Vortex 3×21 Spitfire HD Gen II Prism Scope (AR-BDC4 Reticle)

Description

Cut target engagement time down with Vortex Spitfire HD Gen II Scope units featuring 3x fixed magnification and an AR-BDC4 reticle. Presenting a 21mm objective lens, 1 MOA clicks, and 250 MOA elevation travel, it yields swift carbine handling, though fixed 3x magnification limits close-range room clearing speed inside 5 yards.

Constructed from a single piece of 6061-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum, the prism chassis resists heavy drops while weighing just 9.0 ounces. Premium HD optical glass incorporates fully multi-coated surfaces for true color fidelity through the 21mm objective lens. Waterproof to IPX7 standards and nitrogen purged, this prism scope measures 3.0 inches in overall length with a black finish.

Tactical Recoil Prism Endurance

Built with fixed internal prism elements, internal assemblies endure brutal 1000G shock pulses from 5.56 NATO and .308 Winchester platforms without zero shift. The 1 MOA turret detents track through 250 MOA travel without mechanical backlash. Dry nitrogen purging prevents internal glass fogging across working temperatures from -20°F up to 140°F.

Carbine Receiver Mounting Placement

The integrated base clamps to MIL-STD-1913 Picatinny rails on flattop upper receivers. Tighten mount rail clamps to 20 in-lbs for low mount and 35 in-lbs for high mount spacers. Generous 2.6-inch eye relief protects shooter brow lines while maintaining an expansive field of view.

Practical Operations Maintenance Schedule

The etched glass reticle remains visible even without battery power, providing fail-safe aiming. This fixed 3x prism scope is not engineered for long-range precision target shooting past 500 yards where high variable magnification is essential.

• Check rail mount clamp torque on the receiver rail every 200 rounds
• Clean external optical lenses with a lens brush and fluid every 500 rounds
• Inspect rheostat push-button controls and battery cap seals every 12 months
