Just mounted a Vortex Sparc on my 556, hopefully Ill be able to zero it soon. It seems nice so far, I don't like absolute co-witness (prefer 1/3) but the mount wouldnt work for 1/3, just absolute. I mounted it with the tall riser, and it looks great. The 2x doubler is a nice bonus for zeroing and general stuff.
Overall it's pretty nice for under $200 shipped. Only down so far is that it shipped with a dead battery, so I have to buy some spares. |
| I had a sparc on my 556 for about a year and never had any trouble with it. It was the only red dot I could find that would actually co-witness properly. Like an eotech, it is easy to hit the NV button and kill the battery when you think it is off. I have since taken the sparc off my 556 and gone with a Leupold 1x4. I'm getting to old. David |

i mounted a Burris speed dot (3MOA) and co witnessed perfectly with the factory irons.
http://www.burrisoptics.com/speeddot135.html ended up running this instead. nothing wrong with the SD just had a 332 in the parts bin and liked it for an all around optic. http://www.burrisoptics.com/ar332.html |
