@VortexOptics With the Vortex Venom and Viper mini red dot sights discontinued, are there plans to release an adapter plate to fit the new Defender red dots to the Spitfire HD Gen II 5x top mount interface? I have found an aftermarket plate from EGW for the RMR footprint, but nothing for the Delta Point Pro footprint. I'm wanting to make all future mini red dot purchases Vortex Defenders instead of Holosun.

I know I am resurrecting the dead on this thread here but is this still a thing? I couldn’t find anything on the website but are there plates made still to allow use of the defender red dots on the spitfire?

I reached out to vortex and they sent me an adapter plate that would work with any of their defender line and the new venom enclosed optics.
