VORTEX Spitfire Gen II HD 5x Prism Unboxing 

Shoutout Dave, what a homie. We all need a dave in our life for real

Update, I just took mine to 1000 yards in only 3 shots. Impacts were easy to spot and correct for.

Yoooooo! Congrats on 20k brother!

C_DOES, looks like you got hung up on “Anyhoo” the same as I did in my video comparing my ACOG & Accupoint! 😂 Thanks for another great video, and thanks to all the supporters for sending stuff in. Ah yes, there’s your old TR24 you’ve told me about. Love the Accupoints!

My lightest set up Leupold 1.5-4x Fire Dot SPR on Scalarworks mount. Right below 16oz. Good for 450yards and in.

wow great video I have to in one to get a better look (Thank you so much)

I love my 5X. I use a PA T1/T2 mount to move the optic back and an EGW mount to piggyback my Holosun/RMR. The RMR is the perfect height and position for NVG and the optic focuses well for magnified NOD use. I think this starts to compete with the ACOG on price and features alone, even if you have to get another piece or two. As for the piggyback, due to the height, I’d probably zero it at 75-80 yards. This allows the dot to shoot within a 6” oval out to 230 yards. That gives you a coarse sighting system that is easy to use in a pinch and another for identification for more precise shots with the BDC. The BDC shoots a tad high with M193 so slightly lower pressure .223 will match nicely with the BDC. As for the eye box issues, this may sound like a strange cope but a tight eye box might increase precision because it doesn’t allow your head to move enough to induce large parallax shifts.

I like prism! I need more prism! I have a small game hunting setup with an athlon 3x prism on top of a chiappa little badger. The simpler the better!

Would love to see a trijicon acog review.

I’ve got the venom on my TX22 comp. It’s been great.

Lens covers don't dangle, they attach to the battery compartment.

That’s kinda dope. Especially if aftermarket mounts are available

How would you rate this compared to the primary arms 5x? Love your videos btw

I ended up liking gen1 more model although it was bulkier. 0.5MOA adjustment, better reticle and comes with green illumination option.

I have it, quite happy with it, only thing, you need to take of the mount and put some blue locktite on the screws, the way it's fixed from the factory, it will get loose during shooting.

Does anyone make a quick detach mount for this?

Great review, as always. Alittle tip an old electro-optician thought me is to use a flashlight to look into the front objective, to search for specks of dirt and grime. as this can influence the quality of the light transfusion, and gives an indicator of what quality standards a factory has. Id also like to know the real exit pupile of optic, as they can hide bad quality glass by cheating the size of the exit pupile.

Great review as always. Please see if you can get Mike from Swampfox to send over a Saber 5x to compare to this. I love my Trihawk and think 5x would be a nice option.

Pew Pew Anywhooo!!

Do you really need to put a red dot on top of the Spitfire 5x ? Is the 5x to much for up close?

I do not agree with you battery compartment issue. Why open it in the "Woods" unless its dead.... so if you loose it .. who cares. 2nd the ones with the spring are a PITAss to get the battery out, usually you need a tool like a small screwdriver, which means you have to keep one in you kit, and use it to PRY battery out, risking damage to your optic. So I think this is the preferred battery compartment method.

Great video, Anywho...

Just picked this up with the venom for under $400 via PSA 🎉❤

I want PA to make a micro 5x. Their 3x seems great but I think I need more mag

$450?!? Wow i lucked out with psa. They had for 200 about a year ago now. Had too mount the venom on there too! Im loving it so far ❤

I've been thinking about getting a magnified prism to replace my red dot and magnifier but a lot of people say the red dot + magnifier is more useful all around.

1 MOA clicks is oddly coarse for modern optics, I get it for 1x, but 5x?

over all I liked this x5 but the eye relief was so bad, I couldn't begin to get the scope far enough back to make it work.

Of the various prism optics I’ve looked through, the only ones I’ve actually liked have been various ACOGs and the SIG Bravo3 and 5. On the rest, the field of view and glass on the rest have just been disappointing.

Is there any other brand red dots that will fit the vortex 5x? I like the holosun but not liking the vortex red dots.

I love my Swampfox Tomahawk 1-4x Gorilla BDC.... I'd love to see you review one.

45 degree red dots are far superior if you’re not running night vision.

Sorry apart from the fact...great vid and review. Do Americans have their electricity lines above ground? That is so weird.

I had the 3x Gen II prism and absolutely hated it. It seemed like a great scope, but in execution is was just awful. The reticle was too small, and the eye relief was very bad. The ACOG is 100% better, and I sold the prism and got a TA-11 that I’m extremely happy with.

I’ve considered this optic. But being stuck with that red dot mounting footprint is a no go for me.

Currently going for 199.99.......

Eye relief sucks.. but it holds zero🤷🏾‍♂️

🇺🇦👍

Not impressed with this optic compared to the SLx. All the dials and adjustments and rubber seal connections seem cheap. The battery cap seems cheap. The ocular adjustment seems cheap. 1moa per click at 5x is absolutely terrible.

Anywho is what uncool people used to say in the 80's.

Great review but PLEASE stop saying “any who”!

steiner is way better

He had to bring religion into this (7:11) and use the name of the Lord in vain...

why the hell do you speak so slow?
