Vortex Strikefire Red Dot

Is this the knock off?

@RangerI have asked the same question in PM, the reply was that it’s genuine. But I’ve never seen that box design ever, and I’ve owned about 15-20 vortex sights over the last 5 years. Also that style of Strikefire was only marketed as the Strikefire II, as far as I am aware and as far as my research has taken me so far.

There is the answer @Ranger, Virtex have only ever produced optics with the VIP warranty, it has been pretty much their selling point since day 1

Vortex have confirmed that it is the original box style for pre 2014 models of this scope, despite 1967PF44 appearing to be the oracle of all things Vortex.

 

There is nothing I am aware of to suggest it is not genuine. When I bought it it would have been advertised as genuine, and I have used it on real steel AR's previously, but just not using it anymore.

 

 

The Strikefire shown here is the Gen 1,  the packaging and housing is definitely dated as it came out almost a decade ago.

I don't believe it to be a knock off. I have had it for at least 5 years.
