Speed and versatility—that’s what 1x variable optics offer shooters who need to engage targets from point-blank out to 600 yards, and that’s exactly what you get with the redesigned Strike Eagle. With the BDC3 reticle and a thread-in throw lever, you’ll be on target even faster.

  • Improved for ranging distances and holdovers and illuminated for clarity in low light.
  • Use the ranging feature at the top of the reticle to range a silhouette target up to 600 yd.
  • BDC subtensions accurately shoot targets from 20-650 yards.
  • 5 MPH wind increments

Your riflescope uses a fast focus eyepiece designed to quickly and easily adjust the focus on the riflescope’s reticle.

1. Look through the riflescope at a blank white wall or at the sky.

2. Turn focus knob fully outward (counterclockwise).

3. Slowly turn the eyepiece focus knob inward until the reticle image is as crisp as possible.

Turret Adjustments

Your riflescope features adjustable elevation and windage turret dials with audible and tactile clicks. Each click moves the point of impact 1/2 MOA.

1. Remove the turret caps.

2. Following the directional arrows, turn the dials in the direction you wish the bullet’s point of impact to go.

3. When finished adjusting, replace the turret caps.

Indexing the Turrets

Strike Eagles feature Elevation and Windage Turrets that allow you to re-index the zero indicator after sight-in without disturbing your zero setting.

1. After completing the final sight-in, remove the turret cap(s).

2. Without rotating the turret, twist the turret dial to reposition it with the “0” mark aligned with “Up” on the scope housing.

3. Replace the turret cap(s).

Vortex products are pound for pound as good as many big dollar optics and their customer service is second to none. You can’t go wrong.

You can never go wrong with vortex, I don’t care what anyone says. Great product for a great price that comes with a great lifetime warranty, until I find another optic company that beats that… ill be using vortex for all things optics including range finders and binoculars. Name me another optic that I can buy, then immediately drop it and smash it to pieces and then go get a brand new one for free…. Oh wait you can’t, except for vortex

Great Scope. I really like Vortex products. I bought this scope for my 308 rifle. Very nice clarity, good zoom and love the Illuminated Cross hairs.

Ok so I wanted the 1x6 but it was sold out. So I'm having to spend an extra 100 dollars. Dobi regret it would I go back and buy the 1x6 instead? No reason I out this on 8x and put my target all the way to the end of the indoor range. So I have a 3x9x40 and if it was slightly more powerful I'd hit the target 30 out of 30. So when I put on this which is 1xless power I thought well it's Vortex maybe it will be ok more then ok I hit the black on target 30 of 30. Most guys out there do say 1x6 is better better eyebox. I tested using my off eye hit 20 of 20 of reloads! it's a really lighter then tbe 1x6 also. It also has a regrow lever. OP mod us cool with tbe 1x6 but they are sold out so do I feel left out it ripped off. Not at all I love this optic it is clean crisp all the way up to 8x and I seen videos showing how after 6 its garbage power blurry. Maybe it is but you know what I'll take that then limited to 6. So I can stop at 6 and gave amazing quality but I do go to 7x and you know what I dont see anything bad about those 2 extra powers I hit my targets very well. Also I heard about Primary Arms being better. Well possible the design of the horseshoe vs the Chevron and the 3g box is better but I can see thjs out lines the round nksck target better and it's not too much going on at all. Infact lower it to a 4 and it's just a crimson outline. VORTEX is known great valued optics. Period Orimary Arms is t on that list if top 10 purchased reliable optics. I think most law enforcement and military persons would pick it over Primary Arms. Both made in China but it's ran like an American Company great customer service wrote me a check and took back a bad product. My life depends on it I'm choosing the Vortex. On my Spr I have 2 Vortex but the struke Eagle is there because most things I shoot are under 100 yards. The other is a Diamondback Tactical 6x24 and it is amazing for like 200 yard shots I know that you can take 1000 yard shots with it. But I'm running 62 grain 556 so I'm taking no more then 100yards 77 grain I'd attempt a longer shot and obviously you would need a stronger scope but it's true 1 power that does not grow. it's perfect and my sig xdr predator is on my sbr. And I wish that thjs strike Eagle was green like that is. If it was green like it br better then pretty much any short distance scope. Also I understand 400 is alot and most would choose tbe 1x6 but if you are used to 3x9 then go with this because it's pretty much the same

