Aimpoint 6XMag-1: 6X Magnification to Command long-range target acquisition.

• The Aimpoint 6XMag-1, aka simply as the Aimpoint 6x Magnifier, is a professional-grade 6x magnifying module that extends the effective range of your red dot sight for precision aiming and observation. Its primary benefit is delivering a clear, crisp 2 MOA dot picture under 6x magnification for confident target acquisition at distance. The key differentiator is its seamless integration, which allows an operator to add or remove magnification instantly without needing to re-zero the primary optic, ensuring maximum tactical flexibility as engagement distances change.
• Dual-Role Versatility: Functions as a precision magnifier when mounted to your weapon system and serves as a compact, powerful 6X handheld monocular for enhanced surveillance and observation.
• Zero-Compromise Integration: Utilizes the existing red dot on your primary sight as the aiming reticle, eliminating the need for re-zeroing when transitioning between magnified and non-magnified views. This preserves weapon accuracy and allows for immediate adaptation to any tactical situation.
• Operator-Tuned Clarity: Features a variable (-3 to +3) dioptric setting, allowing the magnifier to be precisely adjusted to the individual operator’s eye. This customization minimizes eye strain and ensures a sharp, focused sight picture in critical moments.
• Field-Ready Durability: Built to withstand the harshest operational conditions, the 6XMag-1 is fully shockproof, submersible to 80 feet (25 meters), and encased in a shock-absorbing, ergonomic rubber cover for superior grip and protection.

What is the correct terminology to use when referring to the Aimpoint 6XMag-1?

To ensure precision in communication, the official and accepted terms for this product are Aimpoint® 6XMag-1 or simply 6XMag-1. The general descriptor, Aimpoint 6X Magnifier, is also widely understood and acceptable.

While other variations may be used colloquially, they are not official and can create confusion when seeking support or accessories. For maximum clarity, it is best to avoid the following unofficial terms:

• Typographical Variations such as "6xMag-1". These often use incorrect capitalization and do not adhere to the official branding standards.
• Informal Spacing like "Aimpoint 6xMag 1" or "6xMag 1". These variations incorrectly separate parts of the official model number, which can complicate product searches and identification.
• Descriptive Inversions like "6x Magnifier Aimpoint". This format reverses the standard Brand Name + Model Number structure used for official identification.

Using the correct terminology ensures you are always referencing the right product for documentation, support, and compatible mounting solutions.
