Vortex Spitfire HD Gen II 5x is a new-generation prism scope designed specifically for rifles chambered in 5.56.
The Vortex Spitfire HD Gen II is a worthy successor to the popular prism optic. In this new generation, the optical system, housing, and reticle have been upgraded, resulting in a lighter and smaller 5× scope featuring HD optics and an AR-BDC MOA reticle calibrated for 5.56 ballistics.
Changes compared to the Spitfire Prism Gen I:
- Increased adjustment range up to 200 MOA (elevation and windage);
- Reduced weight and size;
- New AR-BDC4 reticle calibrated for 5.56 ammunition.
AR-BDC4 Reticle
The BDC reticle allows shooters to quickly adjust for distance without using the turrets. The high-contrast, easy-to-read reticle supports both precision and rapid target acquisition in any lighting conditions. It provides a wide field of view of 7.8/100 m and features a 1 MOA center dot, a surrounding 1.5 MOA partial ring, and a vertical post with four horizontal holdovers for 300–600 yards (274–548 m). Adjustments are made via open-style turrets, with one click equaling 1 MOA. The total adjustment range is 200 MOA in elevation and windage. The eyepiece includes a focus ring for fast, crisp reticle clarity.
The scope is powered by a side-mounted CR2032 battery. To extend battery life, an auto shut-off system activates after 14 hours of inactivity.
The package includes lens caps, a multifunction Torx wrench, a cleaning cloth, a CR2032 battery, and two mounts: a high 1/3 co-witness (40 mm) for rifles and a low (27 mm) mount.
The Spitfire HD Gen II 5× is also equipped with an MRDS platform (Mounting Micro Red Dot Sights), allowing the attachment of Vortex Viper or Vortex Venom micro red dots.
Optics
- HD optics — redesigned optical system for exceptional resolution, high light transmission, and reduced chromatic aberration.
- Brightness adjustment — 12 levels.
- Night vision compatibility — the two lowest brightness settings are optimized for NV use.
Construction
- Water resistance — O-ring seals prevent moisture, dust, and debris from entering, ensuring reliability in any environment.
- Shock resistance — built to withstand firearm recoil and impact.
- Fog resistance — nitrogen purged to prevent internal fogging across temperature ranges.
- Matte anodized finish — protects against corrosion and reduces glare, helping conceal the shooter’s position.
- AR-BDC4 reticle — designed for 5.56 ballistics, allowing fast target engagement and holdover adjustments up to 650 meters.
