Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I need to re-zero my Eotech HWS after installing a magnifier?

Re-zeroing is often necessary because the magnification of the Eotech 3X Magnifier allows you to see the target and point of impact more accurately, potentially revealing a need for adjustment to maintain consistent accuracy between magnified and non-magnified views.

What is the purpose of centering the reticle on an Eotech magnifier?

Centering the reticle within the Eotech 3X Magnifier is purely an aesthetic adjustment. It ensures the reticle appears visually centered in the magnifier's field of view, but it does not impact the firearm's actual point of impact or zero.

What tools are needed to center the reticle on an Eotech 3X Magnifier?

You can use the specific Eotech adjustment tool provided with the magnifier or a standard flathead screwdriver to turn the horizontal and vertical adjustment screws located on the magnifier itself.

Does centering the reticle affect my Eotech sight's zero?

No, centering the reticle on the Eotech 3X Magnifier is an aesthetic adjustment and does not change the zero of your Eotech HWS. The firearm's zero is established independently.
