Q
Gary, guest, from CA, United States, asked on November 28, 2018

Can you use a magnifier with Vortex Spitfire AR and if not why not

Featured Answer
A
Answered by Mark A, member, from MA, United States, on December 14, 2018

You can but it would not be practical and you shouldn’t with any prism scope. Since this is a scope, you need to adjust the aperture to your eye. If you use a magnifier, you need to adjust the aperture again and then magnifier. This is a slow process and defeats the purpose. If you really need a magnifier, you are better served getting an 1-4 adjustable scope or a 3x prism with a small red dot. It would cost and weigh about the same and more effective.

Q
DAVID, guest, from PA, United States, asked on July 26, 2018

will this optic work on a fixed carry handle rifle when used with a Mounting solutions plus M4 carry handle mount?

Expert Answer
A
Answered by Armando R., Gear Expert, from IL, United States, on February 08, 2019

It will not. The issue with this set up is the Vortex Spitfire is a prism optic which means it has a 3.8 inch eye relief. This means your eye has to be right around 3.8 inches from the rear lens to be able to fully see through the optic. The Mounting Solutions Plus mount places the optic farther forward than 3.8 inches which means you will not get a full image through the Spitfire.

The mount on the Spitfire AR Prism red dot will NOT work with any other mounts. The mount/base cannot be removed.

is there a lower mount made for this so that it could be put on a bolt action rifle

Expert Answer

Answered by Hunter, Gear Expert, from OH, United States, on September 19, 2022

There is not a lower mount for the Vortex Spitfire 1x-AR Prism Scope. However it could be used on a bolt action rifle if it has a picatinny scope base.

Q
Damon, guest, from MS, United States, asked on April 12, 2022

I have an astigmatism so most red dots don't work for me. Anyone with an astigmatism have any experience with this optic?

Expert Answer
A
Answered by Hunter, Gear Expert, from OH, United States, on April 21, 2022

The Vortex Spitfire 1x-AR Prism Scope is a good choice for individuals with astigmatism. The Vortex Spitfire 1x-AR Prism Scope has an etched reticle that can be used without illumination. The lenses also help prevent distortion of the reticle typically seen when looking through non prismatic red dots.
