Vortex 1x30 Strikefire Red Dot 30mm
I have had this sight for about a year now mounted on my Stag 2HT AR15. The extra high mount sold with this scope co-witnesses perfectly with the fixed front sight. It comes with high quality flip up lens covers which is an absolute must for all of my scopes. The only thing I don't like about the scope is it lacks dot intensity. When using the scope in bright sunlight the dot can be hard to see in red or green mode. It is still visible and functional but Vortex needs to work on increasing the dot intensity. Also, the 2x doubler is nice but it does give the sight some tunnel vision as the field of view is severely diminished. Overall I am very happy with the sight and have recommended to several friends who have also purchased the sight. You can't beat the price and the awesome customer service at Vortex. The transferable lifetime warranty is amazing. If you don’t have the money for an Aimpoint then this or the Vortex SPARC is the sight you should get.... More

Excellent Choice for your AR
I was in the market for a good Red-Dot for a while, considering Aimpoint and Eotech, but I am glad I got the Vortex. It is just an all around Great Optic with a great Co-Witness with the mount that's included. I put this sweet baby on my S&W M&P 15 and it is just so much more value for the money and with the addition of the 2x magnifier saves you even more money right off the bat. I am extremely happy with this Red-Dot and I will be singing its praises to all who ask. Forget about spending thousands, when you got the real deal right here for not even a quarter of the price. The lens covers are somewhat hard to snap back on, but I believe they will loosen up soon and I plan on adding the Killflash option to it very soon. Like I said, you will not be disappointed with this optic for the quality and value I know it will give me many years of fine service. Give it a try, you will not be disappointed!... More
