Then you are one of the lucky ones. Google "Vortex Strikefire scope reflection problem"and do some reading.
I have the same issue with the one I have sitting at the house.

The objective lens has a reflective coating on it to reflect the LED, so you are going to get some reflection of the internals of the scope. We've tried to mitigate that as much as possible, but it's difficult to completely eliminate it.

The key is that if you are shooting both eyes open and focusing on the target instead of the inside of the scope you shouldn't really notice it. The idea is to train your eyes so that you merge the dot with the field of view of your non-dominant eye. That has worked well for me and I don't even see it unless I am looking for it.


The only thread I found anyone complaining about that issue is on ar15.com. And here is the response from the resident vortex rep.

Trading in for a burris is laughable as most of their products have durability issues.
