I have one of these coming in in about a month. I'll write up a detailed review when it's in

Anyone by chance know if the sight window is about the same size as the Hartman MH1?

I also wonder if that is where they got the idea about the USB cable input.

I really want a holographic sight but refuse to go with EOTech due to the stuff they pulled (or covered up) in the past.

I hate complex reticles on a RDS. Eotech never worked well for me, always preferred AP. That said, I get that a lot of people are the opposite of me, there.

I think it would have been really neat if instead of USB port, a solar panel was used. Gimmick-ish? Well so is a damn USB port. The solar panel would just be a "passive".

Regardless, I think this will be a hit. Vortex has put out some real quality gear in its price-point in the last few years.

I think Vortex has chomped up quite a bit of the market, especially in the last few years. I'm not sure a panel would work anywhere near as well with the holographic style optics due to increased power usage. If this optic hits the mark, the rest of the industry is going to have to really take notice. On another board people were crying about the price saying it should be under $200, then they would buy one. Thankfully Vortex has NOT gone after bottom feeders with this optic, as the market is ready for something better.

Lithium ion prefer to be fully charged as much as possible. While there is some damage caused by over charging, modern electronics feature auto shut off and trickle charge. Leaving a dead lithium sit over night is worse than leaving it plugged in for a month, no doubt.
