Vortex Spitfire HD Reviews

Eye relief is very close. Look before buying

What I like: The glass is very clear, Light weight, compact, reticle is sharp. Vortex warranty. What I don’t like: eye relief is way too close. It’s mounted as far back as possible and the only practical position is not practical. I’m forced into the bladed stance with my neck stretched forward to get the clear view, which is only marginally useful at a bench position and still one must lean forward to see. The 5. 56 BDC means I need to calculate the subtensions for ballistic drop (I mounted it on a PCC 9mm) which is fine but I think if Vortex fixes the eye relief- they should have a MOA reticle as well- it would make it more useful for alternate applications beyond 5. 56/. 308. Mine won’t get used- which means I won’t get to test the warranty either. The MOA adjustment doesn’t have consistent or tactile clicks, which makes over adjusting too easy- and it doesn’t have sub- 1 MOA adjustments which makes it nearly impossible to get a tight zero at 100 yards. While I got a relatively good price on a Prism- it’s a lot of money for an optic that is coming off the rifle and back into the box in favor of iron sights.

Im really hard on my gear. Like really hard on gear, rain, heat, snow I’m out in it. Vortex is always holding strong. My spitfire stoped holding zero and I sent it in, less then 2 weeks later I had a new one at my door the customer service is second to none.
