![]() Two buttons cycle through eight visible red-dot intensities and two IR levels, and turn the optic on and off. The Sparc II’s controls are on the left-hand side of the objective lens, where they can be easily accessed, even when used in conjunction with a magnifier or night-vision devices. To be honest, the country of origin did concern us a little because we had fears the Sparc II wouldn’t hold it together long enough and force us to write a one-sentence article like this, “When attaching the Sparc II to the Picatinny rail, the mount broke, so we just ended up drinking beer and stalking people on Instagram.” Fortunately, our fears were way off base. Although roughly the same size and shape as an Aimpoint T1, it’s also only one-third the cost. Now, before we set off on our path of destruction, let’s talk about this optic and its short, agonizing future. Trust us, we’ve tried.īut what about Vortex? Can its optics take a hit or will it have a glass jaw? Well, we figured it would be a good test to take Vortex’s cheapest optic, the Sparc II, hand it to a Marine, and just let nature take its course. We’ve beaten up our S&Bs, Nightforces, Aimpoints, and EOtechs way more than is reasonable, and it’s easier to break rocks than an ACOG. ![]() But since Vortex hasn’t been in this game as long as their competitors, there isn’t as much empirical data on the durability of these attractive sights. ![]() Every one of their products that we’ve shot with and finger banged - from simple 1x red-dots to precision-rifle optics for even the largest of calibers - have been well thought out, well made, and often boast a clarity better than some much more expensive glass. Vortex Optics has recently and effectively filled that gap in the market by providing a large range of great-quality optics at prices that let you keep both kidneys. Certainly, there have been optics in the medium price range, but oftentimes their quality was only marginally better than the cheap junk, or their price point was such that it was worth saving your pennies to hold out for a higher-quality optic from one of the aforementioned companies or their peers. Best of all, the Vortex OPMOD SPARC II miniature red dot is backed by the Vortex VIP Warranty, so you can rest assured this optic will serve you for years to come.For decades now there’s been a huge gap between high-priced, high-quality optics from companies like Schmidt & Bender, Nightforce, Trijicon, Aimpoint, or Leupold and the cheap, Chinese junk you commonly find at gun shows and on eBay. And with fully multi-coated glass, unlimited eye relief and a wide temperature operating range, there's no doubt this sight is a top contender for your gun.Ĭomplete with various mounting bases, wrench, battery, and optic cover, this red dot sight is ready to go straight from the box. The minimal size of this true 1x red dot takes up only a small bit of real estate on your 1913 picatinny rail, allowing for other accessories to be added, such as magnifiers and night vision clip-ons. With the one-piece construction of the Vortex OPMOD SPARC II red dot sight, we've developed a lightweight sight that's nearly indestructible, ready to take a beating from any rifle, pistol or shotgun. The skillfully engineered Vortex OPMOD SPARC II Red Dot Sight packs features, functionality and value into a micro red dot that's exclusive to OpticsPlanet.
