They\u2019re becoming increasingly popular throughout the ranges and fields of the United States because they offer easily adjusted optical solutions that work in any light conditions. They\u2019re easier to use for target acquisition and re-acquisition than iron sights and in a world where most shooters will never really try to hit a target past 200 yards, speed matters more than the ability to zero in on a perfect 600-yard shot. With these developments in mind, the Vortex SPARC II Red Dot sight was released to tremendous success. What made the SPARC II such a success in what some would say is a saturated market?<\/p>\n<p><em>Into Vortex Optics red dot sights? Maybe you&#8217;d also like to check out <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunlaserguide.com\/vortex-optics-strikefire-2-red-dot-sight-review\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">our Strikefire review<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Price_is_Nice_for_This_Red_Dot\"><\/span>The Price is Nice for This Red Dot<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>First, it occupies a great space in terms of price. Red dot optics can easily exceed $600 or be as cheap as $20. The inexpensive end of the spectrum surrenders longevity and quality of construction, while the more expensive optics never seem to live up to the added price tag. The SPARC\u2019s <a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2yzxMSO\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">very reasonable price tag<\/a> represents a practical compromise that set performance and affordability above other considerations.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-980\" src=\"https:\/\/thetacticool.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/vortex-sparc-2-review-2-251x300.jpg\" alt=\"vortex sparc 2 review\" width=\"251\" height=\"300\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Lightweight_and_A_Great_Battery_Life\"><\/span>Lightweight and A Great Battery Life<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In a world where things that do many things at a time rarely do any one thing well, the SPARC II weighs in at just a third of a pound and done only one thing \u2013 provide a crystal clear and well illuminated range of vision to the shooter. With a 2 MOA red dot that can be adjusted 10 different ways to meet different light conditions, its battery will last for nearly 300 hours. If you\u2019re looking for a great <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunlaserguide.com\/the-top-rated-red-dot-sights-in-2016\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">red dot sight<\/a> with legs, this is it.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Perfect_Fit_on_Your_AR-15_Rail\"><\/span>Perfect Fit on Your AR-15 Rail<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Unlike cheaper models, the SPARC II finds itself at home on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunlaserguide.com\/best-scope-ar-15\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">rails of AR-15s<\/a>, .22 LRs, .308 Winchesters, and everything in-between. The optic\u2019s ability to keep a centered and true red dot is something you\u2019ll appreciate if you\u2019ve ever gone shooting with cheaper red dots and if you find that you need to adjust on the fly, you\u2019ll be able to do so with a slightly-less-than 1 MOA adjustment knob that gets you back on target. While precision optics\u2019 adjustment systems tend to adjust \u00bc or \u00bd MOA at a time, the SPARC II\u2019s 1 MOA adjustment-per-click is a subtle recognition by the manufacturer that this is a short-range scope that prioritizes speed of target acquisition over all else.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Surprisingly_This_Red_Dot_is_Built_Tough\"><\/span>Surprisingly, This Red Dot is Built Tough<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Durability is something Vortex prides itself on and if you ever find yourself having problems with the scope, their Very Important Promise (V.I.P.) warranty system is there to fix it. It\u2019s a pretty straightforward warranty \u2013 if it breaks, they\u2019ll fix it or replace it free of charge. While I haven\u2019t had to take them up on this offer, other SPARC II customers report that Vortex typically swaps any broken or damaged scopes out in as little as a week. Not bad!<\/p>\n<p>The SPARC II comes with a free riser plate that is exceptionally functional for those who want to retain the ability to shoot off iron sights. If you\u2019d prefer to remove your irons, the scope can also mount easily (and snugly) onto a Picatinny rail. While the mount has some really great functionality and permits co-witnessing with iron sights, it\u2019s also not quite as rugged as the scope itself. It does wobble a bit more than its far more expensive competitors and that could reduce your shooting performance or the optic\u2019s ability to hold a red dot where it needs to be. This isn\u2019t a dig at the sight, it\u2019s a knock against the free mount that\u2019s included. If you want to upgrade the mount with an aftermarket product, that\u2019s perfectly fine and this is still a great option.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span>Conclusion<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The Vortex SPARC II is an exceptionally reasonable option for a red dot sight. Priced <a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2yzxMSO\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">well below the competition<\/a>, this scope does precisely what you want it to do and it does it very well. Sporting a great manufacturer\u2019s warranty and with a proven history of surviving a beating, this is a strong option for your duty rifle, range queen or field gun.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/g2f7jy3-9mM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" gesture=\"media\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Vortex SPARC 2 Review Red dot sights aren\u2019t just found in Call of Duty games anymore.
