| My friend and I both have vortex stikefire red/green dot optics. His dot is smaller and when you push the off button it only switches between red and green. You have to hold the off button for a few seconds to actually turn it off. On mine you push the off button between red green and off. You don't have to hold it to turn it off. The dot also looks bigger. Is his or mine a newer version? Also, is one or the other better? |

The dot also looks bigger. Is his or mine a newer version? Also, is one or the other better? His sounds like a newer version if he has to hold the button to turn it off. Other than that there shouldn't be much difference between the two, but it is interesting that his dot looks smaller. I don't know if I would necessarily say one is better than the other, unless the smaller dot is really important to you. If you like you can always call up customer service and talk to them to see if they can check it out for you and make sure the dot size is within spec. You can reach them at 1-800-426-0048. Let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks! -Sam |
