Vortex Strikefire 2/VMX 3X Magnifier VS Holosun HS501C/HM3X


Recommended Posts

Okay…newbie question here.

Found that the PSA store has a crazy deal on the Vortex Strikefire 2, how does that optic compare to the Holosun 510c?

Was also thinking about purchasing the Holosun combo of the Holosun 3x Magnifier and 510c, but then I found another deal for the Vortex VMX 37 at Optics Planet (unfortunately it is sold out at PSA and I wouldn’t be able to purchase both at once).

Sorta bottom line - I am looking for a quality budget friendly red-dot optic with a magnifier as well. The Holosun combo is an all in one deal but at regular price it comes in higher than the two separate Vortex purchases from different online stores.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks!

I'd take the 510C over the Strikefire all day. The magnifiers are likely pretty similar in glass clarity so would probably lean toward whatever you get cheaper.  I've used the Holo 3x for a while and it's OK, nothing to write home about good or bad but I do find the flip to side mount is a bit janky.

Have you played with the set screw on the hinge?  My HM3X is pretty solid.
