Vortex Spitfire HD Gen II Prism Scopes

In this video, we take a look at the new line of Vortex Spitfire Prism scopes - both the 3x and 5x models. We then test drive them in a drill and then discuss the benefits, or detriments, of each model.

[@Zbyhonj]

I timed their runs out of curiosity. Russel / Karl 3x scope ... 35.82 sec / 45.43 sec 5x scope ... 34.24 sec / 31.65 sec ...pretty cool and (originally) surprising to me. I realize that a big part of them speeding up on their second run is due to being familiar with the excercise, but still. Being able to actually see your reticle seems to be a definite advantage.

[@commandZee]

I was considering the 3x for my DMR-ish AR but I was waiting on the Primary Arms Micro Prism 3x to come out before pulling the trigger. This is the first time I've heard of the reticle scaling issue on the 3x. Thanks, you probably saved me some disappointment.

Testing the reticule, totally not testing a Desert Brutality stage idea

[@travispollett2120]

My thought exactly when they finished describing the test. Well; that's a new stage at 2GACM and Brutality matches. For Brutality I imagine it paired with multiple targets and variable target engagements much like a few other stages have included. Like 4 targets and 2 spinners and you engage different ones based on whether your rifle and pistol have serial numbers that are odd or even or add up to an odd or even number and which version you get is based on a roll of a dice or something. Something that includes mental stress and choosing targets based on that mental stress. Unfortunately you can't really spin a spinner when you have to move positions between shots; at least as a stage event in a competition that is expecting people to finish the stage (I'm sure there is at least one person who thinks they could spin a spinner whilst doing the Kasarda drill), but, I could easily see having two targets and a spinner and having to alternate between the static targets and the spinner. As in hitting one of the statics, spinner, other target, spinner before going for the first static again.

Perfect timing Karl, my WWSD has a Vortex Spitfire on it becouse of my astigmatism. I've been very curious about the 3X gen 2 for my next build. Looks like I might go with a 5X.

[@jackjmaheriii]

I like the 5x so much I bought two of them and relegated my ACOGs to storage. When you couple it with an RDS (offset not piggyback) it’s so fast, forgiving, and versatile, that it’s hard to imagine that it’s not the future of combat optics. NOTE: One of mine does have a much brighter red than the other, and they definitely seem to prefer lithium ion batteries.

[@andychen12]

TBH ACOG is better. I have both, the eye relief for splitfire 5X is bad...

[@jackjmaheriii]

The eye relief on the 3.5x ACOG is slightly worse than the Spitfire 5x, and the famous 4x is much worse, like 50% worse. If you said, “I like the Schott glass, the brightness of the reticle, and its combat record, and that means more to me than measurable data.” you would have valid criticism. But that is not who you are. You’re a keyboard warrior that does’t own either optic, and I can tell because you said obviously inaccurate things.

[@andychen12]

​@@jackjmaheriii Well, I have a 3x ACOG (TA33), and as an Army Veteran, I know what I'm talking about. There's a reason why the Spitfire 5X was on sale at PSA for $199 last year. That's also where and when I bought my Spitfire, and now I'm considering selling it. I must admit, you're a better keyboard warrior than me :)

[@jackjmaheriii]

There are two families of ACOG 3x, both have shorter eye relief and smaller FOV than the spitfire, so you’re still wrong. “As a veteran…” is an appeal to authority so you’ve also committed a logical fallacy. Also, I’m active duty.

[@gunsgonewilder5058]

I agree, love my first 5x so much I bought a second one. And if anyone out there is wondering, any red dots with the Doctor/Noblex footprint will work atop the 5x. I run a Viper on one and a TruGlo Tru-Tec micro on the other.

[@TheGunner11]

Would love to see how the upcoming PA 3x Microprism stacks up against these. Shame the reticle is so small on the lesser power Vortex, that looks borderline unusable.

[@matthewspeller]

I looked through the 3x in person, you nailed the description at borderline unusable. I'd like to get something similar to the 3x for a 10/22 as I think it'd be a killer combo.

[@brandonreed70]

I'm confused about these "small reticle" comments. The reticle is sized based on the ballistics of the 5.56 round. If it weren't this size, it wouldn't be an accurate BDC. What am I missing?

