These are so 2015

This thing is kind of a turd. Literally the only optic I've ever sold, low or high end.
If you want a 4x tank on a cantilever mount that identifies as a featureless 1x RDS, this is your optic.

Same. I tried to sell mine and got no hits so it sits collecting dust. Outdated tank of a dot. Way better options with bigger windows and smaller profile.

No kidding. Good to know. I got it cause it was so cheap.

Theres a few options for similar price and much smaller form factor.. sig romeo5 comes to mind, and it has shake awake. Vortex makes the crossfire that can probably be found for about $50 more.

I got one of these for like $60 from PSA awhile ago and they canceled the order. That was about the price I'd pay for such an outdated dot, and only that much for the vibes. If they updated the emitter to a modern, more efficient one and added shake awake, this would be worth $100 to me, maybe even $120.

Needs a QD mount so you can beat someone with it if your rifle malfunctions, really puts the bang in tap, rack, bang.

This was one of my first red dot when I got into guns. I'm surprised Vortex hasn't updated it or outright discontinued it considering the competition in that price range.

This has been its sale price for about a month now. Imagine Black Friday it might actually go on sale sale.

Closer to a year. On one hand these things are built like a brick shithouse. On the other, they weigh more than aforementioned brick shithouse. a

Anyone know if these have PWM flicker like the Sparc AR does?

Yes this one of the optics of all time, but damn does it look good on a carry handle.

This dot is the definition of a bland “okay”. It’s one of the RDS’ of all time. It exists.
It’s bulky for sure, but it was cheap enough, feels sturdy enough, and it turns on and holds zero.
Could do better for the same price, could do worse.
It lives in my spare parts bin, not worth enough money to sell, but not really nice enough for me to slap onto another build for more than a month or two before I buy the optic I actually wanted for it.

I had one a decade ago; funny how much has advanced even since then. I felt like this was Vortex' way of saying to the Aimpoints, etc of the world: "We could probably do what you do at 1/6 of the price". Now Vortex makes stuff for the high speed guys just like the big boys.
When I bought mine, it was the same size as my CCO, I could afford it, and it did almost everything (except for NVG setting) that my M68 did. I didn't bash it around on rocks, but I didn't baby it either. It worked fine for me.
