Where are these made? USA or?

Answered by Upset Customer, member, from CA, United States, on January 17, 2023

Mine has a “MADE IN CHINA” sticker on it. Pretty disappointed since the msrp on the dang thing was close to $600

Is the glass etched ?

AI Answer

Answered by OpticsPlanet AI, on October 15, 2026

Yes, the reticle is etched into the glass, which is why it remains visible even if the illumination is off or the battery fails.

Will this hold up on a 45/70 rifle?

Expert Answer

Answered by Ethan, Gear Expert, from IL, United States, on September 14, 2022

The Vortex Spitfire HD Gen II 3x Prism Scope will hold up to recoil on a 45/70 rifle. This optic features a AR-BDC4 Reticle which was specifically optimized for the 5.56 cartridge and would not translate to 45/70.

Darin, guest, from OR, United States, asked on April 03, 2022

Do they make a QD mount for it?

Expert Answer

Answered by Hunter, Gear Expert, from OH, United States, on April 12, 2022

The Vortex Spitfire HD Gen II 3x Prism Scope uses the Aimpoint Footprint. So the Vortex Spitfire HD Gen II 3x Prism Scope could use a QD mount that uses that mounting footprint. The mount at the link below should work.
