This is a review of the Vortex SPARC red dot sight. The Vortex SPARC is a small red dot sight that rivals the Aimpoint H1 or T1 in size and features yet costs substantially less. I test the Vortex SPARC for accuracy and durability in this review.

  • Quick detach mount available?

  • @DaytonaRoadster I'm not aware of any.

  • I have a DPMS upper with a fixed front sight and a flat top rear. Will the high mount clear the front sight?

  • @Azcodito The front sight will be pretty much centered in the field of view, by design. It's called "cowitnessing" and it is done so your iron sights can be used as a backup should your red dot sight fail.

  • Nice Review. How Clear/crisp is the dot? Some of the cheaper sights the dot is grainy and or fuzzy looking and not crisp.

  • @DickWheels

    Almost all of my sights are a bit "fuzzy" around the edges including my Comp M2's and even my EOTechs. It depends on the setting I'm using. If it's too bright, I see fuzzy edges. If it's set to the appropriate brightness for the surrounding environment, they all look fairly crisp, including my Vortex sights.

  • I'm trying to decide if I should buy this optic or a Aimpoint T1. I shoot 3 gun matches and etc but it's not like I'm in the dustbowl or anything so I'm trying to decide if it's worth the cost difference or if I should save the money on the optic and just buy lots of ammo.

  • @rickyb31980 its basically the same mount as the H1 or T1

  • @DaytonaRoadster any quick detach Aimpoint mount for T1 or H1 series will work

  • KORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRNNNNN!!!

  • @DaytonaRoadster American Defense Manufacturing is suppose to have a qd mount for a Sparc.However I am not sure of a model number.

  • What would the advantage of the arc be over the strikeforce? I'm guessing size? One thing i can think of is the lens covers, seems the strikeforce would be more weather proof?

  • Any idea if this would hold itself together on a 12 gauge?

  • I was interested in an ACR, and I remember the manufacturer saying that they would only cost $1500 or maybe less, but when I recently looked it up, I discovered that those Bushmaster ACR's are ridiculously expensive. The SRP is like $2600-$3100, and the lowest retail price is $2000-$2500!!!

    Whats worse is that there have been issues, and although they will be eventually ironed out, I just cannot see dumping 2k on an early model, when the later models will be better and probably much cheaper!

  • You like the word "optic" dont you...j/k Thanks for the review

  • What is battery life on this sight?
