Very few brands would offer Transferable Lifetime Warranty for red dot sights. That said, many Chinese low end red dots are too low quality and unreliable that you’re better off purchasing better brands like Vortex Optics.Īnother great thing about Vortex is its warranty, especially for red dot sights.

Strikefire 2 is a bigger, 4 MOA, switchable red/green dot for fast target acquisition. Sparc 2 is a lighter, more compact, 2 MOA red dot for better precision.

I stopped reading the review and returned to reading for the next optic. When the reviewer reiterated the placement of the buttons, I suddenly remembered that I was left-handed, and it would be a hassle to adjust the brightness from my end. While setting up the optic for a day at the range, the reviewer stated that to be able to turn the optic on, the button had to be pressed dead center and that he had a hard time pressing the button with gloves on.
