Vortex Optics Strikefire II Red Dot Sights

GREAT VALUE FOR THE MONEY!! But then again, it’s a Vortex! This is a 4moa red/green dot optic that can easily be changed for brightness and color! I’m older, my kids mention that way too often now, and given my astigmatism, I prefer the green dot setting but many prefer the red so it’s great to have the option! Sometimes I switch back and forth just to see if I’m actually getting younger? Benjamin Button’s got nothing on me! 😂 Best part is u can adjust the colored dot brightness way down for long range, 100yard+ shooting, the dot is more like a 2moa dot or less, in this setting! Cranker up for close range and you’ve got the best of all worlds! Also night-vision compatible for you “snoopers.” Very accurate optic with 1” groups at 100 yards zero even with my feeble eyes and shelf ammo! Paired this with the UTG Super Slim Flip up front and rear sights, and the Vortex Strikefire II with the cantelever mount can be adjusted on the rail for a lower 1/3 co-witness view with the UTG sights! Obviously your results may differ pending your line of sight on your favorite Gal! Running on a 5.56/.223 Pistol with a 7.5” barrel! She’s tight!! Super easy to install and super easy to sight in, use the smallest dot size setting when sighting in, and remember to shoot with both eyes open! Once you get used to this “both eyes open” style, Target acquisition is super fast and easy even for us old guys! Just remember, OLD GUYS RULE! 😜 Excellent combo and you might want to try the 36/300 yard zero with the 25yard adjusted zero targets for the 5.5" center mass strike zone out to 300 yards. Very impressive and might just become your favorite zeroed yardage? Most shooting ranges accommodate the 25, 50, 75, and 100 yard pins so the 25 yard adjusted zero targets gives you the 25 yard point of aim zero and a 36 yard point of impact zero so you can easily adjust for a 36yard point of impact zero when shooting at the 25 yard pin distance. Not many ranges offer a 36 yard pin so I hope that makes sense for you? Check out Vigilance Elite and ARMA Dynamics for printable targets with caliber details for your shooting range. Watch Shawn Ryan's 36yard zero video and you'll get the picture real quick. Thank you for your service Mr. Ryan! As is so typical of Vortex, this is one great value for the money! Way more features than optics at twice the price, and that extra savings allows for some nice additional mods and extra ammo!! Best of all, there’s the Vortex VIP (VERY IMPORTANT PROMISE) warranty which means that your product purchase is a 100% unlimited lifetime warranty-fully transferable, and no receipt needed. in Vortex’s own words, “VIP stands for a Very Important Promise to you, our customer. We will repair or replace your Vortex product in the event it becomes damaged or defective-at no charge to you. If we cannot repair your product, we will replace it with a product in perfect working order of equal or better physical condition. You see, it doesn’t matter how it happened, whose fault it was or where you purchased it. If you ever have a problem, no matter the cause, we promise to take care of you.” Who does that these days? VORTEX DOES! The only issue is that I didn't get a camo Vortex hat with my purchase as that deal wasn't offered when I purchased the Strikefire II optic. Who doesn't need another camo hat? WAAAAAHH! ;-> God Bless Vortex! Great Products, Great People, Great Warranty, and Great Service! A truly great Company! Drink up me Hearties! YoHo!

Well built clear view worked great

I picked up the Vortex Strikefire II as a present for my son, and it was an instant hit. The optic feels sturdy and well-made, and he really likes having both the red and green dot options to choose from depending on the environment. He mentioned that installation was straightforward and getting it zeroed took no time at all. Once set, it stayed perfectly consistent. The 4 MOA dot is crisp, bright, and easy to see, making target acquisition fast and smooth. All in all, he’s thrilled with it, and I’m really impressed with what you get for the price. A solid choice if you’re looking for a dependable red/green dot sight.

Decent optic, eyebox isnt great.

Really good low budget option for a Close Quarters Combat setup on your Rifle. Vortex had good glass, however where their products fall a bit short is on the inner seals. I know hunters who are out in all kinds of weather conditions. When the seals leak, your unit is toast. For those of us who are not hard core hunters, I still think Vortex makes a really good cost effective product.

This is a great starter optic. I had it scoped and it works great.

Reliable, Clear, and Built Like a Tank! The Vortex Strikefire II is an awesome red dot sight for the price. It’s super easy to mount, sight in, and use. The glass is crystal clear, and the red/green dot options are bright enough for both indoor and outdoor shooting — even in full sunlight. It feels tough and durable, just like you’d expect from Vortex. The controls are simple and responsive, and the battery life is great. I’ve used it on both an AR and a shotgun, and it’s held zero perfectly every time, even after plenty of recoil. Vortex really nailed the balance between performance and value here. Plus, their lifetime warranty gives extra peace of mind. Highly recommend this optic for anyone looking for reliability without spending a fortune.

Half a year of ownership later, and several thousand rounds fired with the Vortex Strikefire II, I’ve moved it to a new AR and will continue relying on it. Swapped out the cantilever ring as well. Decided to review based on my experience! The seller I chose on here was Eurooptic, which is very trustworthy. I do not believe I received a knockoff. The clarity of the sight is enough for firing up to 150 yards, since the dot is 4MOA, it won’t go too far even with a magnifier. Dot is crisp and round. It’s great for close range. I prefer the green dot, since green is easier for the eye to notice and pick up, good for both bright and dark environments. Battery life is quoted by Vortex to be 80,000 hours on brightness 6. That is what I usually set it to, only brighter if the sun is strong. I’m not 100% sure it can last that long, but even if it lasts 40,000h it’ll be so worth it. I still decide to swap batteries once in a while, it’s inexpensive. The build feels sturdy, and the housing is not easy to scratch. It has always held zero. Banging it around can still wear the housing of course, but mine still looks pretty clean. Adjustments are clear with audible clicks. Very simple to sight in and adjust. Would rely on it for home defense.
