Get on target quickly with the 1×22 SPARC SolAR Reflex Dot Sight from Vortex Optics. Building on the success of the original version, this model gets an upgrade with the addition of a solar panel and the Auto D-TEC system, which measures the available ambient light and automatically switches between solar and battery power as needed—pushing the runtime to a staggering 150,000 hours. Utilizing a simple 2 MOA red dot reticle, this water and fogproof sight offers fast and accurate target acquisition with multiple brightness settings, including two that are night-vision compatible. The SPARC is designed specifically for use on AR platforms with two mounting options provided.
