Sig Sauer, Vortex, or Primary Arms?
any one better than the other? |
|
People like primary arms. They are chinese made, with a limited (1 year?) warranty. Some people have broken them, others love them.
Sigs is made in China also, perhaps the same factory as the Busnell and other lower end ones that share the design. Not good things to say about them from most who got them free with a 556. Vortex, china again, but at least built to a mfr spec as they design their own stuff, and has a limited lifetime warranty. Of these, I'd go Vortex. |

Just picked up a sparc here Love it.(had it in 2 days) Vortex's it breaks will fix or replace it warranty was a big factor. I am very happy comes with pretty much any mounting solution you can need. 1/3, absolute etc. If you have any questions PM me. There is a review here some were. The guy froze it left it in water shot it on .22lr- ak-47's etc. It held zero etc. That sold me on it.
Here is the review |

The Bushnell has an advantage with the 3000 hour battery life. The only common major complaint with them is the non-removable base. Not really in the same poor class as Sig. |

The Bushnell is rated up to 3,000 hours. All our current models are good for a 1,000 hrs at a usable medium setting. Comparable battery life and we offer two with a removable base. They are built to our specs and we are constantly upgrading to make them better.
We also stock the Vortex SPARC. Night Vision compatible and auto shut off are nice features to have. It includes the mount so figure that in when comparing prices. Marshall |
| For a "cheaper" sight the SPARC isn't bad. The reason I bought it over some of the others was because of the 2 moa dot and NV compatibility (I had at one point toyed with the idea of taking it on my next Army field trip). The other nice thing is Vortex's customer service, the original unit I bought had some issues, they had me send it back and replaced it very quickly with no problems. |
