The magnifier is a useless in my opinion, however i don't have it mounted yet

Just some food for thought since I was in the same position earlier this year, the Vortex is an Aimpoint clone. You can get an Aimpoint PRO with a mount for $400 or less if you shop around. Then you get the 4 year battery life and the rugged reliability Aimpoint is known for. I handled both in my search and ended up shelling out for the real deal.

the upper just seems like a good buy with that included

I have the strikefire on my AR also... works great..... no down sides and available for less than $200.... hard to beat this one.

Its a great optic. I did a comparison about 3 years back compared to an aimpoint ml2. The vortex will take a beating, maybe not like an aimpoint but its not cheap quality. Plus the warrenty is awesome.

Basically thats true...strikefire should be about 150, cheapest aimpoint i know of is 400

I have a sparc and I love it. Battery life is fine for me. Even if it doesn't last 4 years, how much does a replacement watch battery cost? Buy 5 of em at a time.

There was an article I read in ARFcom i believe where a guy beat the ever loving shit out of a strikefire and it didn't fail. And if it does fail, it's got a lifetime warranty. Save your money, buy the vortex.

Edit: here is a torture test on the sparc. I don't think this is the one I read. I remember the one being tested was a green dot (strikefire) and I remember him leaving it out in the snow as well. But nonetheless, it's a torture test on a vortex optic, and I can only assume the sparc and strikefire are of similar construction.

I have one, it's fine for the range and home use.

Trooper has the strike fire. It's awesome. I would definitely add one to one of my rifles.

Yeah, get one.. a 1/3 of the price of an Aimpoint, and it does the job well.

I bought one that died after two range trips. Had something to do with a connection in the battery compartment. I contacted vortex and they made it right very quickly (shipping both ways on their dime/quick turn around). I sold it and reached a little deeper in the wallet and bought something else.

Did anyone post that PSA had a sale coupon code STRIKE on the red/green Vortex Strikefire to take it from $179->$129 through Sunday?
