New from Vortex Optics is the Speed Point Aiming for Rapid Combat (SPARC). The single piece body is crafted from aircraft-grade 6061-T6 aluminum and the optics are sealed with O-rings and feature nitrogen filled barrels. While you will generally see this sight on rifles and shotguns we have already seen a couple of pistols sporting the SPARC. One of the most interesting things about the SPARC is the mounting solution. The Picatinny modular three-piece base offers four separate mounting heights including absolute or lower 1/3 co-witness for the M16 family. The parallax free sight also features an optional screw-in 2x magnifier. The dot is of variable intensity and also offers a night-vision mode. The SPARC’s 6-hour auto-shutdown feature maximizes battery life. Typical battery life in normal mode of operation: 120 hours (maximum brightness), 3400 hours (minimum brightness). Typical battery life in night vision mode: 4200 hours (maximum brightness), 4600 hours (minimum brightness).
The Vortex SPARC is available from AFMO as well as Blackheart International.
