It's built tough-I've had zero issues even after heavy use on . 300?BLK and 5. 56 rifles. And Vortex's VIP lifetime warranty gives peace of mind. If you're looking for a first LPVO or a dependable mid-priced optic, the Strike Eagle is hard to beat.

Scope gives me confidence every time I pull up to shoot. Good glass for a great price.

The dial stops on this unit has been flawless and the clarity is pretty incredible, especially considering the price point. I use this on my . 308 and 6. 5cm rifles in a gamut of training locations, the glass is clear enough to push out to over 1k yards with ease. Well done Vortex.

It is an excellent addition to the AR. It maintains accuracy with rough use and is great for quick throws on magnification. The only grip is how easily the throw lever unscrews from the scope and is in danger of falling out. The scope is excellent for entry-level rifles not looking to spend too much on a good scope. There are some discrepancies in the uniformity of the stenciled reticle, but you have to look for it.

Just recently added this scope onto my AR10, awesome optics can't wait to get out and shoot it. Price and warranty and previous ownership of 5 other vortex scopes has me staying with what works.

Okay for the money, not the best glass in that category

It's an amazing scope for the price. It's a little tall but I'll get use to it knowing it's going to be great! I haven't gotten to use it yet, still waiting for the right mounting kit but spring is here and ranges will be opening up soon to zero it in! It has a wide range where anyone could use it. Possibly a little heavy for a beginner depending on the gun it's mounted to but I think the optics will make up for that.

I put this scope on my 300 blackout rifle. I like to shoot pigs right below it gets dark. Scope lets a lot of light in and gives a great sight picture to harvest pigs

Excelente visor, lo tengo montado en mi Ruger 10-22 cal 22LR y es fantastico, he disparado a mas de 100 yardas sin tocar una regulacion, optica excelente y con el clima de este extremo sur donde vivo, ningun problem a -18°C su comportamiento excelente, y la reticula genial .

light weight and versatile on my new ar set up. Will definitely be using this scope on my future builds. as always Vortex never fails to provide quality products. mounting and sighting in was quick and easy. whether a beginner or expert this scope will get you the shots you are looking for on the range or out chasing small to medium game. as with any scope I'd advise a good set of rings, lined up and lapped.

An amazing scope for the price. Super high quality and capability of a scope that is priced much higher! The lifetime, unconditional warranty is also hard to beat!

I bought this for an AR 10, I had narrowed it down to a fixed 6 or this. I decided that while I would almost always shoot at x8 it might be nice to be able to back off to x4 for scanning.

Great optic for weekend shooters and even experienced ones too. I have used this in 3 tactical classes and banged this up and still no issue at all. Worth the purchase. Also if it ever fails lifetime warranty.

The Strike Eagle series of scopes has been a great scope for me. Yes it is not at the Razor series level, but it really is a good scope. Get it and you want be let down.

Not what it was designed for, but I have this mounted on a 350 Legend for deer in "straight-wall cartridge" states. It has performed great for the price point. The only thing I would change is the reticle, but I knew what I was buying going into it. I really like that I can crank it down to 1x or 2x while doing drives for close range shots and then dial it up to 6x or 8x to stretch out the range.

Great scope! I have several Vortex scopes. Slowly making my way up the line and I couldn't be happier with the strike eagle. Vortex has the best customer service I've ever received making my choices that much easier! If your on the fence choosing between companies you can't go wrong with these guys. Thanks again for the glass and service yall provide.

Yes it is FFP, the product description doesn't have that listed but it is FFP. Smoother operation than the 3-18 FFP strike eagle I have. Good glass quality. Had been debating going with the Arken equivalent of this model just due to price, but after getting a side by side comparison I think the vortex is the better option for this price range. Locking turrets were my main reason for taking this specific model over the PST model even though the PST has more adjustment. Just personal preference.

The scope is crystal clear and is going to be excellent for hunting medium to long ranges. I will be using it this upcoming hunting season out in the bad land looking for those longer rang shots, the illumination feature makes it so much easier to see the cross hairs when you are zoomed out all the way. if you have bad eyes this item is perfect, you might not be able to see the cross hairs on the lesser models but the illuminated cross hairs is without a doubt worth it.

So far I'm loving this scope. Though I've done minimal shooting with it, I've discovered that it is great with lower light ranges, tracking is smooth and excellent, reticle is clear and easy to see. Only thing I'm not sure about is that it feels heavy.

It lives on a Remington 700 308 it works so great I've pushed it out to 900 yards with no issues and even with wind the bullet holds are amazing super clear glass and big 56 mm bell so let's plenty of light in only gripe is I wish the elevation turret had marks to tell how many revolutions you've made but besides that I like the scope

I added this scope to my . 308 win and love how clear the optics are. The option to illuminated the reticle is awesome for low light situations. The quick zero stop is also great for adjusting quick adjustments when you have an animal pop up unexpectedly. This product is more for a mid range hunter but could also be great for beginners. Would recommend for anyone looking for a reasonably priced scope for longer ranges.

Used this quite a bit, dropped a couple times still zeroed. So far really good. :) Not sure how long ive had this tho its worked well for me. If it can survive the jungle, it can survive anything.

Using for Precision Long Range Shooting. The Glass is crystal clear, the Reticle is Perfect for Long range application, one of the best lighted Reticles I've use.

This is the first scope I got with long range in mind. I plan to start shooting some PRS matches and that's when I gravitated towards this scope. The quality of the scope is great. It feels rock solid and the glass is good as well. I haven't looked through the highest end scopes so I can't compare it to them but it seems super clear to my eye. There is a little chromatic adoration and purple fringing but those things don't really bother me. Overall, this is a great scope for the money and I am very glad I went with this optic!

Just got mine and shoved it into my Blaser R8 chambered in 30-06, those optics are exactly like Zeiss minus the price! Will continue with vortex!
Oh Baby!

It arrived today; unboxed and could not be more pleased. Next step will be mounting on the M1A Archangel. I will follow up this initial review after sight in and range time.
