Mounted with a 3x magnifier. The 30mm tube gives decent field of view and the emitter sits tucked up out of the way where it’s not a distraction. Cantilever mount is included and looks sharp. Can’t speak to its durability yet. I’ve had a couple cheaper red dots just turn off and on when I start firing but no issues yet. Glass is clear and sharp.
Pros:
- Affordable
- comes with cantilever
- 30mm main tube
- Red and green with adjustable brightness
Would recommend: Yes

The Vortex Strikefire 2 is honestly a solid piece of kit without breaking the bank. Installation couldn't be simpler - just mount it, tighten it down, and you're good to go.
The build quality definitely surprised me - feels sturdy and well-made, not like some of the cheaper red dots that feel like they'll fall apart after a few range trips.
Zeroing was a breeze. Took maybe 15 rounds to get it dialed in perfectly at 50 yards. The adjustments are crisp and stay put once you've got them where you want them.
For the price point, this thing is a no-brainer. I'll definitely be picking up another one for my next build.
Pros:
- Ease of installation
- zeroing
Would recommend: Yes

Just received my red dot. There's a scratch on one of the lenses.

This is my 2nd one. Bought the 1st 8 year's ago with the 3x magnifier to go behind it. Both work like advertised and are bullet proof. Never a problem holding zero along with great battery life.

You can't go wrong with Vortex. And this red dot is a testament to that. Get a quality red dot with great accuracy and durability for a low cost.

If you’re a person who believes in Shot Guns. The new opportunity in Bull-pups a Red-dot sounds nice, some come with riser, this is the “BEST” optic I’ve found. Shooting Slugs from 30-50 yards (Home Defense Distances). Super Quality Build, Easy to set & maintain “0”!

Red dot is very easy to use, and works very well. The green dot hurt my eyes when it was on the highest brightness setting, but otherwise pretty good.

This is the second or third StrikeFire I have had. I now have two since I sold one I had mounted to an AK-47.I have had great luck with Vortex optics purchased from Optics Planet. Their customer service is the best I've encountered.
Pros:
- Great quality.
- Great customer support!
Best Used for:
- Personal target shooting.
Would recommend: Yes
