The Original Vortex Strikefire (Gen 1) SCOPE
The original Vortex Strike Fire (Gen 1) is a 30 mm tube red dot sight designed for rapid target acquisition, offering 1x magnification, unlimited eye relief, and a 4 MOA dot. It features red/green dot illumination, rugged construction, and was commonly sold with a 2x magnifier. It has been largely replaced by the Strike Fire II.Key Features and Details:Optic Type: 1 x3 0mm Red Dot Sight. Reticle : 4 MOA dot, available in red/green (older models) or just red.Durability: Waterproof and shockproof.Battery: Uses a single CR2 lithium ion battery, with a battery life of roughly 2,000 hours.Mounting: Uses a 30 mm ring mount, often sold with a high ring for AR-15 co-witnessing.Auto-Shutdown: Features a 6-hour auto-shutdown feature.Warranty: Covered by the Vortex Limited Lifetime Warranty.Common Uses:Platform: Primarily used on AR-15 rifles and other platforms requiring quick, close-range targeting.Performance: Reliable for recreational shooting and hunting, often considered a budget-friendly alternative to brands like Aimpoint.
