I just got the Vortex sparc after having good luck with my strikefire. I love the size and weight, but i found something i really dobnt like and it didnt seem that it was normal at least to me


When i am looking through it normally it has flares coming out of it the really draw my attention off the dot so much that it becomes more of a line

but when i tilt the sight so that the dot is on the side of the reticle it is perfectly clear?

is this a problem or i am just crazy?  It does not happen with my strikefire that is why i question it



Any owners or Factory guys have advice?

Does this happen at the lowest setting?  Mine does it when I have it set too bright for the surroundings.  Also, there's a Vortex forum where the company may respond faster than here.  My experience with Vortex has been great.  Right now I have three StrikeFires and one SPARC.

when it is at bright is the worst but lower level still does some   Night vision not at all? ( only can see with magnifier or darker room


but i have this gun for land protection and need it to be able to go inside and out if needed

Is there any ay you can find another one to look through to see if it looks the same?  Also, I had a Killflash on mine and took it off because it slightly distorted the dot if my eye wasn't exactly centerd.  Other than that, I don't have any suggestions.  Sorry.  Vortex will absolutely fix it if it's broken.
