Vortex Optics Spitfire AR 1x Prism Scope with DRT (MOA) Reticle by Vortex

Ce scope prismatique est excellent. Le réticule est gravé donc visible en tout temps même sans batterie. Les critiques sont probablement dues au fait de n'avoir point réglé l'oculaire. Une fois cela réglé, j'ai même trouvé un léger effet grossissant et ai pu tiré les deux yeux ouvert contrairement à ce qui est dit dans les commentaires. je recommande vivement ; Vortex reste très performant et une garantie à vie. Pour ceux comme moi, qui n'ont pas les moyens de mettre une petite fortune dans du Eotech ou du Aimpoint comme je ne vais pas sur un terrain d'opération, le spitfire fera amplement l'affaire !

If you have an Astigmatism, this is probably the only RDS to truly consider. If you don't, it's still a must for 1x battlefield style RDS. I've used several different RDS over the years. The EO Techs have double images, the Aimpoints are a combo of grapes and sunburst. And I've read some promising reviews on others, but when you dig deep, they are good for some, but definitely not for all. This Vortex Spitfire however, is crystal clear, not an ounce of blurring, shading, bursting, or anything. Absolutely perfect, and without glasses. Now on to the sight, whether you have an astigmatism or not... I was afraid the 2 rings and a the dot would be too much, distracting, and get in the way of the sight picture. Wrong. It's actually the opposite. Sight acquisition is much faster. You can get the 2 rings up on target centered ultra-fast. And for the longer shots, the rings will get you close and the dot will hone you in for the perfect shot. I really like the fact you can switch from red to green. And like others, you can adjust the brightness. Obviously different lighting conditions will determine if one is superior to the other, but overall, I find the green quicker and easier, especially with my aging eyes. I have primarily used the box style RDS, with a big sight picture through the glass. I was also worried with the smaller sight picture through the actual sight on this, it would minimize the overall sight picture acquisition making target lock-on harder. Again...couldn't have been more wrong. The profile of the sight is small and there is very minimal obstruction of the frame in the sight picture, both in the sight and peripherally. Very easy and quick to use when shooting with both eyes open, and to keep on target while shooting and moving (and keep your peripheral observation possible). And if you're a one-eyed shooter, you still have enough peripheral viewing that the smaller window will not be any concern. I actually again find it quicker than the box style. The frame of the sight actually also works as a bigger sighting ring. Because the window is smaller, you get your target in the sight picture quicker because there's less of a window to move your target around. With the box sights, I found myself primarily focused on whatever is in the glass, minimizing my overall observation of my area of operation. With the smaller sight than the box style, I can focus on whatever I'm up on target on, but still be able to observe the remaining areas of my normal visual plane. Basically, this allows me to focus on my target only, focus on both target and peripheral, or quickly scan everything...adding to the versatility. The box style just feels like it forces me to narrowly focus through the sight only. With this sight in particular, I also like that I can turn it off or it turns off automatically when it does not sense it's in use anymore. And it turns on quickly.I like there is an interchangeable elevation knob specific to the 5.56/.223. When you unscrew the cap covers, the windage adjustment is a standard MOA click (that you can unscrew and reset to zero once sighted in). For elevation, you can either keep the standard MOA or swap out for the 5.56/.223 marked up knob, which has numbers on it is based on yards (again, can reset to zero after sight-in). For my eyes, I like that the sighting is rings and a ultra fine dot and does not use the drop lines. My eyes aren't completely terrible, but using those may be obsolete in a real setting for me (if I can't even see the lines and elevation markers). Besides, once you get past a hundred yards, now you have to start thinking about windage too. At that point, I'll need a program, chart, or other mechanism to get the right sight-in. And at the point when I'm taking time to calculate, I now have time to unscrew the cap covers and adjust windage and elevation through clicks, which is more accurate because I can then put the single dot on target, not a guesstimate line. Also, let's be real, this is not being used for a sniper rifle, so I'm not sure I'll ever adjust anyhow. This is a battlefield style sight for 100 yards and in. Overall, if I could give this more than 5 stars, I would. Price, functionality, and quality deserve more. You will NOT be disappointed in this sight, astigmatism or not.

乱視のわたしには等倍のレンズが付いているこのタイプは有難いです。価格はそれなりにしますがしっかりとした物なので長く使えそうです。

This scope is very close to perfect for the new AR I put together. It is 1x , has an etched reticle (black), red illumination as well as green. It has auto off , it is NV compatible (the instruction manual says so), its built like a tank, has great flip up covers and takes 1 AAA battery. There will ALWAYS be a reticle. I have put Aimpoints and various other RDS on other builds but wanted this one for the permanent etched reticle. The glass is super clear, the reticle is super clear (the dot is way better than any RDS I have and I have the good ones). There is no blue or green tint like on some red dot scopes.. there is no tritium that will fade out after 10 years..the mount is super solid. The reticle is simple and not cluttered up with hold over junk and yardage nonsense. Now, it doesn't work like a red dot so don't expect it to because its a little different in that if you try both eyes open shooting with it it'll take some getting used to but its worth it. Vortex has amazing customer service, I sent an email to them asking a basic question about the scope and they replied within 15 minutes. I'll be buying more of them for other rifles.

I must have gone through hundreds of sites, reviews, videos, etc. looking for the perfect sight for my first AR-15 custom build. I had originally wish-listed the old Spitfire with DRT reticle, but that one was since seemingly replaced by this newer, smaller, cheaper (only cost-wise) version. Excellent sight. Excellent optics. Excellent body, heft, sturdiness, the built-in mount - all of it. Crystal clear reticle when lit in darkness, and the etching is outstanding in bright sunlight (don't need to turn it on at all when at the range). I love this thing. Just spent some quality time with the newly finished rifle at the range today and sighted this scope in first at 25 yards, then at 100. I had roughly sighted it in with a cheap bore sight in the garage prior to going, just to be sure that I landed on paper at all. The 5.56 BDC turret cap that comes with it really helped seal the deal for me (zero at 100 yards, install cap, and you now have a bullet drop compensator for longer ranges). I wanted a 1x, red-dot type scope for home defense, but with the ability to have fun at the range. This scope does that and even allows for playing at longer distances should the opportunity arise. The etched prism allows family members with astigmatism to see clearly. No worries about warping edges or fuzzy reticles with a 1-6x. Just simple "it works" hardware that will probably outlast the rifle itself. Don't forget the name, either. Vortex's lifetime worry-free warranty means I don't have to worry about dropping this thing straight to pavement.
