Can the top mount take a holosun 507 series red dot?

Expert Answer
A
Answered by Ethan, Gear Expert, from IL, United States, on March 04, 2022

No. The Vortex Spitfire HD Gen II 5x Prism Scope uses an MRDS mounting platform for use with the Vortex Viper and Vortex Venom red dot sight. The Holosun 507 series of dots use the Trijicon RMR footprint and would not be compatible.

RECON, member, from TX, United States, asked on December 07, 2024

Can I use this with a fixed front sight post? Will the front sight post get in the way? Any adjustment attachment needed to elevate it higher?

Manufacturer Answer
A
Answered by Vortex, Manufacturer from WI, United States, on December 12, 2024

The optic can be mounted on a rifle with a fixed post, and overall, it should not be terribly obtrusive. There are several aftermarket risers that could be installed if the user desired a 1.93 - 2.1" mount height, otherwise!

Eduardo, member, from CA, United States, asked on September 15, 2023

will this work well with m&p ar10 308???

Expert Answer
A
Answered by Ethan, Gear Expert, from IL, United States, on September 18, 2023

The Vortex Spitfire HD Gen II 5x Prism Scope will work with your M&P-10. However, the BDC reticle was specifically designed for 5.56, not .308. This just means the BDC will not be entirely accurate to your rifle. You will have to use different holdovers from what the BDC displays.

The Vortex Spitfire HD Gen II 5x Prism Scope MRDS Mounting platform will fit either the Vortex Venom or Vortex Viper. The sight that you use is more of a personal preference.

Q
Armando, member, from NC, United States, asked on June 25, 2022

Would the Vortex Spitfire HD Gen II 5X Prism scope suitable for an AR and for an AK?

Expert Answer
A
Answered by Hunter, Gear Expert, from OH, United States, on July 13, 2022

The Vortex Spitfire HD Gen II 5x Prism Scope can be used on an AR or AK. However, the Vortex Spitfire HD Gen II 5x Prism Scope AR-BDC4 reticle is calibrated for use with 5.56x45mm ammo. So the holdovers may not be accurate for the 7.62x39mm ammo in an AK.
