Red dots can be useful out to about 200-yards. Now, add a magnifier, and seeing that target at 200-yards becomes a helluva lot easier. It also makes hitting that target easier. Move up to 50-yards, and small targets are even easier to destroy.

Can you put a magnifier in front of a red dot?
You cant mount the magnifier before the red dot. Since the magnifier is really a magnified scope , you need to worry about eye relief. Mounting it in the front will not work. If you mount it in the front, your eye will be beyond the eye relief range and will simply result in a dark image.
