…but when you need to shoot at large targets up close, you simply aim by putting the large rings (which your eye picks up very fast) over your target.Īll in all, it’s a very well designed reticle, and I really like it a lot. The 3 MOA dot in the center gives you a fair amount of precision when you need it… I actually like this reticle quite a bit because it’s built to allow you to shoot fast. This reticle is unique to the Spitfire, and it has a 3 MOA dot in the center, which is surrounded by a small inner ring and then a very large outer ring. Now, the reticle on the Spitfire is called the DRT Reticle, which stands for Dual Ring Tactical Reticle… …And it is very different from a red dot sight like the Strikefire, which has unlimited eye relief. That’s exactly what you want with a 1x scope because it means your eye doesn’t have to be in the exact same spot every time just to see clearly through your optic (this is important for fast shooting)… The good news is that the eye relief is a generous 3.8 inches and the eye box is also fairly forgiving. That being said, because the Spitfire is a 1x prism scope rather than a red dot sight there are many differences from the Strikefire 2.įirst of all, because it’s a 1x scope, the Spitfire has critical eye relief and an eye box. Once again, the lens is very clear and it allows you to get a very clean sight picture. The lens clarity on the Spitfire is also very good. So for that purpose, it’s a pretty useful dot size to go with. This allows you to shoot very quickly, especially at large targets that are at close range. I personally like the color red when I’m dealing with optics and sights, but some people do prefer green and I think it’s great that Vortex gives you that option with this sight.Īs for the 4 MOA dot reticle, I personally prefer a smaller reticle like a 2 MOA dot, but the advantage of having a larger 4 MOA dot is that your eye picks up the reticle very fast… Now the reticle on the Strikefire 2 is a 4 MOA dot, and there are actually two models of this optic that you can choose between… …and that’s something that will come in handy if you end up having to make shots quickly or from awkward shooting positions. You’ll be able to see clearly through it… That means it doesn’t matter how close or far your eye is in relation to the optic. This is important because it allows you to see more of your target down range and because it allows you to be more aware of your surroundings when using your firearm.Īlso, because it’s a red dot sight rather than a prism scope like the Spitfire, the eye relief on the Strikefire is unlimited.
…and because it’s a large red dot sight as opposed to a micro red dot you have a pretty large field of view through the optic AND you can shoot with both eyes open. You don’t get any of the annoying greenish or bluish tint that you get with some other red dot sights on the market… The lens is very clear, and it allows you to get a very clean sight picture. The lens clarity on the Vortex Strikefire 2 is very good. Winner: DRAW Lens Clarity And Reticle… Vortex Strikefire Honestly, there’s really not much that separates them in this category, so I have to call it a draw. Durability And Toughness Conclusions…īoth of these optics are made by Vortex, so it’s only natural that they’re built to similar specs and with similar features.įor example, they both have a sight housing made from anodized aluminum alloy, and they’re both waterproof, fog proof, and shockproof. Last, it’s also shockproof, so recoil from any of your typical firearms won’t be a problem. To start off with, the sight housing is made from a tough aluminum alloy, and because it’s a large-bodied red dot, it’s incredibly rugged. The Vortex Strikefire 2 is a very durable red dot sight.
Let’s jump into it! Durability And Toughness… Vortex Strikefire In the end, I’ll tell you which of these two optics I prefer, and you should have all the information you need to determine if either of these sights will work for you. Extra Accessories Included With The Sight.So in this Vortex Strikefire Vs Spitfire comparison, we’re going to put these two sights up against each other and see how they compare in the following categories… Now obviously, both of these optics are from Vortex, but because one is a red dot sight and the other is a 1x prism scope they are very different sighting systems.
