Vortex Optics AMG UH-1 Gen II Holographic Sight with 1 MOA Dot, Tan

2026-05-17T20:00:00

Have many vortex optics . Mostly defender st open and closed emitters . Just purchased this one to day was blown away how great the holographic ring and dot were. I'm assuming this will last for many years top notch quality . Although I wish one of my other vortex optics would fail , just to test out their award winning best in the business customer service . Don't see why anyone would ever spend money on anything else . If it breaks we send you another send us the broken one in is their policy . Well been patiently waiting for one of my other 6 optics from them to fail lol. Love vortex won't buy nothing but vortex !

I recently purchased UH-1 Gen 2 red dot and was very surprised at the clarity and rugged frame it has. I had a little sticker shock when I went looking for a red dot but after seeing the results I am confident I chose well. I mounted this to a Panzer MAG12.

Great Optic even greater company. Had the first version UH1 Gen 1 for about 6 years on a 16"Inch AR Platform. Started noticing the battery draining within weeks of installing new battery and sent in to have serviced. Within a week I had a new UH1 Gen 2 delivered at my house. Best Optic company in the business hands down. When looking to put new optics on a build I will look no further than VORTEX.

I love the uh-1 gen2, I've had mine since 2021 and after about a year it started draining batteries while off in about a week so I contacted vortex and sent it in and they fixed it and it worked for about 2 years then started draining again so I sent it back and had a brand new one at my house within 7 days of sending it off, best customer service and warranter ever, will be a vortex customer for life and can't wait to try their new defender enclosed emitter pistol sight!!!!

Have this on a 300blk AR platform with a 3x magnifier. The buttons and located in spots that make it hard to bump and you can feel the clicks in the dials well. The NVG settings all seem well designed? plus you can't beat the vortex VIP warranty!

Outstanding service from Vortex. I bought the gen 1, first time shooting it I saw starburst instead of clear line. I returned the gen 1 and it was replaced with a gen 2, only thing I do not like is the fact the sight isnt clear crisp lines like you see on eotech or holosun.

I was looking for a step-up from the usual red-dots and AR-scopes for my Kriss Vector build, which led me to the UH-1 Gen II and VMX-3T combo. The UH-1 has tremendous build quality, the glass is top notch and the holographic technology is incredible?the reticle is clear, always in focus and never shifts away from the target no matter how you look through the optic or have your head positioned. Once I had it zeroed, it was absolutely perfect through 500 rounds. These are my first Vortex optics and they definitely will not be my last?

The AMG UH-1 is exactly what I wanted. I had experience with EOTECH equipment in the Army and nearly went with one of their products but changed my mind and went with the UH-1. Out of the box I could tell it was well made and as rugged as I need it to be- I don't expect to be going to combat any time soon, but I would trust it in a combat situation without fear of failure. It locked very securely on my rifle, and this was a concern of mine based another review that mentioned that it didn't lock in well on their cerekoated rifle. It was very easy to zero as I lucked out and the point of impact was already very close to the point of aim after mounting the sight. I appreciate that it uses a very common battery, a CR123A. And the overall operaiton is simple. The reticle is nice in that the center dot is a 1 MOA for precise shooting and the reticle also has a CQB triangle on the bottom for targets within 10 yards or less, to account for the height over bore offset. And you just can't beat the Unlimited Unconditional Lifetime Warranty

I bought the gen. 1 UH1 many years ago as the first optic I ever purchased for myself. It worked great but had a small issue where when the optic was in standby, it would kill a fresh battery in about one month. Optic held zero and functioned perfectly otherwise. I reached out to vortex, and in the same day, they emailed me a return label to check out the optic and see if they could repair it. A few days later, vortex reached out to me again and informed me that they would be replacing my optic with a new gen. 2 UH1 FOR FREE. They even sent back my gen. 1 with the gen. 2 because on the form I had written that my gen. 1 had sentimental value. When my new optic and old optic were shipped out to me Ryan from Vortex personally called me to get me up to speed on the repair claim. Nice guy. I can not believe a company like vortex still exists. Their employees and products are incredible. I will never buy another brand of optic after today. Thank you Vortex and thank you Ryan.

Incredible customer service, unmatched to any company out there. Within five days malfunctioning optic was mailed, replaced, and received. No questions asked, all within 5 days. Incredible

If I leave the battery in it, it will run the battery down. And Yes, the sight is turned off, I also have the 14 hr. idle off turned on.

