    New Vortex RDS

    Haven't received today's newsletter yet, but according to an Insta post from the 5th, Vortex should have a new Aimpoint-ish RDS out today.
    Has anyone seen anything? I don't know how to post the photo (waiting for the firing squad... any minute now...) so here's the disembowled link.

    P.S. I debated asking this in either the Korgs130 thread or the C4IGrant threads since they were already discussing Vortex optics.

    7000 hour battery life? That's pretty weak compared to their competition.

    But is it going to be priced like the competition?
    AQ planned for years and sent their A team to carry out the attacks, and on Flight 93 they were thwarted by a pick-up team made up of United Frequent Fliers. Many people look at 9/11 and wonder how we can stop an enemy like that. I look at FL93 and wonder, "How can we lose?". -- FromMyColdDeadHand

    What does this do better than the Primary Arms red dot with 50k hr battery life for $169.

    Probably about the same as a PA micro dot.

    I would hope be more durable. Honestly though, the MRO looks better and better

    bam. Primary arms/Holosun copy. Been using it for over a year. Same battery, auto off, touch to turn on. Comes with two mounts

    Less than $120

    Nothing against PA, but I'd happily choose the Vortex offering out of all of the others. I just hope that it uses micro mounts.

    I would have said that too but I just got pa latest advanced micro for 150 with a lifetime warranty and i am pretty impressed by it for the money. Then on black Friday I got another one for 70 on their blemishes sale.

    It is not my mro or t1 but for a second tier rifle they work great

    New Vortex RDS

    291 days isn’t bad. I’ve had good luck with a PA 1-6 LPV, but have zero experience with their RDS. I’ve had a gen 1 Vortex Spark that keeps ticking even after some not so nice treatment. Not serious abuse though. At the MSRP of 219 this will probably sell under $200 once the new wears off. It looks like one more affordable RDS from a reputable company. Can’t complain about that too much.
