Vortex SPARC

[NBui4]

Read a lot about this item and it seems like a great red dot sight for the $179 I am paying (Usually $199, and $289 on Vortex website). Anybody have any experience with this optic?

The $179 deal I am getting is from http://www.3riversprecision.com/index.php Promo Code: macsparc

No personal experience with them. Here is a review from AR15.com

I usually get opticsplanet.com to price match other sites and get the free shipping also.

Thanks for the link. I actually saw that not too long ago which made me want it in the fist place. Seemed like a good beginner/intermediate dot.

3 Rivers Precision gave me free shipping with it as well.

looks interesting. I would worry about the glass quality if you have parallax within 50 yds though. An inch at 50 yds isn't a huge issue, but its a systemic result of cheaper glass. It could be more difficult to get good focus at longer distances.

I don't have any time on this red-dot, but tons of hours on Aimpoints and other 1-4x scopes. Parallax free and everything is in focus regardless of the distance for the most part.

Just food for thought.

Its not as good as a Aimpoint Micro, but for the price there real nice.

Just got it over the weekend. Looks great so far for the price, nice and bright. Will have to go shoot with it soon.
