User questions & answers

Question:	Does this unit come with the scope caps
Answer:	No, I was worried about the same thing. I was blown away buy the results. No adapter needed and great sound, I have only had them for 2 weeks so not sure about longevity.
Question:	Is the mount included? Pictures show mount but description says nothing about it
Answer:	Need extra adapter.
Question:	Does this scope come with Vortex lifetime unconditional warranty
Answer:	Yes you can hear game chat and party chat.
Question:	on brownells. Why is it 100 more here
Answer:	No. If your sound card supports the 3-channel jack (stereo output + microphone input), it works without an adapter. There is an included adapter that converts the 3-channel jack to a stereo output jack and a separate microphone jack in case your sound card does not support it.

• First focal plane subtensions remain accurate at any range.
• Illuminated reticle eases use in low light and dark backgrounds.

Reticle Focus

The Strike Eagle scope uses a fast focus eyepiece designed to quickly and easily adjust the focus on the riflescope’s reticle.

1. Look through the riflescope at a blank white wall, or up at the sky.

2. Turn the eyepiece fully outward (counterclockwise).

3. Slowly turn the eyepiece focus knob inward until the reticle image is as crisp as possible.

Parallax Adjustment

This adjustment dial is marked with approximate yardages to aid in initial setting and should be matched to the target’s distance. Final focus setting should be checked by moving your head back and forth slightly while looking through the scope and watching for any shift of the reticle on the target (parallax). If shift is observed, the dial should be adjusted slightly until shift is removed.

Turret Adjustments

To make turret adjustments:

1. Pull the Locking Turret dial up/out to disengage the lock.

2. Up/down for elevation adjustments; left/right for windage adjustments.

3. Push the Locking Turret dial down/in to return to the locked position.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this scope really weight 2.6 pounds
Answer:	I didn't really weight it as itself but it didn't add much weight to my gun. My Remington 700 with heavy barrel was heavy already.
Question:	Would this work on a ruger 308 precision rifle? Model
Answer:	I dont see why not. You will need high rise scope mounts though. I have it on a Ruger American 30.06.
Question:	Does this have an illuminated reticle
Answer:	No, the reticle is not illuminated per se...when the illumination is enabled it places a "red dot" in the center of the cross-hairs of the reticle. The red dot is visible in low light situations and will be very hard to see in daylight hours...but very handy for fast target acquisition in low light. Here is a link to their site with a picture. http://www.vortexoptics.com/product/crossfire-II-1-4x24-riflescope-with-v-brite-moa-reticle/reticle
Question:	How is the glass? Sight clarity? Especially when you put it at
Answer:	Excellent for the price. Not going to compare to my Razor HD in glass quality or features, but $200 vs $2500, it's unbeatable value and warranty. I have at least 7 crossfires of different sizes on calibers from 22 to 30 cal. Clarity is good enough to watch the bullet trace from a 22lr hit paper at 100 yards at 24x and see all of the bullet holes. Clarity further out is still quite good as well. I highly recommend them.

User questions & answers

Question:	I'm putting this scope on my AR what height rings and offset would be good for this with a large 56 diameter do I need High rings
Answer:	I bought 1.45 inch rings. Perfect height to retain cheek weld.
Question:	Does butler creeks size 51 scope cover fit this objective
Answer:	Vortex claims 31 mils of elevation adjustment, mine has slightly more. With a 40 MOA rail the scope has about 26.5 mils of up elevation adjustment. This is beyond what my abilities can accurately produce. The rifle and bullet combo i have should get out to at least 1900 meters.
Question:	could you count antlers at 100 yds at dusk
Answer:	Jason, Not at all. I bought mine specifically to for my .22 (to use primarily at NRL .22 matches) that I only shoot out to 300yds. The clarity, magnification range, and 15 yard parallax setting are all very useful. As far as magnification-better to have it and not need it if on the fence-the 25x may come in handy to ID deer, etc. Lower ranges extremely clear as well. You won't be disappointed!
Question:	I am wanting this to put on an ar 223 5.56 will it be a good match on this rifle and what type mounts would you recommend. Thank You in advance for yo

