Price Alert
October 2026 on GunPartPicker
Vortex Optics Micro 3x Magnifier was the third most added magnifier on GunPartPicker in October 2026, behind the SIG Sauer Juliet 3 Magnifier Micro 3X, Black - SOJ3M001, with about 7% of all magnifiers added to builds. Up from #4 in August and September. Builds with this magnifier are mostly chambered in 5.56 NATO (76%, then .223 Wylde 11%), split between mid-length (52%) and carbine-length (33%) gas systems, and nearly all AR-15.
Availability is good: it was in stock at one retailer or another nearly every day in October 2026, and today 7 of the 9 retailers we track have it in stock. Prices barely moved in October 2026, holding around $299.99, so there haven't been real sales lately. Buying today, the lowest price is $299.99 at Brownells, which matches the best price we saw in October.
