To get the best results from your Vortex StrikeFire red dot, proper
mounting is essential. Although not difficult, the correct steps must be
followed. If you are unsure of your abilities, it would be best to use the services
of a qualified gunsmith.
If your firearm is not already equipped with a base, install an appropriate
Weaver or Picatinny type base and attach per the manufacturer’s
instructions. These may be readily purchased
from most firearms dealers.
The StrikeFire red dot includes a 30 mm Weaver or Picatinny style
mounting ring. The mounted height will vary depending on which model
of the StrikeFire you have purchased:
• AR-15 Model: Extra-high mounting ring (40 mm) provides lower 1/3
co-witness with iron sights on flat top AR-15 rifles.
• Hunt Model: Low mounting ring (21 mm) works for most other
applications including carry-handle mount AR-15 rifles.
The StrikeFire comes with one of two
30 mm mounting ring heights.

The Vortex StrikeFire red dot incorporates elevation and windage dials with
audible clicks. Each small click will move
the point of impact 1/2 Minute of Angle
(MOA). 1/2 MOA will correspond to 1/2
inch at 100 yards, 1 inch at 200 yards, 1
1/2 inches at 300 yards, etc.
Adjusting the settings
You may use a coin or screwdriver to make your adjustments.
1. Remove the dial covers.
2. Turn the adjustment dial in the appropriate Up/Down or Left/Right
direction as indicated by the arrows. Move the dials in the direction you wish
the bullet’s point of impact to change.
Windage and Elevation Adjustments
Example
At a 50 yard sight-in distance, it will take four clicks of the dial to move
the bullet’s point of impact one inch.
