Vortex 3x spitfire illuminated reticle -- best deal for price - Vortex Spitfire 3x Prism Scope w/ EBR-556B MOA Reticle

Have received and fired my new Vortex 3x prism illuminated reticle scope and could not be happier. The lens are bright and clear, and the reticle is razor sharp and easily seen day or night. Should the battery go dead a black reticle is clearly seen. Eye relief is a generous 2.8 inches and makes for a comfortable and stable cheek weld (the ACOG has a 1.9 inch eye relief). Unlike traditional elongated scopes, the prism system enables a compact form factor that looks great on the ar15 receiver. The scope appears very sturdy and solidly made with a pleasing look and finish. The knobs turn stiffly with firm clicks. No nonsense fine metal cables and clamps allow the towers caps to be easily removed while keeping them from being lost. The integral scope and mount design eliminates the need for separate scope rings making for a stronger system and reduced cost. Even the spring loaded lens caps are well made and have convenient finger tabs at 4 and 8 o'clock that enable them to be flicked open with pleasing precision. The 349-dollar before incentives price combined with the outstanding Vortex lifetime defect and accidental damage warranty makes the Vortex 3x prism scope a memorial feel good purchase for which one can always be thankful.
