Pros & Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

Only problem is, seating the battery cap with the battery in takes time. Vortex has the best warranty in the business. Long battery life, light weight aluminum body.

Use the brightest part of the comet as the center. Auto brightness works very well between outside and inside lighting conditions.



Cons

Zero in is a struggle at short distance and a shim might be required. The battery is loose in the compartment causing the red dot to disappear after every shot.

Threads/heads make some unusable (screwdriver won't go in because there's metal chunks basically welded into the top). Would not turn on. Why is this still an issue?

Vortex * red dot optic is not up to par. Outfitters charged me additional $37. Is this an amazon scam or is vortex dropping off on quality and qc?

Product is not eligible for refunds, returns, or exchanges. We work our * off to be able to buy these products and to see the above response is truly nauseating. I hurts me to write this review but not every product companies make can be excellent, so...  Read More

Quality


This coupled with the overall ease of use makes it a joy to shoot with


Works great quality made and nice mount


The holes line up fine but the screws that come with the venom are too long and wont tighten all the way down


Im glad they make this lightweight red dot though i wish the quality was better for an optic priced well into the 200 category

Price


For the price you cant go wrong

Shipping


Both times vortex sent me a new optic and even paid for shipping

Competitiveness


In my use case i was mounting this to a springfield armory xdm elite


I really love this sight and don’t hesitate to give it my most enthusiastic fivestar rating


22 and the other on a taurus tx 22 competition


Not sure how the screws fit with other firearm brands but youll need to find new screws or grind them down a bit for them to fi...  Read More

    When the sight was installed the updown adjustment screw did not move the dot


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I was then able to zero the sight


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    This was easy enough but should not have been necessary for a piece of equipment in this price range


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Sight is holding zero after approximately 200 rounds

    If there are further issues this review will be updated


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The slot in the pistol is flat so i had to file the screw mounting holes to allow the bulge to clear enough


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Be aware you might need to file out the mounting screw holes a little to get a good fit


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Down side is that it arrived with a fully dead battery and removing to cover even with a nylon coated tip screwdriver caused quite a bit of the black paint to come off
