Cannot be beaten for the price - Vortex Spitfire HD Gen II 5x Prism Scope

Given the mix of low weight, clear glass, 5x power, and nice reticle design I highly recommend this optic. Most if not all other fixed prisms in the 5x range are heavier, although this one sacrifices f.o.v. for that weight savings (it also does not have daylight bright illumination) On top of all this it's very small which is a definite bonus. I am primarily comparing owning this to my Steiner S432 which while it has excellent glass and good illumination, was very heavy and bulky, and had a less than stellar reticle design. The Steiner, while it had night vision compatible illumination settings (which this one doesn't), had a very poorly placed illumination dial, the buttons on this optic are easy to press as in they have a definite click (slightly better than the buttons on my Eotech 512)

Unfortunately I don't have first hand experience with the Sig Bravo line, Browe, Steiner T-series, or ACOG's i.e. the other 4-5x fixed prism options on the U.S. market.
