    Vette - I'm a rookie with red dots, and am considering this one for my AR. Do you know how many hours the battery lasts in a Vortex Sparc?

    EDIT: nevermind, I just found it on their website:

    120 hours (maximum brightness)
    3400 hours (minimum brightness)
    Typical battery life in night vision mode: 4200 hours (maximum brightness), 4600 hours (minimum brightness).

    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).

    To add to this, yesterday I received my SPARCs I ordered from Vette on Monday. The brightest setting is very bright IMHO, and blooms too much. I felt that with the brightness adjusted to minimum it was just perfect for indoors use and on a bright day I have plenty of room to increase brightness. Without actually testing the run-time, I don't think you will have any problems with battery life.

    Definitely take advantage of his price match offer if you are even thinking of getting a new red dot anytime soon. I stopped by and picked one up today from him. I'm really impressed with the strikefire, clear glass and a good build quality. All of my future vortex purchases will be going through A & A optics. Alan's a good guy to do business with.
