Vortex Red Dot

Looking at the Vortex Strikefire, has anyone had good or bad experiences with it?

I have one on my 15-22 and love it. Been there for several thousand rounds and hold zero great.

I have one on my 15-22 as well and have had the same experience as RCCrawler. I also own a number of Vortex PST scopes and a Vortex Razor HD spotting scope and they have all been great.

Vortex strike fire red/green kept shutting off when I shot it on an AR (5.56 cal). I sent it back, they fixed it, then I sold it.

I have not owned a Strikefire, my consensus from everyone's review it is 50/50, some hate it and some love them. Why I held off on them then I bought a SPARC and love the little thing, it $40 more than the Strikefire, but essentially a Micro dot clone, uses aimpoint mounts and all if you don't like the the 3 different mounting options they give you in the box.

There is this great review of one on ar15.com (http://www.ar15.com/forums/t_2_277/187104_Vortex_SPARC_Review.html) where guy just abused the SPARC and it held up.
