Thanks for the review. After a great experience ordering an EoTech from you, I decided to bite the bullet and order this magnifier from you two. Was hoping to wait another month or two - but yours' is the best price around!
There's probably people who will disagree with me but I think these Juliet magnifiers are just as good as EOTech or AimPoint with a better price. I like them because you don't have to push a button to flip it to the side you just pull it aside have a nice stiff retention spring in them and with the spacers that come with them I think you can make them work with just about any red out there Granite they're not cheap but they do have a better price point than EOTech or AimPoint!!!!!!!
One thing you could do Heart of Texas the next time you put the Juliet 6 on the rifle I like to see what the dot on the Romeo looks like how much it magnifies it?
Thanks for the video. I've been wanting to buy this to replace my eotech g33 for the extra magnification. Now I'm more comfortable spending the extra money.
Yes actually I'm gonna email you with subject "Mk18" if you can do decent pricing I'll order all my misc accessories right though you on this new build.
When you used the tree line for reference, I didn’t even focus on that, I was looking at the cars which appeared to be 250/300yards away? And the flag which you couldn’t see until you looked to through that magnifier and that had to be at least a good 600 maybe? Liked the review keep up the good work.
This would go well with My HS510c sweet magnifier, I don’t really like the 3X because it’s not enough magnification but I think 6X is perfect, great review
I'm not sure if you mentioned it in the video, I might have missed it. How do you like the eye relief? I was looking at other 6X red dot magnifiers and the most common complaint is too little eye relief. People have a hard time getting their face up close enough to the magnifiers. This seems to have a little more eye relief at 2.5" compared to some other 6x options.
I wish I had some other 6X magnifier in the shop to compare them against the new Sig offering. What I can say is that feel that the Juliet3 & Juliet4 magnifiers beat most other magnifiers in regards to eye relief. And then these 6X versions seem to have pretty much the same amount of eye relief as the 3X and 4X. So that leads me to believe that they would compete very well against other high magnification magnifiers.
All magnifiers have short eye relief, it’s just the trade off you get for having 3,4,5 or 6x magnification in such a small package. Just one more thing to consider when deciding between a red dot and magnifier or some sort of LPVO or other options. There’s no perfect solutions, only compromises. A magnified red dot will never be able to compete with an acog or lpvo at range but you get more capability at close range. I know this comment is old but I thought I’d just leave it here for any future people wondering about the pros and cons.
Looks like because of the extra length, you'd not be able to use a rear BUIS due to rail spacing, unless you place your red dot on the handguard rail. I wouldn't be opposed to doing such a thing, but of course some handguards don't have the front rail portion, and it -slightly- hampers modularity (ie if I wanted to change out handguards, I now have to rezero).
I've had a couple low-power variable magnification optics, and a couple red dots, but I've never tried using a magnifier. I've been looking for a while to find the right one, and I think the Juliet6 is the one I want to try, but one thing is stopping me: Do the magnifiers also magnify the reticle itself? I remember reading somewhere that this is the case with red dot sights, but not with holographic sights (such as an EOTech), but now a couple years later when I'm finally ready to buy one, I can't seem to find anyone mention this ANYWHERE online, in any form! Is this the case? If so, I'm trying to imagine how it would impact your shooting at longer ranges. I mean a 2 MOA dot covers a space of 2" at 100 yds, 4" at 200 yds, etc... If you're magnifying the dot, the dot will still cover the same amount of space at each range, you're just actually seeing it bigger as well. If it does in fact magnify the dot, I can see a huge advantage going to FFP variable scopes, allowing you to shoot with more precision at longer ranges. Am I mistaken here?
That's a great question. I wasn't actually sure myself, so I went ahead and found out for you. I set a 2in circle on a wall. And then walk back to a 100 yard location. Then I used a rangefinder to get the distance accurate. I then confirmed using a Romeo 5 (2 MOA) that the reticle matched up with the 2 inch circle at the 100-yard distance. It of course did. And then I flipped the magnifier (a Juliet 6) into position and the dot still covered the same two inch circle. Hope that helps!
