The Vortex SPARC Solar Red Dot 2 MOA is manufactured to the exceptional standard that you would expect of a Vortex product with Lifetime VIP Warranty. Aircraft Grade Aluminium is the name of the game here, leaving you with an incredibly tough Sight that can withstand a great amount of abuse, backed up by a no-nonsense Lifetime Warranty. The main party trick of the SPARC Solar is the large Solar Panel on top that will operate the Red Dot of the Sight wherever possible, switching back to the Battery when not enough Solar Power is available. This leaves you with an approximate 150,000 hours of Battery Life when using both solar and batteries.
The SPARC Solar is equipped with a Motion-Activated shut-down which will shut off the Sight after 14 hours, switching on again next time movement is detected. If you want to turn this feature off you can, by simply holding down the "-" button for approx. 5 seconds.
As for actual performance, the Vortex SPARC Solar does not disappoint, with a precise 2MOA Target Dot that can be adjusted as far as 100MOA, with 1MOA graduation, and of course, unlimited Eye Relief. The Target Dot can be set to one of ten Daytime Brightness Levels, or one of two Night Vision Brightness Levels, allowing you to use a Night Vision Device with your Sight. As you would expect, this Sight is also Waterproof, Shockproof and Fogproof thanks to Nitrogen Gas Purging. To make adjustments to the Target Dot simply use the included tools to turn the external Elevation and Windage Turrets. Included in the box is a Low Profile Mount for 20mm Rail Systems, as well as a Lower 1/3 Co-Witness Mount, so that you can align your Red Dot Sight neatly with your Backup Ironsights without covering the Target Dot completely. Also included in the box is a Lens Cleaning Cloth, Lens Caps, CR2032 Battery, 20mm Mounts and appropriate tools.
As with all Vortex Optics, this Sight is covered by their VIP Lifetime Warranty, which is a no-nonsense Warranty that will replace any damaged Sight (including damage caused by BB hits), provided the damage wasn't intentional. No receipt is required, simply hand over a damaged Vortex Sight to receive a new one. This makes them an excellent investment, as they will quite literally be a Sight for life, holding their value exceptionally well.
