Hence, on a 36X scope, Davis' 3X booster creates the equivalent of a 46X power scope. Starting with a 45X Leupold you can get 58X power. Many long-range BR shooters are using this product and reporting to Gene that they can see bullet holes at 600 yards and beyond for the first time. However, there <u>is</u> a price for the extra magnification–the reticle will appear slightly larger, and the image will appear somewhat darker. But, according to Gene: "the image darkening is almost imperceptible during prime daylight hours." We think Gene's invention is a winner–a great way to get more magnification at a low cost–$100.00. We also like the fact that, unlike an internal boosting job, you can simply remove the Booster if you want to return to the original magnification level.</p><p><img src="http://accurateshooter.net/Blog/davismagnifierx350.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></p><p>Gene reports: "If the scope has screw-in lens caps, these Optical Boosters perform well.