I have two of these optics, a gen 1 and gen 2, my gen 1 is awesome outside of the battery life, I dont know if this is because I am used to Aimpoint on my work guns or if I am not monitering it like I should, but the quality of both this optics and the reticle is amazing.

I bought this optic for my MK18, and I have been greatly impressed by it. The EBR-CQB reticle is amazing for flat range shooting, I'm really appreciative of the 10 yard marker on the bottom of the reticle. I love the easy brightness adjustment, and the night vision mode.

I hade two AMG UH-1's, a Gen I and a Gen II that were killing batteries when not used and turned off. I contacted Vortex warranty, they sent a prepaid return label for me to return the AMG units. It took Vortex less than one week after receipt of the AMG units to repair the Gen II and Vortex replaced the Gen I. That is outstanding service. Thank you Vortex. Vortex went above and beyond repairing, replacing and extensively testing both units to make sure both were functions as specified. So far, my third AMG is functioning as it should, but if any problems appear, I am confident Vortex Lifetime Warranty will take care of any problems. Thanks gain, Vortex.

I had the UH-1 gen 1. One of the pieces of glass inside came loose. I sent it back and BEFORE 7 days had passed, I had a brand new gen 2 sitting in front of me. Best warranty ever.

I absolutely love this optic . Added the micro 3 along with this and it's just perfect for 100 yards . That was the sole purpose of purchase was training cqb and 100 yards. The glass is clear optic has a nice view to look through. I have zero complaints.another sole reason i went with vortex is they just stand behind what they sell . That's why i also purchased a strike eagle two from them recently . There are cheaper options elsewhere. But the warranty you get from them sold me on the optics i have purchased.i most definitely would purchase from them again and do not think anyone will be disappointed.if could give one complaint is it stays on for 14 hours but i always take the battery out. So i do not mind .good luck

Watched a lot of reviews before ordering. Easy to install and zero, lens has great clarity. Reticle is bright and easy to see, even on very sunny days. Highly recommend.

I picked AMG UH1 last fall to put on my Hellion. Its been remarkable! Everyone that has used the gun remarks about what a perfect pairing it is with the sight. Added an 3x magnifier and my old eyes are like new again. The quality of the sight is so good. Its easy to use and looks great. Love Vortex products.

I own 2 and both are paired with Unity risers along with 3x micro's. Both have been unbeatable and I am extremely pleased with how well both have performed in various climates and weather conditions. Only the best from Vortex.

I bought the original UH-1 when it first came out. Absolutely have loved that optic. It's been on my duty rifle for 7 years and gone through thousands and thousands of rounds, countless inner city vehicle pursuits, and in and out of the rifle racks. This thing has been indestructible and been my favorite reticle due to the easy hold for cqb shots. Sadly, last week I noticed that the optic body had a wobble while mounted. If it was a recreational gun it probably would have been fine still. But being on my duty rifle I didn't want to risk it. A 5 minute conversation with someone from vortex's warranty department and I had a new one on the way, expressed shipping so I could get it back in operation asap. This is why I will never go with anyone other than vortex for my duty optics. Love the company and product. Can't thank vortex enough.

I bought the HUEY after owning an Eotech 3-4. I love it!!! Its solid and I actually enjoy not having the hood shroud like the eotech which allows for better FOV. I also really enjoy the little notches taken out of the ring which allows for better view of the target. I do have an astigmatism but my eye has been able to adjust to the reticle. Consumers need to realize that holo sights are NOT perfectly clear. They are pixilated no matter how good your vision is because that's how the technology works. For my zero I ended up doing the 36yd zero from vigilance tactical. I personally enjoy this optic more than my eotech, so BRAVO Vortex!!!! Its hard to pass up the no excuse, no hassle warranty which was a HUGE selling point for me. Thanks!

I own MANY Vortex riflescopes so I figured this would be the same quality. I am disappointed. I got this about 10 days ago and mounted it on my AR15. It seemed a bit heavy but in comparing it to others in its class, it is about the same. I kind of like the blocky look. I dont need the night vision feature so it was not a selling point to me. I am very disappointed in the reticle. I expected crisp and clear. What I have is very lackluster. Its not quite as bad as in the photos. The glass is very clear and it has a nice field of view. Unfortunately, the reticle is a deal breaker and this one is going back.

Incredible optic. Love the quick release & ability to move between multiples. Should have come with the cover.

my eyes aren't what they used to be and looking down a tube isn't sufficient this really helps me acquire targets with ease - just wish vortex could make this a 4x