User questions & answers

Question:	When i bought this it was $299.00. now its $249.00. why
Answer:	It came to me in a brand new box. It also had a warranty card.
Question:	Do you have a quick release levered mount with the same low profile as the stock Vortex mount you can recommend
Answer:	Hi, Yes it comes with a sunshade. What an awesome scope it turned out to be.
Question:	Is this a dual color ring
Answer:	It ultimately depends on what you're mounting it to, but typically you will need high rings for the 50mm objective on a 1" tube. I put mine on a rimfire with an 11mm to pictinny adaptor rail. That raised it up enough for me to get by with medium rings, but otherwise I'd need high.
Question:	When you guys received you spitfire, was the box in a sealed package or just a normal vortex box
Answer:	Hi! It all depends on the rifle you own. As you know the lower the scope the better it is. The 50 mm front of the scope has to clear the rifle. I mounted this scope on my Ruger 10-22 with the med ring and it is OK . I also brought the high rings just in case I switch rifle so day. How this answer you looking for

Spitfire 1x Prism Scope (SPR-200)

Built from the ground up specifically to maximize the quick-handling performance of rifles, Vortex’s Spitfire prism scope delivers incredible optical quality and ultra-fast functionality in a lightweight, streamlined package. The generous, parallax-free, sight picture and forgiving eyebox gets shooters on target effortlessly - even in high-stress scenarios.

Dual Ring Tactical (DRT) MOA Reticle

The DRT (Dual Ring Tactical) reticle is designed for rapid shooting at close distances. The dual ring design pulls the eye into instant alignment with the reticle center and target. Etched directly on the prism to assure consistent point-of-aim at all times with selectable red/green illumination of five intensity levels to match specific conditions.

Illumination Control

Illumination is available in both red and green colors. To change between colors, momentarily press and release both Up and Down buttons at the same time. Illumination intensity can be adjusted by either tapping Up or Down buttons, or holding button down to automatically cycle through adjustment range. The Spitfire has twelve levels of brightness, with the last two being ultra-low to allow use with NV equipment.

Reticle Focus

The Spitfire prism scope uses a fast focus eyepiece designed to quickly and easily provide a sharply focused reticle. To adjust the reticle focus:

1. Look through the scope at a blank white wall or up at the sky.

2. Turn the eyepiece focus dial in or out until the reticle image is as crisp as possible.

Mounting the Spitfire

Orient the Spitfire so the adjustment buttons face the shooter.

1. Loosen the base crossbolts and attach the Spitfire to the rail/base, making sure that recoil lugs are solidly seated in the base groove.

2. Check that the mount fully engages the base, press the Spitfire down and forward, then tighten the base crossbolts.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can anyone speak to this scopes low light performance
Answer:	30 mm scope rings, definitely "High" mount separate rings or a Cantilevered AR mount with 1/4" - 1/2" risers below the AR mount.
Question:	does this have a mil dot reticle
Answer:	Not sure, I do not prefer Butler Creek scope covers, the scope comes with Vortex cover/caps, if I were to go with an alternative to the factory covers I would go with one of the bikini style that cover the entire scope, several manufacturers make them.
Question:	How far can you shoot with this
Answer:	That would depend on the setting. The optics on the scope are crystal clear but I don't see that it gathers more light than cheaper scopes. You get what you pay for. If you want world class or if you're only getting 1 scope to last for years and years then go buy a Leupold. If you're easy to please, get the vortex.
Question:	what size flip cap covers fit on here
Answer:	I don't know if this will work on your gun or not. I had a hard time making it work on my rifle, a .300 win Mag., but I did get it to work and the scope worked most excellent. I would recommend that you use a pictinney rail base with at least 15 MOA rise. I would also recommend that you go with the highest Vortex rings you can fine.
