Anyone here have experience with the Vortex Spitfire? I'd never seen one before and picked one up at Cabela's. They had them on sale for $300 and I had a $30 off coupon, a $100 gift card from work and enough Cabela's bucks on their Visa card that my out the door price was $0!
It has two concentric rings around a dot and you can switch between red or green. But the thing that really drew me to it was it's a etched glass reticle so if your battery dies, you're still in business. Anyway, I mounted it on my 458 SOCOMM so we shall see if it holds up. It's got a lifetime warranty and I have zero dollars invested so I probably can't go wrong. I'll switch it to a 223 if I have to use the warranty. It will be awhile before I can get to the range to try it out as my wife was recently diagnosed with breast cancer and tomorrow she goes in for surgery. As soon as that heals up then it's chemo, then radiation, then reconstruction.
