![]() 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. 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. ![]()
