Description
When you need to actually see and measure the fine details on a firearm part, this iGaging 10X magnifier earns a permanent spot on the bench. It pairs sharp 10X optics with a laser-etched glass reticle graduated in 0.005" increments, letting you check dimensions right where the scale contacts the work. The 8 built-in LEDs ring the viewing area so you get clean, shadow-free light on whatever you're inspecting, which matters a lot when you're peering into a chamber or reading marks on dark steel.
What the iGaging 10X Loupe Handles at the Bench
Think throat and chamber inspection, thread pitch checks, measuring radii and angles, sizing small holes, and spotting tool marks, pitting, or wear you'd never catch with the naked eye. The optics are distortion free with fine resolution, and the focus adjusts so you can dial in a crisp image on parts of different heights. With a 1-1/4" viewing area and a 34mm reticle, you get a generous window to work through.
Reading the 0.005" Scale Reticle
The scale is photo-etched into glass and sits in direct contact with the part, so the measurement and the object magnify together for an accurate read. The #2 reticle that comes standard covers length, diameter, radii, angles, pitch, and thickness measurement. The screw-in mount means the reticle can be swapped if you pick up others in the iGaging lineup down the road.
Built for Real Shop Use
This is the same tool machinists, toolmakers, and inspectors reach for, so it's no surprise it holds up in a gun shop. The glass lens has real heft and doesn't feel cheap, and the LED illumination lets you work in total darkness if you have to. It tucks into a padded leather case when you're done, so it travels well and stores clean between jobs.

Frequently Asked Questions
What can I measure with the iGaging 10X magnifier?
The #2 reticle reads length, diameter, radii, angles, thread pitch, and thickness, all graduated in 0.005" increments. In a shop setting that covers chamber and throat inspection, thread checks, hole sizing, and hunting down tool marks or wear. The scale sits in contact with the part so the measurement and object magnify together for an accurate read.
Does the LED light stay bright enough for dark work?
Yes. The loupe has 8 LEDs ringing the viewing area, and it's designed to be usable in total darkness. That makes it a lot easier to read fine graduations on dark steel or inside a chamber where ambient light won't reach.
Can the reticle be swapped out on this 10X loupe?
It can. The reticle uses a screw-in mount, so you can change it out if you add other scales from the iGaging lineup. Each reticle stores in its own protective case to keep the glass clean and scratch-free.
What battery does the iGaging 10X magnifier use?
It runs on AG9 button cell batteries, and one comes included so you can use it right out of the case. These are common cells that are easy to replace when the LEDs start to dim.
