This summer got a a Vortex SPARC for my BCM Middy with the intent to eventually upgrade to a higher end red dot. This is my only AR and I shoot 4 or 5 times a year right now. Other than that I have it for home defense/SHTF. *As It turns out, I really like the SPARC. *It's small and light, with a descent battery life. *I really like the 2 MOA dot and so far I've had zero problems. *The life time warrantee is a big plus as well.
I think I understand the advantages of the higher dollar red dots, but it seems that if I make a move to an EOTech or an Aimpoint I sacrifice*something*(in addition to a big chunk of cash) that I have with the SPARC.*
- XPS (less battery life, only a 2 year warrantee)
- Comp C3 (takes up more rail space, only 10 year warrantee)
- H1 (4 MOA dot,*10 year warrantee)
I am not saying that it is a better red dot than those listed above (if this was a duty weapon there would be no discussion), but I'm seriously considering sticking with the SPARC. *Am I crazy? *Any input would be great especially if you have a SPARC and an EOTech or Aimpoint. * Set me straight, thanks!
