Vortex Optics Red Dot Richtkijker Spitfire 1x-AR

The Vortex Spitfire 1x-AR Prism Scope combines the speed of a red dot sight with the advantages of a prism scope. Thanks to the etched Dual Ring Tactical (DRT) reticle, the clear optics and the robust aluminium construction, this scope is ideal for rapid target acquisition at short to medium ranges. The 1x magnification allows you to keep both eyes open, whilst the compact design fits perfectly on AR platforms, airsoft replicas and other tactical set-ups.

With its durable construction, water- and dust-proof casing and the well-known Vortex VIP Guarantee, the Spitfire 1x-AR is designed for years of intensive use.

Prism Scope with etched DRT reticle

Unlike a traditional red dot sight, the Spitfire uses an etched reticle.

This offers a significant advantage: even when the battery is flat, the aiming point remains visible. This means you can continue to aim at all times, regardless of the battery status.

The Dual Ring Tactical (DRT) reticle is designed for rapid target acquisition and provides a clear aiming reference during dynamic shooting situations.

Illuminated red and green reticle

To ensure the reticle remains clearly visible in a variety of lighting conditions, the Spitfire is fitted with both red and green illumination.

With 5 brightness levels, you can easily adjust the lighting to suit your surroundings.

The advantages of this are:

• Good visibility in bright daylight.
• Less glare at dusk.
• Flexible choice between red and green.
• Suitable for a wide range of lighting conditions.

1x zoom for maximum speed

The 1x magnification allows you to focus completely naturally.

This allows you to:

• Keep both eyes open.
• Track targets more quickly.
• Maintain a greater awareness of one’s surroundings.
• Shooting comfortably during dynamic disciplines.

This makes the Spitfire particularly well-suited to CQB, IPSC, airsoft and other activities where speed is important.

Full Multi-Coated lenzen

The high-quality Full Multi-Coated lenses ensure excellent light transmission.

This results in:

• Clear images.
• High sharpness.
• Natural colour reproduction.
• Good contrast.

Even in less than ideal lighting conditions, the image remains clearly visible.

Sturdy aluminium construction

The housing is made from a single piece of aircraft-grade aluminium, which ensures a particularly strong construction.

As a result, the rifle scope is resistant to:

• Shocks.
• Heavy use.
• Setback.
• Severe weather conditions.

Despite its sturdy construction, the whole thing remains compact and relatively light.

Water-, dust- and mist-proof

Thanks to its nitrogen-filled construction and O-ring seals, the Spitfire is fully protected against the elements.

The rifle scope is:

• Waterproof.
• Dust-proof.
• Fog-free.

This ensures that the optics continue to function reliably in rain, cold, dusty and damp conditions.

Resistant to extreme temperatures

The Spitfire is designed for use in a variety of weather conditions.

It continues to operate reliably at temperatures of:

• -30°C
• Up to +50°C

This makes it suitable for both winter and warm conditions.

Parallax-free design

The rifle scope is set to be parallax-free from 100 yards (91 metres).

This ensures that the point of focus remains consistent with respect to the target when the eye position changes slightly, which contributes to rapid and accurate target acquisition.

Easy assembly

The included Lower 1/3 Co-Witness mount makes it easy to mount on virtually any Picatinny or Weaver rail.

This makes the Spitfire suitable for a wide range of replicas and firearms.

Vortex VIP Guarantee

Like all Vortex premium optics, the Spitfire also comes with the well-known Vortex VIP Warranty.

In the unlikely event of a fault, Vortex will repair or replace the product. This lifetime warranty does not cover loss, theft, deliberate damage or cosmetic damage that does not affect the product’s functionality.

Practical insights

A prism scope such as the Spitfire offers advantages over a traditional red dot sight, particularly for users who prefer an etched reticle. As the reticle remains visible even without a battery, you are never entirely dependent on the electronics.

Furthermore, the combination of 1x magnification, the DRT reticle and the clear lenses ensures that targets can be located quickly without losing sight of the overall picture. This makes the Spitfire popular with both airsoft players and sport shooters who value speed and reliability.

A common mistake is to compare the Spitfire with a standard red dot sight. Although both are designed for rapid target acquisition, the Spitfire features an etched prism reticle that remains visible even without a battery.
