EOTECH G45 5X Magnifier
The EOTECH G45 takes everything shooters love about the legendary G33 and adds greater magnification for increased precision at longer distances. Featuring 5x magnification, a rugged Switch-to-Side (STS) mount, and crystal-clear optics, the G45 is an excellent choice for shooters who want to extend the effective range of their rifle while maintaining the speed of a holographic sight or red dot.
Like the G33, the G45 includes an adjustable diopter, windage and elevation adjustments, and a riser plate for compatibility with optics mounted between 1.63" and 1.93" centerline heights.

Our Thoughts
The EOTECH G33 has long been considered one of the best magnifiers on the market, and the G45 builds on that success by increasing magnification to 5x without significantly increasing its footprint.
Advances in optical design have made higher-power magnifiers practical, and EOTECH was quick to bring that technology to market. The result is a magnifier that gives shooters more capability at distance while still maintaining an excellent field of view and fast deployment.
If your rifle is primarily used inside 200–300 yards, we generally recommend the G33. The 3x magnification offers a wider field of view and is slightly faster for general-purpose shooting.
However, if you're shooting a rifle chambered in a caliber capable of reaching farther—or you simply want better target identification and increased precision beyond typical carbine distances—the G45 is an outstanding option.
Whether you're running a 5.56 SPR-style rifle, a 14.5" general-purpose carbine, or a larger caliber such as 6 ARC, .308, or 6.5 Creedmoor, the additional magnification provides a noticeable advantage when engaging smaller or more distant targets.
Getting the Best Performance
To maximize the performance of your magnifier:
-
Use the windage and elevation adjustments to center your optic's reticle within the magnifier's viewing window.
-
Adjust the diopter while focusing on a target approximately 200–300 yards away until the image appears as sharp as possible.
Proper setup results in a much clearer sight picture and allows you to get the most out of your optic and magnifier combination.
Final Verdict
The EOTECH G45 is an excellent choice for shooters who want to push the capabilities of their rifle beyond what a standard 3x magnifier offers. It delivers increased precision and target identification while preserving the speed and simplicity of a red dot or holographic sight.
If your rifle regularly sees longer-range engagements or you're looking for the most capability from your holographic sight, the EOTECH G45 is one of the best 5x magnifiers available today.
