What is /k/'s opinion on this optic ? Vortex Spirtfire

>>31744607
It has a similar reticle but has the added bonus of a variable zoom for a similar price point. The Strike Eagle I find is just great value for money. Though if you can find them at a store and see how you like them.

2nd the Strike Eagle. I replaced my AR-332 with one on my FS2000 and couldn't be happier. Amazing value.

It works.

Things to keep in mind:

- Disassemble the mount and reassemble it with loctite - those screws may not be tight enough out of the box
- Caps will keep falling off
- Mind the pin in the cap - it will try to slide out
- Focal plane is different for red and green illumination - you'll have to adjust the diopter correction

Poorfag or not, this is one of two 3x scopes with diopter correction there is. I wanted to spring up for something nice like ACOG or maybe even that overpriced scope with a fault of not setting itself correct at the lowest magnification the name of which I already forgot, but had to settle with Spitfire 3x because my vision is fucked.

The only other scope with diopter correction (still in poorfag category) is Burris 3x or 5x, but I decided to go with Vortex because of better warranty.

Get it, you're likely to be happy with it for a while.

I own the 1x and love it, best sight ever but I have astigmatism so I prefer it over what I used in the army even though it's 1/5 the price

Vortex makes good shit. I don't particularly like the Spitfire, but that's mostly because I don't particularly like the reticle. There's nothing wrong with it, but do the stuff that >>31744825
suggested.

I thought SOCOM does a ton of testing on optics? How would this have gotten by them?

I've found that for just plinking or shooting cheap home-made whte-trash mall ninja rigs like pic related el-cheapo optics work just fine.

Why spend $1,500 on an optic to put it on a gun worth only a few hundred?
