The problem most people face is there is no mid range red dot that can hold up. The SPOT red dot is around $160, but it's not the best quality. Oh sure it gets the job done on an AR just to have for the range, but not much else. Aimpoints, EOTechs and ACOG's are out of many peoples price range. Spending more on an optic then you spent on the upper, or some cases, the rifle, doesn't really appeal to most people, including me. Hopefully this works. If it does, they are going to sell the crap out of em.
I think they will too. And the design appeals to me as in the "lines" it has the looks I'm looking for.
It's kinda of pricey for the turkey shotgun I want to put it on, but like I said it has the look. LOL
Not a huge fan of red dot sights. I honestly never really warmed up to them. I have one on on my service M4 ... however, I'd replace it in a heartbeat if I could.
This does show some promise I haven't seen in the ones we are issued...
I'd take my ACOG any day... given the choice.

I don't know about the doubler allowing precise shooting... it's only 2x and that would make the dot 4moa... (about 4" at 100yds...)
I really like the looks of it, though. SWFA has it on their site for $129... although I don't think they're actually available yet. I'd probably just use it without the doubler, but it comes with everything at this price. New Vortex 1x30 StrikeFire Red Dot 30mm Sight
