I was juggling which red dot to purchase for my first AR. I use Vortex scopes on my hunting rifles and have som vortex binos, so this brand was an easy choice. The Sparc 2 was discontinued in favor of the Crossfire, I believe, so I was able to pick this up for about half the cost it debuted at, even being brand new. I picked this one over the Sparc because of the battery life. It came with all the accessories to allow flush, normal or a high mount. I set mine up to be an absolute co-witness with my back up sights. I am happy so far and recommend this unit to anyone if you can find it.

The rugged construction and the included multiple hight mounting allows this sight to be used on pistols, shotguns or rifles of most any caliber. This is my second SPARC not counting the one I gave my son for Christmas which he too has been very pleased with his SPARC. This is my first SPARC II as the others mentioned are the original version. Having used both, I would recommend either version. All of mine mounted easily and sighted in quickly. They have all held zero with no problem. Highly recommend if you are wanting a red dot type of sight.

I did a lot of research before ordering this sight. I'm new to rifles and had zero experience. I took my new AR and still boxed Sparc II to a rifle class. My instructor was impressed with my choice and helped me mount it. In two days, I went from never having fired an AR, to hitting 100 yd steel targets. I've only had it on the range one other time, as of this review, but I'm very pleased with its performance... and mine. It's easy to use and the different brightness settings can made the dot really stand out, and also dim it to where you have a very fine point of aim.

I have both the gen 1 and gen 2. They have the same mount. The gen 1 has a separate power button while with the gen 2 you push both the brightness buttons. The gen 2 buttons are a little harder to push, but it's brand new. The package included extra mounts, extra screws and the necessary hex wrench. The gen 2 came with removable flip up covers. There's only a few differences from the gen 1. I loved that sight so much I had to get another one to put on another rifle. Vortex only makes the gen 2 now, but it should be just as good, maybe better. It's a great sight for the money, especially for on a defensive carbine. You'll have a hard time going wrong with this sight.

I can't believe there are only nine reviews for the SPARC II on ebay... Very clear glass; the dot get plenty bright for full sunlight...but at the lower power settings, it gets very small; and of course you have the Vortex warranty...which is worth a lot IMHO. My only "complaints" are 1. it's a bit bigger and heavier than some of the other budget micro dots (e.g., the TRS-25 and the various Primary Arms models) and 2. because the emitter is at the bottom of the optic (i.e., at about "6 o'clock"), it's not quite as easy to get a co-witness with irons sights on some rifles.
