As I mentioned in my previous post here. I ordered a Vortex Strikefire 2 Red Dot for my new build.
THEN TODAY WHEN REMOVING IT FROM THE VORTEX BOX I HAD AN ULTIMATE SHOCK!
I had ordered it from a well known source who had it shipped to me from a well known vendor they use.
Today, I opened the Box for the first time thinking I would mount the Optic on the Upper Receiver. Inside the Vortex Box was the Vortex Strikefire Owners Manual and a Cantilever Mount and no battery!
And then the "SHOCK"! It was not a Vortex Strikefire 2 Red Dot! It was some unknown Brand Red Dot! Someone at the main facility I purchased it through or someone at the vendors location had removed the Vortex Strikefire and put the unknown Red Dot Optic in it's place in the Box!
It does not even have a Brand Name on it at all! Since we know that all Vortex products has their Logo on it. In fact another clue was there was also no battery in the box with the unit. Knowing from research that the Strikefire 2 Red/Green Dot takes a CR-2 Battery was a clue! The unknown brand unit required a watch type battery like a 2025 of course it neither had that! I contacted my purchase source (A-----) regarding the above this morning and with no problem at all they are refunding my money and picking the Box with the unknown Optic in it up via UPS the first of this week. I will be then ordering a new one and "Hopefully the correct Vortex StrikeFire Optic will follow!
I also sent an Email to the (A) and to the Vendor advising them of the incident. And advising them that one of the two companies had a thief among their employees!
