Re: Vortex Strikefire - Who's tried one?
It's not bad at all. I'm rapidly becoming a fan of Vortex products. I have yet to find one that didn't please me.
While some may nay-say, I've found the Strikefire to be as good as higher-priced red dots. Sure, battery life isn't as long and you can say that it's not as tough but I'm not throwing my AR around and beating equipment that I paid hundreds if not thousands of dollars for to death just for the sake of fun. The Strikefire won't replace the Aimpoints that I already have but I'm thinking seriously about putting it on my next AR.

I've had one for a couple of weeks and gotten in a couple days of shooting. Worked very well.

We have sold a ton of them. If you'd like to try it out and if you're not happy send it back that would be fine.

You CAN go wrong with it!
I had mine die on its first outing. Sent it back, got a new one (good customer service) that hasn't had the same problem or any other.
I'd call it "decent."
If you want one, PM me, I've got one in a LaRue mount that I'll sell. It works fine, no problems with this one, I just sold the gun it was mounted on.

Box is cleaned out, sorry.
I'll post pics.
Would like to sell it as a package, but might break it up.
Pics coming soon.

Re: Vortex Strikefire - Who's tried one?
I'm happy with the Strikefire so far.
I took the AR with me to the range this morning. I had moved the scope back one notch on the rail, so I wanted to recheck zero.
The first round was check zero and the next four were shot after an adjustment was made.
The 2 MOA dot covers the shoot n see circle at 100 yards, so I thought this was about as good as I could as for.

Oh, and in case anyone's wondering about my backstop.
The UPS shipping boxes are free with a shipper's account.
I modified an old throw away storm door to make a portable target stand. The box fits between the top rails perfectly, and I have uncut pop rivets sticking out to punch through the cardboard and hold it in place.

Re: Vortex Strikefire - Who's tried one?
I have one. It works well like most other red dot sights. Accuracy is a non-issue.
One issue I had was that the factory battery died. After a single range session, I stored it in the safe (off) for about 2 months. On the next try, it was dead and the battery had to be replaced.
It was either a dud battery of some form of flaw. If I see a similar problem in a few months, I will send it back. My bet is dud battery since it includes some kind of no-name-brand OEM battery.