[@amschind]

I use an old Gen I x3 on my practice rifle (actually a BRN-180 that I got in part due to your endorsement- thanks!), and I find that the illumination helps during the day. Those have a green setting as well, and while I prefer it, I find that either one makes the relatively small reticle easier to pick up on.

[@TheCanadianlongboard]

Awesome video, had a hard time finding a review for this optic

[@EOTechN9ne]

I have the 3x gen 2 mounted on my AK. Honestly the reticle isn't as small as you make it out to be. i can pick up the reticle and the sections in it very easy. If you cant, i suggest a visit to your eye doctor for some glasses. The picture they show in the video does not do it justice. It definitely isn't the same as what you actualy see with your eye. Photos have a way of making things seem smaller than they really are when looking through optics. If you're interested, i suggest looking at one in a shop to see for yourself. I'm very happy with the 3x. I can use it close quarters as well by using my off eye to focus on targets and my reticle eye to project the reticle. Only con I have is the eyebox is abit strict but I have yet to see a micro 3x prism that isn't strict on the eyebox.

[@wesrihn]

Best review on this optic. I went with the 5X because of your review. I opted for a Burris Fastfire 3 for the top. I think the PA Cyclops 3x when it come out.

[@bob445566DE]

I used a Primary Arms 2,5 fixed scope at FB2021. It also has a tiny reticle. It was very hard to zero this optic on paper. But when shooting these unpainted steel targets I didn't even needed the illumination. Targets were very easy to find and hit.

[@andywood6376]

Love it. Pretty sure that reticle is the same one that’s in the Strike Eagle.

[@RT81775]

Glad you talked about the reticle size. I tried the Primary Arms 1x prism (the first version) and found the reticle so small as to be useless beyond just being a blob to superimpose over the target. I have astigmatism even with corrected vision and the reticle was so small that my eye couldn’t focus on it no matter the diopter setting. I think these optic manufacturers are a little optimistic about putting these range-finding, BDC, leading reticles on these low power prisms.

[@randomidiot8142]

Optimistic, but it sells to the crowd that sig thought needed a color coding scheme to match accessories to guns 🤦 on the other hand, what else can they offer for reticles? A simple boring dot? Technically all you need is a 1-2 moa dot. Zero a little high at 100 and you're fine for dot shooting distance. But the market thinks they need a bdc (that's probably not exact) for shooting 25-100 yard paper and steel so they buy stuff like this.

[@derickhoda6679]

The reticle was too small on the gen 1 Cyclops but the gen 2 is perfect.

[@johnnygooch3872]

Plan on mounting a 3x on my Type 81 LMG. Here in Canada we don’t have many options for cool semi’s so I find the 3x perfect for 7.62x39 with a bipod. 25-250 yards the 3x is perfect for the job (given you have decent eyesight). Beyond that distance the reticle would be hard to use given how small it is but the round limits the usable range so the 3x Gen II is perfect.

[@ericmeyers8787]

Good stuff. Any possibility of doing a prismatic round up comparing the new Primary Arms Cyclops and Swampfox to these two with the same testing?

[@doogiehouser5393]

I got the gen 1 three power at bass pro the other day for a steal at only $250. I guess they are phasing it out for the new one. It’s bigger and beefier, but that’s what I like about it. It also has the two Picatinny rails on top at 45° angles. For the money, I was excited to get it. Looking forward to mounting it on my AR and having some fun.

[@getbrainseeds]

i got the 3x and mated it with a monstrum prism magnifier that mounts the opposite as most maginifers and love it, with the monstrum prism magnifier makes the reticle perfect on the 3x

[@stevailo]

I love optic reviews, and you guys make the best, most impartial, concise and practical ones out there. Any update on when could we see a video about the best optics to put on top of the WWSD btw?

[@yurei8368]

I'd assume everything they said in the 2017 mostly still applies. I know Karl's still a huge fan of his Holosun (which is both great and suck; I had a defective Holosun the company absolutely refused to work with me on and it soured me on the entire brand), and the other optics they tested back then were all fine. Frankly I'd mostly just look at their optic reviews, and reviews you trust from other sources on other opticsa, and figure out what works for you. The Stoner guns aren't so different from baseline AR-15s that they need special-snowflake optics, at least not ballistically. Best rifles in their class by a wide margin, but still shooting the same round from the same length of barrel.

