Today we’re reviewing the Vortex Spitfire 3x Prism Scope. An advanced “red dot” replacer, this prism scope doesn’t rely on batteries only. It has an etched reticle, which enables you to keep shooting even if you happen to run out of battery power in the middle of a shoot or hunt. The reticle utilizes both green and red illumination so you can choose which you want to use. it features a retention wire for the adjustment caps so that you will never lose your adjustment caps ever again. The construction is superb, and the scope feels like a premium piece of technology. The reticle itself is designed with the 5.56mm cartridge in mind, and has drop reticles all the way out to 500 yards. However, all of these positive features are accompanied by a few dislikes, although moderate. The first dislike of mine concerns the short eye relief of the scope. Only 2.8 inches. That means that you have to get very close to the scope. If you were to use this scope on a higher caliber gun than an AR-15, the recoil may just leave you with a black eye! My second concern is with the weight of the scope. It’s pretty beefy. weighing in at 15.4oz as shown on the vortex website, this scope actually weighs more than the previous dedicated sniper scope I had setup on my AR beforehand. However, those small negatives of this scope are far overshadowed by the positive aspects of it. I give it a 9/10 Highly recommended!

What a queef..
You say you don't like to get too close to the charging handle. A long time ago I was taught that getting close (with iron only back then) helped with accuracy, all else being equal. Thoughts? I ask because I'm on verge of buying Spit 3x. Also, is there a problem if I have the classic front sight "M-16" triangle (non-alterable, non-removable)?
Not the easiest review to sit through, but you gotta give it to the kid for actually making the video. My hats off to you young man keep it up.
Hi, what is the mark of your muzzle? Is look good
Is that a cinder brick mounted on your AR-15 ! ?
You should know the product rather than read-it from a printed sheet from the Vortex site. Still,decent review on something i already have.
Loose the word basically please.
Haha, this kid rocks! He keeps it real and I'll take this dude on my defense team ANY DAY! Thanks for the review!
thumbs up for the sexy ar-15. Its beautiful
Nice job. Only thing I could ask for is a good sight picture through the scope
o_O … Is he running this video in fast foward or is space time warped around him?
Good job on your review.
this just in! vortex offers a coupon for people who watch 2 or less videos of these ball gaggers. damn man. I cant
The kid is correct, sugar can kill you. Highly addictive and deadly.
Wow. A real life try hard….
Did your Daddy buy that for you little boy ?
Awesome vid!Pro tip. Swap that one point sling for a 2 point. In the future when you start running a sidearm, you'll find transitioning much more comfortable. Plus when you have to drop the rifle grab a sidearm and run. The one point in that scenario will slap against your knees and it can be pretty painful
A 2.8 inch eye relief is actually pretty generous when compared to an ACOG or ELCAN, the army actually teach you to put your nose on the charging handle too.
he mixed up his smokes with a helium can
I'm gonna kill myself after that into
The weight is inline with an acog. You’d be hard pressed to find a magnified prism optic or acog style for very much less than 14-15oz unless you went with the compact 3x trijicon but it’s still around 10oz so not much difference in the grand scheme of things
I REALLY wanted to write an asshole post, cause of the intro, but well, good review, thanks!)))
So I realize you said that it's meant for a 5.56 round, that doesn't mean its just for that round right? You can use it for a 223 round? I have a stock smith and wesson mp15, could I keep the iron sight with the scope as well?
Really hope that voice has changed. After 3 years lol
Intro was little weird, but you covered topic well in this video. I wish for some more scope aim camera to see what is like aiming through. Good video, keep it up!
wtf are you doing with a riffle? you don't even look old enough to shave. go back to school and do your work
Thanks for a very good review.
Why do you sound like a twelve year old
I think you need bigger earmuffs.
