| So I always liked the look of this sight, but thought vortex horribly missed the price point on them. Well cabelas is selling them for only $279 for black Friday. Has anyone used them. Video reviews on line seem to fancy them, and it seems to handle some pretty big drops and impacts, but I want to get peoples opinions. I know that people out there have mixed views on vortex so I'm looking for those who have actually used it. |

It came out after I already had a mini red dot (I have a FadstFire II). I've read that the Vortex is a very robust sight, and form what time I have spent with it, it seems to be up to the high standards of the other Vortex products. I imagine I will own one in the near future, Leopold's Deltapoint is out of my price range. Plus, I have no need for the motion-sensing on/off on the Leupold, and I can't warm up to the shape of the window. I do recall that the dot in the Vortex was sharper to my eye than the dot on my FastFire II.    Mark H. |
| Even at that price, I'd have a hard time justifying it when you can get a Fastfire III with an extremely robust steel mount for less. Optics and build-quality wise they seem to be in the same league, and I never had any gripes with the fast-fire. The ARF3 mount looks like crap, but offers significant protection. |

I'm looking at one to replace my Fastfire 3, which was a good optic until the emitter window developed a chip and I managed to crossthread the battery lid. Doh!
Im hoping the vortex is more duable than the fastfire. I like it's battery compartment and illumination buttons more than the fastfire, and it takes a standard CR2032 battery in a tray that doesnt have threads to strip. |
