I mounted this Gem on my AK-47 via a Midwest Industries mount and have never doubted my purchase! It takes a beating (Arizona desert shooting 300+ rounds a day) and remains sharp. In full sun the brightest setting is unnecessary and the lens is clear as a bell. I had a mounting question and was blown away by the speed of customer service and with a LIFETIME warranty how can you lose! 5 stars all day!

I had spent a fair amount of time reading various reviews before buying the SPARC through Vortex's military sales. Most people seemed to have be very happy with it and worst case scenerio it would go back to Vortex. After using it for the last few weeks though I don't see that happening.
The SPARC often gets compared to the similar sized and shaped Aimpoint T1/H1. You will often read reviews saying 'just as good as the Aimpoint'. The fact of the matter is that it isn't, but that is fine. The vast majority of people who use either the SPARC or T1 aren't putting it on their rifle and then marching off to combat. They are putting it on a rifle and taking it to the range or to compeition. So you don't always need the awesome reliability and ruggedness you would need in something that is going to see combat use and you may bet your life on. So for the large demographic of shooters there in the middle the SPARC is a fantastic option at a great price point.

I love my sparc. After over 2000 rounds fired through my ak and its perfect still. This is a great deal for the $. The best thing I could have done to my ak to improve performance. I have it mounted via a UTG quad rail. No complaints from me. I would recommend it to anyone who wants a good red dot at an affordable price.
