I Like It!

I use my Spitfire on a custom 10/22. That's not at all overkill when the top five scores are above 97% at 100 yards. My weakness is focusing too closely on the X-ring and occasionally giving my competition an excellent shot. The Spitfire has huge field of view so I can verify the correct target. The sight is, small, light, easy to use and extremely accurate. The Spitfire is exactly suited for my shooting.

Tavor X95

Optic itself, is welll designed, Con: the lens caps arent the best. I like the etched reticle Incase of battery failure, still can use it.

Can't go wrong with Vortex products.

Mounted it on my Diamondback DB15 chambered in 5.56 Nato. Exactly what I was looking for. The lighted retical is sweet. I've used the range retical out to 300 yards on a 10" plate. Works perfectly. This is the third Vortex product I currently own. Great products!

Near perfect...

Pros: The glass quality on this product is excellent. I've run it in 2 pretty brutal matches so far (drops & bumps, mud & pouring rain, crawling through sand, etc) and it has held up quite well. I've made shots out to 600 yards in multiple weather conditions and I was able to be confident in those shots because of how good this glass is. The weight is low, the included mount feels high quality, and sales/tech was top notch when i contacted them before buying it to ask some technical questions. The finish seems pretty durable so far. Turrets seemed solid and easy to adjust. Cons: The only con for me is that the turrets are 1moa per click. I really would've liked at least 1/2 moa clicks, as I found when truing up at 600 yards that i was about a 1/2 minute off on my windage. For that I took off a star. Misc: The included scope caps work, but aren't my preference. Because of the external geometry, you won't be able to securely mount a flip cap to the front. The eye relief is short. You'll end up mounting this at the back of your receiver.

Vortex sight

I returned this to Brownells because it would not hold zero. This is the first and only Vortex sight I've ever had an issue with.
