I bought a Vortex Sparc two weeks ago during the sale at PSA. I finally got to shoot it yesterday and I was very pleased. Right out of the box it was dead on at 25 yards. I am not sure if this was a fluke or not but shooting a quarter sized group with out adjusting it was awesome. The only other optic I own is a Eotech 512.

I have been using a Sparc for over a year now. I am very pleased with it so far and will continue to use it till it breaks and when it does break I am glad the Vortex has a no BS warranty.

I've had about 5k rounds or so down range with my sparc. Still holding zero, original battery.

Would like to try the new sparc 2 or maybe even the strike fire 2..the 22 AR needs something..

As a result of this thread, I just ordered one to put on my 7.62 x 39 upper. Paid $128.49 with shipping.

Awesome! That's about what I paid with shipping from PSA. I"ll be buying another for my 870 for hunting. The 2x magnification should be a big plus for that application

I actually ordered mine from PSA after I saw this thread.

Good to hear. So many companies have shitty customer service these days it's refreshing to hear good things about a company.

The sparc is a great mid-level RDS for sure! Held zero through 700 rounds / carbine class very well. I did finding myself tightening the screws on the riser every now and then but I was very happy with it.

I keep looming at these and I can't really say no! Especially after buying a strike fire~

Using one on my select fire PDW in my current job in Middle East for 3 months of 6 month job---so far so good.

I'm considering a SPARC II. Anyone had any experience with this one?

I've played around with the sparc and strikefire one and my only complaints were addressed in the second gen models. If I can't find a good Black Friday deal on a mepro tru dot or aimpoint pro I might grab a strikefire 2.

I'll be able to review for you all the StrikeFire II in just a couple weeks. The rifle i won from Gunstruction includes it and is off to BDL Custom Finishes. They should have it done right quick and I should have it here to test in just a couple weeks more.

Yep, I won it back in August. It was the Gunstruction Build it Win it design competition. They just sent all the parts off to BDL Custom for the camo job. Some of the parts were back ordered.
