Default Re: [High-Tech] Reflex Sight + Scope: "can be used, but not with magnifying scopes"

Quite. Here's a modern system that shows how this works.

It has a 3x magnifier that can be moved into place behind the reflex sight.

Here's a video that shows how they work together, look for the green dot (Vicky's is also a video; I missed it my first read through)

I'd probably just let 'em stack: You always get the +1 to Guns skill because magnified or not, you can see the dot and you keep both eyes open; aim and you get another +1 for the magnifying scope (just so it does something).

Using On Target, where Aim is a skill roll, I would probably require the equivalent of a Fast-Aim roll to pick up the dot, because the field of view from which you can see said dot is narrower and requires more-proper cheek weld with the magnifier. If you make the roll, you get the +1 to Guns (proper alignment) instantly. If you then take the Aim action, that impacts your Guns skill and helps you aim. A successful Aim roll will ALSO give you the reflex sight bonus if you haven't earned it already, and also gain your either your Acc flat bonus or the die roll that I love the most. :-)