[@stevailo]

@@yurei8368 i know, but a lot of optics came out in the meanwhile and I was curious about which one, in their opinion, fits the purpose of the rifle the best. Not because it needs it, just because it complements it well

I like this test a lot. Intuitively the 5x would be much better at the spinner in a static test with its greater magnification (judging it's position while swinging) and the 3x would be better at rapid target acquisition with its greater field of view. This gives more of a real world balance than a single factor test.

I've used the PA prisms extensively and have a 5x Spitfire Gen 2. The Spitfire is much lighter but the glass is fairly comparable. The PAs have excellent glass for the price. I also have owned a TA31 ACOG, which crushes the cheaper optics on FOV but loses on eye box.

[@Xaevryn]

I was looking at the 5x since its currently on sale for $250 but even with the 5x that reticle looks a little too small and dim for me to really use comfortably. I could do it, but it wouldn't be optimal especially when paired with that poor eye relief and my corrective lenses. So thanks for the review! I'll keep shopping around.

[@M1CAustin]

I have the 3x on an X95 and find it to be an excellent optic. Definitely don't find the reticle too small. Personally I find 3x magnification to be perfect for 15 -300 yards if you want to be more precise than with a red dot. With anything more than 4x (Also have an ACOG) closer range performance becomes too limited imo. Yes you can mount the red dot but that adds cost. All depends on the distance you intend to shoot at.

[@GalderIncarnate]

Hah! I just purchased the 5x for my X95 and wound up here for reviews. Nice to know. Edit* It was half off on Palmetto so I couldn't pass it up lol.

Completely agree. I have the 3x spitfire and the reticle is almost completely unusable. The bdc is soooo small I thought there was something wrong with it. Also they should offer a green reticle illumination.

[@matthaught4707]

I've been curious about running one of the 5x models with an offset/45-degree red dot for close work. Would be interesting to see that sort of setup compared to an LPVO or red dot + magnifier combo.

[@chipoc4917]

With the piggy backed RDS, rather than moving from cheek to chin weld, you can simply rotate the rifle just the same as you would for an offset RDS. Rather than looking through the offset RDS with your right eye (assuming right handed shooter), you are looking through the piggy backed RDS with your left eye. The only problem with this approach is the height over bore, which will have a greater effect on POA / POI than you would have with on offset RDS. At close quarters, however, the difference is trivial - unless you're counting on those hostage head shots. Past the point of zero, this starts to become a problem, as the round is drifting and dropping at a very odd curve relative to your sight. But if you zero your RDS out to 50 or 100, all of your quick engagement range targets are going to be within that initial shrinking triangle that goes from about a three inch base at the rifle to a point at your zero.

[@davidhater6035]

They didn't touch on eye relief. Common with prism optics is shitty eye relief and this is no exception here. I found a cantilever for a red dot that I mounted backwards so I didn't have to remove my backup irons, works great. I'd recommend a cantilever mount for the option of eye relief whether you want back up irons or not. And when I say I mount the cantilever backwards most red dot cantilevers move the optic forward but in this case you want it backwards to move it closer. Edit: Also the Spitfire Gen 2 uses the Aimpoint T1 footprint so if you don't like the Vortex mount you can change it just read your manual on height and/or email Vortex they'll help you out.

So small a reticle I would question whether the BDC features are actually usable, exactly as the review here said. For the price asked, I really don’t see a good case for the Spitfire 3x optic. Can’t speak to the 5x. Looking at the side by side footage here the 5x reticle definitely appears better.

Is there a measurable tactical/tactile advantage that a flat trigger gives you over a curved? I have both and can't really tell the difference other than the flat feels heavier/has more finger pad pressure. Eta: Pricing schemes on optics in the same family seem odd. Case in point, vortex lpvo. 1-4, 1-6, 1-8. 200, 300, 400$. I have mostly 1-8 and a single 1-6. The 1-6 is bigger but 100$ less. Is there really 100$ worth of material difference between each one?
