Tacticon Falcon V1 3X Red Dot Magnifier | Disabled Combat Veteran Owned Company | Flip to Side Mount for Picatinny Rail and 2.5 inches of Eye Relief | Cross Compatible with Red Dot Sights Accessories

I used this on my most recent hog hunt in east Texas mounted on my AR10 chambered in .308. It aligned pretty well with my red dot sight, was off just a few MM even with the provided spacer. It worked well and held up good for 3 days of rugged use. I hope it continues to hold up! It was also half the price of its nearest competitor. Only down fall so far is the zoom in and out is long winded. I set it at 3x and left it there still managed to bag 2 hogs in 1 engagement while they were running.

Simply put, it magnifies. The eye relief is comparable to others and when you get down to it it’s as easy as finding the right spot to rest your cheek for maximum clarity and view. Obviously functional. Sufficiently accurate from my limited range time with it.

Updated: This review may not make sense if you don't read the original disappointed review included below the update.Tacticon eventually contacted me via email and sent me a replacement unit. They didn't ask for the original to be returned, which was pleasantly surprising. I'd be happy to return it to them as I can't do anything with it, but at this price point it's probably not worth their time to repair it. The new unit is also labeled as a Falcon V1 but it looks different as shown in the new photo I've added. I'm not sure if it's a newer or older version but I think I like this design better. This unit lined up with my inexpensive Bushnell red dot almost instantly. I can see a magnified focused image through the red dot without bobbing my head like a chicken. The new unit functions as expected. I don't know how it compares to more expensive units as this is the only magnifier I've ever had, but based on the quality in relation to the price I give it five stars. Unfortunately, I have to remove one star because the communication with Tacticon over the warranty was poor.------------------------------------------------------Original Review:------------------------------------------------------I will consider changing my review if someone from Tacticon contacts me and fixes the problem as well as addressing the lack of support, but right now I have to rate this as one star.This unit was defective right out of the box. I sent them an email at their support mailbox and waited two days for a response. Nothing. Then I tried calling them. No one answers. After the fourth call on day three I left a message. The next morning I tried calling again, and still no one answered. Finally, I tried using their warranty page on their website. After going through the required process, the webpage gives me an error message and recommends trying again later. I tried again later with the same result. I like to support American companies and especially veterans, but this is some of the worst support I've seen. I suspect I will never be able to get my unit repaired or replaced. You should be prepared to toss your money in the trash if you get a defective one.The issue:I purchased this in Dec 2021 but for complex reasons I didn't get to unbox it until late this summer (2023) when I finally had a chance to attend a rifle class at the national training center (CMP). It was being finicky so I put it back in the box and focused on the rifle skills with just the red dot sight.This week (in Oct 2023) I decided to try and get it installed. No matter how I tried to align this with my red dot sight, it would not work. It's a struggle to get the magnifier to display the red dot sight image even when it looks like it's perfectly lined up externally. The red dot always appears at the top edge of the magnifier and there's no way to get it close to center. Adjusting it takes the red dot completely off the image where you can't see it. In addition, the eye relief is impossible to get right, as the image is completely black if you aren't exactly in the right spot. I've never owned a magnifier before, so I didn't know how they should behave.I finally figured out that the lenses seem to be misaligned internally. Externally, the front and rear lenses look perfect, so it has to be an internal lens that's out of alignment. The image is not round, it's "oval" and you always end up seeing part of the internal tube. This magnifier has been defective since day 1. In the photos I've included, the magnifier is lined up perfectly with my camera. The first image is with my camera zoom, the second image is 1X. It should have a round image appearing in there. Total piece of junk. If I don't hear back from Tacticon in the next week then I'll probably go buy a Bushnell, and avoid buying anything from Tacticon ever again.

I was looking for a magnifier so I tried most of the big brands. This product is very much on par with Vortex and Holosun in my opinion, I could not see a difference. For 1/3 of the price it felt like the obvious choice.

Not the best eye relief, but still super durable metal shell and clear glass at this price range is hard to beat!

I purchased Tacticon Falcon V1 3X magnifier sights last year, and unfortunately, my experience has been far from satisfactory. I've had three units malfunction on me, and I just received the fourth one. This product has proven to be unreliable and untrustworthy.**Issues Encountered:**1. **Alignment Problems:** The first two sights didn't align correctly with the red dot. Even worse, they would move when I fired rounds from my rifle. How does that even happen?2. **Durability Concerns:** The third sight literally broke during use. The lens on the focus side came off, and the end lens broke while I was shooting at the range.3. **Quality Issues:** The general build quality is questionable, with components failing under normal use conditions.**Customer Service Experience:**On the positive side, Tacticon's customer service is excellent. They sent replacements and even provided a discount code for future purchases. However, this doesn't compensate for the fundamental issues with the product itself.**Conclusion:**While I'm happy to support Tacticon and may consider purchasing other gear from them, I will never buy their sights again. The repeated failures and lack of reliability have made me lose trust in these products. My friends laughed at me for buying such a subpar product, and I can't recommend it to anyone.Despite the positive customer service, the core product simply does not meet the necessary standards for performance and durability. I'll continue to use my Elite Battle vest and belt, but with a cautious eye on their performance.This review reflects my personal experience and opinion. I hope it helps others make an informed decision.

These magnifiers are a great value for what you pay. They work well with my holosun and sig optics.The only issue is after about 200 rounds in on my first magnifier- i lost my zero with the red dot.I’ve had to JB Weld the adjustment screws that keep it centered on my red dot.I was losing zero upon first shots all of a sudden. … the jb weld holds them where they need to be. This will work for me until I can get better magnifiers.
