    Vortex Red Dot????

    I am thinking about purchasing a vortex red dot or a bushnell red dot for my AR. I have heard decent things about the bushnell but not really anything about vortex optics or even about them as a company. I was just wondering if any of you guys have any knowledge of them and if they are a good buy over the Bushnell. Thanks

    I bought a Vortex Strikefire and I'm pretty happy with it. I haven't put it through any hard use yet though. Heard great thing's about their customer service. Lifetime warranty as well. Got my from Cabela's for $150.

      If you can wait I'll post a report on the following RDS (Aimpoint T1, Vortex Sparc, and Lucid HD7).

        What front sight are you running? Depending on your mounting requirements and the front sight you have, you may run into cowitness problems with the Vortex. I know I did...

            Vortex, for the money is great.

                The Vortex Strikefire is tough to beat for the money. A really great value. We have them in-stock right now too.

                  I'd say it's well worth the money. I had a small issue w/ a mount [it was all my fault actually] and the CS department took care of me promptly. I've put a lot of rounds downrange and haven't had an issue. The screw in magnifier and caps could be better... but they're far from a deal breaker.

                    is it better value (dollar for dollar) than the SPARC? (@180)

                      Red Dot sights from both companies should provide good service, but the extra goodies that Vortex includes makes them desireable. They include a variety of mounting options, AND also include 2X doublers for a bit of magnification. Some models also include a NV setting as well.
