Vortex Spitfire 3X Gen1 review 

I’m a big vortex fan. I’ve been really happy with all their products I own.

I have one on my now-useless AR, great for CQB matches from 15-100 yards, just point and shoot, no messing around with the magnification. I didn't realize you could use the caps to adjust windage/elevation, I feel a little less dumb now! I would add that the service from Vortex is excellent...I emailed them about some screws for the riser that I had lost, they called me within 15 minutes and then shipped them for free!

I've had all manner of scopes etc but my best 5 round group was shot with a 3x vortex spitfire. They are so clear.

I ran mine on my service rifle AR. With the BDC it was great for me as a beginner. And it’s cheaper, AND works with my astigmatism.

lol I was literally looking at 1x red dots to mount on this so it's glad to hear that they aren't needed. I had started to wonder if just getting the LPVO made more sense.

I have been eyeing something like this for big game hunting under 300 yards for a long time. Its between a 1-4 LPVO or this. You mentioned it would be good for coyotes at 100 so might it be good for deer up to 300? What's the eye box on this? Eye relief and parallax effect? Could it work adequately on a more high power rifle? Do you think a 5X with a red dot would be even better for big game hunting?

Do you know what the eye relief is?

You didn't happen to grab that from the Prophet River Vortex open box sale? I had one of those in my cart but couldn't seal the deal. Is it for sale once your done playing with it?

What's wrong with your magazine?

Just picked one of these up Black Friday. Bass pro had em for 199.99, but I had a gift card too lol. Only paid like 70 bux + tax. I like it but I'd have never paid the full 349.99 for it.

Please say power instead of X constantly...LOL
