Hey guys,
does anyone have it? How is it? It is half the price that costs an eotech for example and even less as an aimpoint. Is it worth the money or is it just crap? |

I have one. I originaly bought it to go on an ak with an ultimak but it would not co-witness. Now it is on a dedicated 22 upper. I have read good reviews on them. I like that the mount comes with spacers so you can mount low, perfect, or lower 1/3. It also came with a screw on magnifier but i dont use it. Mine has worked great. About 100 rounds through an ak, and 1000 through a suppressed 22 upper. I did have a problem with it turning off while shooting, but it turned out the battery cap just needed to be real tight! No other problems. Oh, one other cool feature is when you turn it on it will be on what ever setting you left it so you dont have to keep pushing a button to get it bright. I would like to shoot it more on something other then a 22 to see how it holds up. Maybe it will co-witness on an mp5...

When I first got my SPARC I was having issues with the elevation adjustment. After some testing, I figured out that the retention screws that connect the actual scope to its riser were too tight and thus prevented adjustments from taking effect.
The red dot itself is easy to see and its various brightness settings have worked well so far on various range conditions, and it holds zero very well. The power button does not seem to be centered under the rubber casing, but once you figure out its exact positioning on the SPARC it is a bit easier to toggle on/off. It is a decent scope of the money, just be careful during the mounting process. |
| I have one and love it. Bright and holds a zero well in all the beating I have given it after probably 1000 rounds or so. The only problem I have with mine is to power it off I have to hold the power button probably 30 seconds or so to get it to go off. No problems coming on though. |

| Great little RDS for the money. I just ordered on for my new build. What really sealed the deal for me was the torture test one of the staff over at weaponevolution.com conducted in order to approve it for duty use. Head over and read the test, really eye opening. |

I've been thinking about picking one up, too, but am really struggling with the decision. I hate to spend $400+ on a optic that I use for fun, but the Aimpoint PRO is hard to say no to. I'm also considering the Vortex Strikefire as the electronics look very similar in a cheaper optic with a more widely available battery.
Hmmm.... Every time I think I'm set I change my mind. |

I'm a Male, but with Female shopping habbits. Once I get something in my head I obsess about it until I pull the trigger. Aimpoint PRO it is. Ordered it this morning.
My gun habbit is why my wife gets to buy whatever she wants. It's a filthy game of give/take. Looks like she's got a go ahead on some new shoes or purses. Oh well. So long as I get my Aimpoint. Hahahaha. |
