    Does anyone have any experience with these? Ive been checking them out online and they seem to get some good reviews. Was thinking of getting the Sparc or the Strikefire to throw on the AR

    I have a Sparc on my AR and a Strikefire on my AK. Lifetime warranty, accurate, great battery life, NV capable, no real complaints so far.

    I've had it for about a year and can't remember where I got it from. Both the units still have the original batteries.

    I won a pair of Vortex Fury binos in an online contest and I love them. I was so impressed by the quality for the price that I ordered a Strikefire for my AR build. It should be here next week and I can't wait to try it out.

    I have a stikefire on an AR, its a good piece and does what it should without fuss. I like a bit more field of view than it gives me, but the Eotechs have probably spoiled me in that area.

    Love Vortex and the family (Father/Son). The glass is crystal. I just picked up a set of Viper HD Binoculacrs. Buy what you want from them, if you are not satisfied ( FAPUGRUNT only) I will buy them off you. Always happy to convert another person.

    I actually just picked up the Strikefire combo deal that Primary Arms had for a Black Friday special.. It came with a PA 3x magnifier and I plan on taking it to the range tomorrow and give it a run.. Looks like it is built pretty solid..

    I use a magnifier on my eotech and it works great, with a nice flip to the side mount you will really like it.

    I wish that deal was available when I bought mine. The 2x magnifier that comes with the Strikefire is pretty bad.

    Not to derail here, but there's a Vortex scope for sale at Cash America on S. Navy. I didn't notice what model, it had a mil bdc reticle. Looks new. Call 'em up
    to check the model... It looked alot like a Nikon.