I bought this for my first competition gun (18" ar15) and it's everything I could as for. The price here is fantastic considering MSRP of $400 (I paid approximately $220). The glass is quite clear given the price bracket and for almost everyone it is all you need. The scope has no issue holding zero between range visits and getting knocked around. The reticle is great for up close at 1x, especially while illuminated, and easy to use at reasonable range - I can only attest to 400yds since that is the furthest I've taken it to. One of the biggest selling points for me was the warranty. Vortex has the best warranty I have ever seen which is especially important when you bagging around something made of glass. It is really reassuring to know that I can do what I need to do without having to worry about babying my scope. As the title of my review says, the scope is high enough quality to do what I need it to do, and the warranty gives me the piece of mind to do it. I see myself using Vortex optics for many years to come.

I've been using mine on a .223 AR style rifle. The BDC reticle is great. After bore sighting it and getting the initial zero at 200yd, the other subtensions are practically perfect with my factory 69gr cartridges. At 600yd with a cold bore, my first shot was within 6" of the centre.The overall quality of the optic is fine too. Clarity is good and it feels solid enough to take a few knocks no problem.I can't imagine ever needing to replace it.

Ich hab für meine AR15 ein Glas gesucht, das preiswert, idealerweise 1-6x-Vergrößerung und beleuchtetes Absehen hat. Ich habe keinen Anspruch, damit Wettbewerbe zu schießen, ich gehe damit einmal im Monat rein aus Spaß auf die Range. Dafür ist es gedacht.Das Glas ist natürlich kein Zeiss, Steiner, oder Swarowski. Man gibt hier unter 400 Euro aus. Das muss man immer im Blick haben. Und für diesen Preis ist es wirklich ein hervorragendes Glas. Die Randschärfe kann natürlich nicht mit oben genannten mithalten, ist aber mehr als nur im akzeptablen Rahmen. Das Gewicht ist akzeptabel. Die Absehenverstellung ist in 1/2MOA-Schritten zu verstellen, was für den Einsatzzweck absolut reicht, es ist ja kein Longrange-Glas. Das Glas hält auch die Null ohne Probleme. Um auf 100m Präzisionsschießen zu machen, ist das Absehen etwas zu dick, man kriegt aber trotzdem gute Streukreise hin. Präzissionsschießen auf 50m funktioniert mit diesem Glas wieder sehr gut. Die ballistischen Linien sind ein nettes Gimmick, aber ich schätze, dass die meisten User das niemals brauchen werden. Wann schießt man damit schon über 200m?Das Absehen ist in elf Schritten beleuchtbar, die Abstufungen sind gut.Gut ist, dass man bei den Türmen die Null markieren kann. Die Absehenverstellung funktioniert über deutlich wahrnehmbare Klicks.Alles in allem ein empfehlenswertes Glas für IPSC-Einsteiger und Freizeitschützen. Für die Drückjagd wäre mir das Absehen zu geschäftig, da wäre ein ganz banales Absehen 4 besser geeignet.

This is the second Vortex optic I've purchased and the result is always the same. Outstanding product for the money. A value that is unmatched by any other optics company. Can you find better? Sure you can but not without triple the cost and you WILL NOT match their warranty anywhere. For under $300 you will not find a better scope for your AR.Pros- for $300 it has very clear glass. The reticle is great. Illumination is daylight bright. The 1-6x at the cost is fantastic as it is a true 1x and works just as well as a red dot. At 6x it maintains its clarity and really is pleasing to eyes in a way that you will not find with another scope at this price range.Cons- at 1x there is a very slight amount of fish eye effect (very slight and goes away after 3x and up). The weight is a little on the heavy side. It added enough weight to take my 16"carbine Bushmaster XM-15E2S to about 10.5 lbs. Not a deal breaker but noticeable. The magnification ring is a little stiff and a throw lever will be desired.Final thoughts - this scope shocked me at how good it is for the low cost. You'll spend near 1k to match it with another brand. With the warranty your $300 investment is protected for life. It's built tough, it's very clear and very functional as well as intuitive. Even pro shooter friends of mine are buying it because they can't justify the extra spend on the higher dollar models when this does so well at $300. Buy it and don't look back.
