Vortex SPARC AR Gen II vs Primary Arms MD-25 Gen II

Buy the Vortex SPARC AR Gen II, ASIN B07YDSVM8C, when you want the compact red-dot optic whose card prints a 2 MOA dot, up to about 700 hours on the highest illumination setting and about 50,000 hours on the lowest, twelve illumination settings, multi-coated glass language, unlimited eye relief, a hard-coat anodized chassis, O-ring sealed waterproof language, an integrated multi-height mount system for Picatinny, and a packaged weight near 7.5 ounces with dimensions near 2.9 by 1 by 2.7 inches on the retailer table that travels with this ASIN. Buy the Primary Arms SLx MD-25 Gen II, ASIN B0BTQVM4QM, when you want the 25-millimeter microdot whose card prints a 2 MOA red dot, half-MOA click adjustments, eleven illumination settings, AutoLive motion-sensing activation, fully multicoated lenses, a hardcoat anodized aluminum body near 6.5 ounces and about three inches long, fog-resistant construction language, and a ruggedized Picatinny mounting system with integrated recoil lugs. Match the ASIN before you match a SPARC AR Gen I photograph or an MD-25 ACSS reticle sibling. The firearm stays at a licensed dealer. This page sells the optic cards only.

Short version. A Bushnell TRS-25 and a Vortex Crossfire CF-RD2 are a different red-dot fight. A Holosun HE507C-GR X2 and a SIG SOR52001 are pistol-optic territory with their own mount cells. A Vortex CF2-31007 and a Leupold 174182 are magnified Crossfire and VX-Freedom glass. Warne 514M and Talley TMS30M are rings, not the optic body. A Leupold LensPen 48807 and a Celestron 93575 clean glass; they do not zero it. This page is B07YDSVM8C and B0BTQVM4QM.

Who should buy the SPARC AR Gen II, and who should buy the MD-25 Gen II?

Buy B07YDSVM8C if you want the Vortex SPARC AR Gen II whose card prints a 2 MOA dot, twelve illumination settings, about 700 hours on high and about 50,000 hours on low, multi-coated glass, unlimited eye relief, hard-coat anodized waterproof-sealed language, an integrated multi-height Picatinny mount story, and a weight near 7.5 ounces on the retailer table used here. Buy B0BTQVM4QM if you want the Primary Arms SLx MD-25 Gen II whose card prints a 2 MOA red dot, half-MOA clicks, eleven illumination settings, AutoLive motion-sensing activation, a 25-millimeter multicoated housing, about 6.5 ounces, about three inches of length, and a ruggedized Picatinny mount with recoil lugs.

Buy neither on this page if you still need the firearm. That purchase is the dealer's. Buy neither if you wanted the TRS-25 and Crossfire CF-RD2 fight already written on this desk. Buy neither if you wanted a pistol slide optic. The Holosun 507C and SIG RomeoZero path is a different mount cell. Buy neither if you wanted magnified Crossfire or VX-Freedom glass from the CF2-31007 page.

What is B07YDSVM8C actually for?

This card is a Vortex SPARC AR Gen II red-dot sight, ASIN B07YDSVM8C. The feature language that belongs here prints a compact chassis, a 2 MOA dot sized for close work and still fine enough for longer aiming, battery life near 700 hours on the highest setting and near 50,000 hours on the lowest, twelve illumination settings, multi-coated lenses, unlimited eye relief, hard-coat anodization, O-ring seals for waterproof performance language, and an integrated base with a multi-height mount system for Picatinny. The retailer dimension block used here prints about 2.9 by 1 by 2.7 inches and about 7.5 ounces.

Two MOA is the aiming cell. It is not a magnification claim. Twelve illumination settings are brightness steps. They are not AutoLive. Seven hundred hours on high is not fifty thousand hours on low. Those two battery sentences live on the same card and must stay separate. A multi-height mount system is height hardware. It is not a free lower. The firearm photograph stays off this page on purpose.

VIP warranty language travels with Vortex cards. It is a warranty sentence, not a zero. Do not paste a SPARC Gen I battery story onto Gen II without renaming the ASIN. Do not order a Crossfire CF-RD2 because the brand matched and the SPARC cell was not checked. The TRS-25 and Crossfire page is already written for that other red-dot pair.

What is B0BTQVM4QM actually for?

This card is a Primary Arms SLx MD-25 Gen II rotary-knob microdot, ASIN B0BTQVM4QM. The feature language that belongs here prints a crisp 2 MOA red dot, half-MOA click adjustments, eleven illumination settings, fully multicoated lenses in a 25-millimeter housing, fog-resistant construction language, a hardcoat anodized aluminum body near 6.5 ounces and about three inches long, AutoLive motion-sensing activation that powers the sight on with movement and shuts it down when still, and a next-generation ruggedized mounting system with integrated recoil lugs and large-diameter crossbolts for Picatinny.