Heart of Texas Armory Ok, so the reticle was 2 inches at 100 yards with or with out the Juliet6. So the magnifier will not increase the size of the reticle at 600 yards? Love the UA-cam videos and the great customer service.
You definitely can use them together. One thing to keep in mind though is that rail space might come into play. Because both Optics have a bit larger of a footprint. But if you have the real space, they will definitely work together.
@@HeartofTexasArmory well it's going on a Mossberg MVP scout rifle in 308 with a full xs. Rail system. I'm trying to do a practical tactical build last gun I'm ever going to buy ,I have this image in my head of what I want to do and I want to do it rite . Thank you for your help when I am ready for the optics I will buy from you.
what are the effective ranges of 3x 4x 5x and 6x also can the 6x adjust its magnification from 3x all the way to 6x and which suits and ar15 best thank you
Effect ranges for the Juliet3 and 4 would be 50-250 yards IMO. I would say the sweet spot of the 6X Juliet would be from 75-350 yards. You of course could go out to farther distances with any of them. But at that point I would rather have an actual scope with more magnification. It also depends on your eye sight. All of the Juliet magnifiers are fixed magnification.
Really wanted to like this magnifier. But when I focus the diopter out to distance I get 2 and then 3 images of the reticle. Spoke to their customer service who said its an accepted problem with higher magnifications and that I should try looking away and then quickly looking in the sight. That didn't really work and it's not the way I shoot distance. I love sig but I want both sharp subject and a single reticle and for this price I think that's reasonable. The rest of the build quality is great as you would expect. The clarity is good enough. Don't expect premium glass at this point.
that is strange because i have the sightmark magnifrier pro in 7x and i have it sighted behind a holosun and i donot have no problems at distance i get a better reticle image looking though the magnifrier with the holosun than i do just looking though the red dot by it self
Glad I read these comments. I was about to pass on the Juliet6 because I thought I wouldn't be able to fit a flip up sight under/behind it. Should work fine if the mount can be moved forward. Thanks!
The Romeo 6T would pair up with this magnifier just fine. But I think the better option would be the 4T as it wouldn't be quite as long and overall length.
@@Any_Zenin send me an email if you're looking to purchase them. I'll give you a really nice discount if you purchase both the same time. I can ship to Germany no problem at all
@@BryanDenenberg And if you're looking for a good deal on one. I do have a coupon code that will save you quite a bit of money off of the magnifier. And I even have one open box unit which is in new condition that I would make you a really good deal on you if you're interested in that one just let me know!
The mount should be reversable by removing the screw/bolts that hold the mount to the magnifier. Then rotate the magnifier and reinstall the screws. As for the turrets, they are for centering your red dot reticle perfectly when looking through the magnifier.
Yes it is. You are able to remove the screws flip the magnifier around on the mount, then reattach the screws. I have to do that it will be set up for left hand
Gene they will work just fine with pretty much any optic. As long as they line up in height. The Juliet magnifiers come out of the box at absolute cowitness height. You can use a spacer to get up to lower 1/3 height if you need too.
Both are excellent! But typically I would recommend the Juliet4 first. A smaller size and weight to me is a benefit that is hard to ignore. But on the other hand if you are taking shots beyond 200 yd often, that's where the Juliet6 comes into play.
I agree the glass in the Primary Arms magnifiers are really bad. I don't even like the 3x Primary Arms magnifier, as the distortion pretty much defeats the purpose. Hopefully they improve the glass clarity if they decide to bring out a new version.

I am able to fit this and a Vortex Huey on a Sig Rattler 5.5 inch barrel with flip up sights.
Yeah, any flip up buis should fit nicely under the magnifier. Fixed back up irons wouldn’t work obviously
Great review. What kind of stock is that on your rifle? It's super nice.
Hey thanks so much Heart of Texas Armory. Appreciate your video reviews on these optics. Trying to decide which is right for me! Let's Go Brandon!

3x 300 yards . 4x 400 yards . 6X yards For 7.62 NATO !
Pretty good rule of thought I would say.

Would love to see how this one looks at further ranges than 100y and with a reticle. Also how does the Juliet series compare to the Holosun series?
On the bottom of the optic there’s what looks like two screw holes so the flip mount can be moved forward. Is this correct?
Correct.

How do yo get the front protective lens off? Special tool? I realize it screws off, but that puppy is tight.
