  1. I purchased to burst reacts sites one for my 5 five six River and the other one for my Diamondback ar-10 and I found a base to be very steady and zero was actually very easy to reach with that so I do like the best reaction the stand was just fine to me I know it's all personal.

  2. You need to prep a little better before you come out doing a review so that the info can have more credibility. You seem like you are on some sort of training or high school communications class.

  3. I have both the Burris and the Vortex, both great. Vortex has better warranty. My Burris came with 1 year. Vortex is lifetime of course. I prefer the Burris for cqd, and the Vortex for stretching it out. The exit pupil data is missing on your table. Any time it is not listed, it is an easy calculation. Objective diameter/magnification. In this case 32mm/3x mag= 10.66… which they round down to 10mm on the exit pupil. Same as the Burris, and the equation is verified looking at the data from the Trijicon and Burris given. Thanks and keep up the great work "Matt" lol. Can't wait for the new Jason Bourne movie coming out this year in 2016!

  4. Is the quick detach mount that you got for Burris also compatible with the Vortex? I didn't buy the Vortex because I can't find a QD base for it whereas the the Burris has a QD base specific to the AR-332. Thanks

  5. I have the Burris 536. The factory base does suck because the machining process and angles of the base caused the reticle's cross hairs to be crooked because the sight didn't align correctly when mounted together. The eye relief is short, especially if you're running a buis, you'll be running nose to the charging handle. The added rails have never been used in 3+ years, I took mine off. The outer reticle is too thick for my liking but the BDC is pretty accurate. The glass is clear and most of the time I don't use the illumination. It has held up to carbine courses and decent use. I'd say that I paid about $400 for it through Amazon but with today's prices and optics available, I wouldn't buy it again.

  6. As all three scopes were mounted on ARs, I'm a little surprised that you had no comparison of their accuracy and ease of use. You stated that a Vortex would be in your future, but in a review like this, the viewer wants to know how well they function, not just what the features are. Do you have any comments on how the three scopes compared on the range?

  7. The Spitfire 3x is now listed on Amazon for $286.00 with free 2-day shipping on Amazon Prime. That's very affordable for a medium quality prism site. Seems by all mentions so far that the Spitfire got a lot of things right. The same gripe all around regarding illumination, level 3 and 4 settings seem to be the same with no discernable difference.