Twenty-five millimeters is the housing story. It is not a 30-millimeter tube from a different optic aisle. AutoLive is the motion cell. It is not twelve Vortex brightness steps. Six point five ounces is lighter than the SPARC table's 7.5 ounces on the numbers used here. Do not average them. Half-MOA clicks are adjustment increments. They are not a free bore-sight job at a public range.

Primary Arms lifetime warranty language travels with this card. It is a warranty sentence. An ACSS reticle MD-25 sibling is a different shopping title if the ASIN changes. Match B0BTQVM4QM before you match a reticle photograph alone. Do not order a Holosun 507C because the tab said red dot and the Picatinny microdot cell was not checked. The pistol-optic page is a different desk fight.

How do you read these two optic cards without mixing the firearm?

Both technique cells are compact red-dot optics with Picatinny mount language. Neither cell is a firearm for sale on this page. The pistol or the rifle stays at a licensed dealer. Amazon buttons on this page point at the optic ASINs only. No ammunition ASIN appears here. No firearm photograph appears in the hero, the inline, or the Amazon cards.

The SPARC AR Gen II card gives you 2 MOA, twelve illumination settings, about 700 hours on high and about 50,000 hours on low, a multi-height Picatinny mount story, and about 7.5 ounces. The MD-25 Gen II card gives you 2 MOA, eleven illumination settings, AutoLive, half-MOA clicks, a 25-millimeter housing, about 6.5 ounces, and about three inches of length. Those are the sentences this comparison will treat as belonging to these parts. A reviewer who zeroed one on a borrowed carbine is a reviewer. The feature still does not sell the carbine.

Rings live on the Warne and Talley page. Magnified Crossfire and VX-Freedom glass live on the CF2-31007 page. Lens pens live on the Leupold and Celestron page. A Holosun 507C is a pistol-optic conversation. Do not paste those mount cells onto B07YDSVM8C or B0BTQVM4QM because the aisle said optics.

What actually fails on these two cards?

The SPARC AR Gen II card fails when 2 MOA is rewritten as a magnified reticle. It fails when 700 hours on high is sold as 50,000 hours without naming the low setting. It fails when twelve illumination settings are called AutoLive. It fails when a Gen I SPARC photograph is ordered on B07YDSVM8C. It fails when a TRS-25 is opened because Vortex matched a red-dot tab and the SPARC ASIN was not checked. It fails when a firearm buy button is invented for this page.

The MD-25 Gen II card fails when AutoLive is deleted and twelve SPARC brightness steps are pasted in. It fails when 6.5 ounces is replaced by 7.5 ounces and the feature is erased. It fails when a 25-millimeter housing is called a 30-millimeter tube. It fails when an ACSS reticle sibling ASIN is treated as B0BTQVM4QM. It fails when a Holosun 507C pistol optic is ordered because the brand aisle said red dot. It fails when a rifle photograph is treated as the product you can add to cart here.

What is this comparison not?

This is not a firearm sale. Both cards are optics. This is not every SPARC and every MD-25. B07YDSVM8C and B0BTQVM4QM are the cards. A Gen I SPARC or an ACSS MD-25 with a different ASIN is a different part. This is not the TRS-25 and Crossfire CF-RD2 page. This is not a pistol-optic page. This is not a price quote. The price moves. Use the optic buttons if you want the live listing. The firearm purchase is the dealer's.

This is also not a claim that one optic groups tighter. Neither card prints a group size in inches at a hundred yards that this magazine will invent. A shop sentence about accuracy is a shop sentence. Leave the group on the range.

So which red dot should you buy?

Buy the Vortex if you want ASIN B07YDSVM8C, the SPARC AR Gen II with a 2 MOA dot, twelve illumination settings, about 700 hours on high and about 50,000 hours on low, multi-height Picatinny mount language, and about 7.5 ounces on the table used here. Buy the Primary Arms if you want ASIN B0BTQVM4QM, the MD-25 Gen II with a 2 MOA dot, eleven illumination settings, AutoLive, half-MOA clicks, a 25-millimeter housing, about 6.5 ounces, and about three inches of length. Buy neither here if you still need the firearm. That purchase is the dealer's.

The clip under this section is a public look at a Vortex SPARC AR Gen II. It is not an MD-25 Gen II review. The title and the footage are SPARC territory. Watch it for the SPARC shape and the mount language you can see on camera. Do not watch it as a verdict on ASIN B0BTQVM4QM. Optics only. No firearm is required to read the card.
