Hey guys, im looking for an affordable red dot.  I shoot mainly for fun, so i dont need a $500 optic.  These both seem like solid options.  Has anyone handled both so you can give me a decent comparison?  Thanks

I can only speak of the HD7, although i have heard decent things of the sparc.

The first thing i noticed is the hd7 is very heavy for a red dot. However its built very well as i have already dropped it off the quad and zero is still held. I really like how it uses AAA batteries. The multi-redicles is neat, but not really needed, at least for my use (POI remained the same in my limited testing).

I do like mine and would buy it again, although it might be worth waiting for lucid's m7 to be released.

Also i believe it has a lifetime as long as YOU own warranty. But you might want to check on that.

Can only speak for the Lucid. It is a good unit. I like the auto brightness capability, build is good. As a long time EoTech user, it reminds me of looking thru a hole in the wall, but is a perfectly functional red dot. Use lithium batteries if you get one.

Ive owned and tested both.  I got rid of the HD7 and stuck with the sparc.  It really was not a tough decision.

I have two SPARCs on two different work rifles and I am very pleased. The only thing I would get rid of them for is a T1....

Thanks for the input guys. I decided to go w the lucid. Mainly bc of battery life. Ive heard the HD7 is 1000 and the sparc is only around 150. Thanks for the help.

The HD7 is a good sight. Let us know what you think of it.
