Product Overview
The StrikeFire® II delivers fast target acquisition and dependable performance for tactical training and range sessions. Compared to smaller red dots, its larger 30mm objective and tube-style design provide a genuinely wider field of view, and it mounts at just about any height using common 30mm rings.
A 4 MOA dot is easy to acquire quickly and is available in red only or user-selectable red/green. Ten brightness levels cover everything from bright daylight down to the lowest two NV-compatible settings, with sleek rear-facing controls for fast adjustment. An offset cantilever mount is included as standard, positioning the sight forward on the rail so it can be run alongside a magnifier and backup iron sights simultaneously.
The single-piece 30mm anodized-aluminum alloy chassis is nitrogen-purged and O-ring sealed for waterproof, fogproof performance, with an extra-high recoil rating for reliable use on hard-recoiling platforms.

Magnifier accessories — Micro3X (3×, 2.64in/67mm eye relief), Micro6X (6×, 2.5in/64mm eye relief), and VMX-3T (3×, 2.2in/56mm eye relief — the shortest in the range) — pair with any red dot or holographic sight in this lineup, including the UH-1, for extended reach. They are not recommended for use with the Spitfire prism scopes, which already carry fixed magnification.
Reticle & Sight Picture
The StrikeFire II uses a clean 4 MOA dot, available in red only, or a user-selectable red/green version — letting each shooter choose the colour and brightness intensity that works best for their eyes and environment.
The tube-style sight picture is larger and more familiar than a compact micro red dot's window, which some shooters find easier to acquire quickly, especially under stress or during rapid target transitions.
