The fixed height of the Spitfire AR is set at the standard lower 1/3 co-witness, and requires an additional riser to follow the current trend of taller optics mounts. When handling a scope that is functioning like a red dot sight, we engage in a give-and-take. As 1x scope, the rather forgiving eye relief makes the optic feel more like a reflex sight, and the use of lenses creates an optical illusion that “disappears” much of the housing body. The illumination toggles between red or green, for different environments or preferences. The etching of the reticle cannot run out of batteries, as the black reticle will remain visible in daylight hours. Prism Sights have their own advantages as well. The Huey is for active users who maintain their gear, and is tuned for aggression. The battery life on the AMG UH-1 Gen II has improved from the first-gen, but still doesn't compare with the literal years a Sparc Solar can run. The durability of the Huey is only enhanced by Vortex's Warranty, so if anything should ever go wrong, there's something to back it up. The reticle brings more to the table than a single dot, and the holographic technology translates into no glass tint. Where the Huey shows its advantage over other Vortex red dot sights is in the little details. the reticle, a modified dot-and-circle includes a built-in height-over-bore reference point for closer engagements, and has four night-vision brightness levels. The rather spacious sight box obscures less of the shooter's vision from the top and sides, as all components comprise the base. The AMG UH-1 Gen II is completely self-contained, with an integral quick detach mounting system as well as height and windage adjustments that can (albeit difficultly) be adjusted by hand.
