Review Summary

Scope works as it should and looks great. Holds zero on my 300 win mag with ease. Turrets move nice and it's a good alternate option to the viper pst gen 2.

I would recommend this scope if this is your first time shooting long distance. I set this scope up on my Bergara B-14 HMR in . 308 win and this is my introduction to long distance shooting. So far I have used this scope at 100-300 yards and I'm happy with it for a beginner like myself. I know there's better rifle scopes like NightForce but for now just getting started in long distance shooting this rifle scope from Vortex is easy to use and love the warranty that Vortex offers.

The clarity on this scope is great. No issues dialing in and highly recommend this product

When helping new shooters build a RIMFIRE rifle that is affordable and can perform at long and short yardages, I highly recommend the Strike Eagle 5-25x56. It has the ability, with a 40 or 50 MOA scope base without the Rev-Stop, to perform at short (15 yards) AND long yardages (out to 450 yards), with turrets that are reasonably tactile, glass that is decent at this price point and has a reticle that is very easy to read.

Great scope for the price, works great. Very big so keep that in mind.

Very good scope glass very clear. Mounted on my Ruger RPR and have made some sub MOA groups with it using some of my reloads. I would recommend to remember to turn off the illumination reticule because it will die very fast. I would also say it isn't day light bright but rarely used/tested it. Would definitely recommend to anyone that's wanting to get a scope that doesn't break the bank and has good quality and warranty.

Great product. Relatively no issues for the 3 years I've owned it, other than the flip caps won't stay on snug.

vortex always has great products and this scope is the same. the reticle type is new to me and takes some getting used to but functions well and has clear glass

If you're hunting or shooting on the range, this scope does it all. I can hit targets out to 725 yards consistently using this scope on my AR. My one gripe is that the scope covers easily fall off.

This scope blew me away, the features, adjustablity, clarity and quality for the price is second to none! This scope competes with others way outside its price range. I bought it for my 6. 5creedmore hunting rifle and due to some life events didn't get to go on that hunt and ended up putting it on my custom precision . 22LR for precision tactical shooting and I couldn't be happier. This scope is awesome and will not leave you haning or wishing you got something "better". While the Viper and Razor line offers better glass and features, if you can't afford that you wont be upset with this scope at all. If you don't need the locking turrets or lit reticle the Venom is also a great option in my personal experience (my primary hunting partner has the venom on all his kids hunting rifles and we have plenty of time and harvests behind that scope).

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.

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.
While embarking on your journey to enhance your long-distance shooting skills, the 5-25x56 FFP Strike Eagle Riflescope, Matte Black with Illuminated First Focal Plane EBR-7C MRAD Reticle, Side Parallax Focus, 34mm Tube, presents itself as an indispensable tool. This high-performance riflescope offers superior edge-to-edge sharpness, complemented by a first focal plane (FFP) illuminated reticle, ensuring quick and accurate readings across all magnification levels and lighting conditions.
The Strike Eagle Riflescope is designed around a robust 34mm tube, providing ample room for extensive elevation and windage adjustments. It also features a rapid magnification change throw lever, transforming it into a formidable long-distance shooting apparatus.
The EBR-7C (MRAD) reticle, with its hash-marked design using MOA or MRAD-based subtension lines and floating wind hold dots, facilitates precise ranging, holdover, and windage corrections. The reticle's subtensions are protected between two layers of glass for optimal durability and reliability.
The riflescope's XD Lens Elements, crafted from extra-low dispersion (XD) glass, enhance resolution and color fidelity, delivering crisp, sharp images. The proprietary fully multi-coated lenses increase light transmission, thanks to multiple anti-reflective coatings on all air-to-glass surfaces.
The first focal plane reticle's scale remains proportional to the zoomed image, allowing for accurate holdover and ranging at all magnifications. The glass-etched reticle design is intricate and the illuminated reticle ensures precise aiming in low-light conditions.
The Strike Eagle Riflescope is built to last, with an ArmorTek ultra-hard, scratch-resistant coating protecting the exterior lenses from scratches, oil, and dirt. Its shockproof construction withstands recoil and impact, while waterproof O-ring seals prevent moisture, dust, and debris penetration, ensuring reliable performance in all environments. The fogproof design, achieved through nitrogen gas purging, prevents internal fogging over a wide range of temperatures.
The 34mm tube diameter maximizes internal adjustment and strength. The side focus adjustment, located on the left side of the turret housing, is easily accessible from the shooting position, providing optimal image focus and parallax removal.
Constructed from a solid block of aircraft-grade aluminum, this riflescope offers strength and rigidity. The matte anodized finish is corrosion and wear-resistant, providing a low-glare matte surface that helps camouflage the shooter's position.
The tactical locking turrets integrate a locking mechanism to prevent accidental adjustments, providing fast, accurate, and easily read elevation and windage adjustments. The fast focus eyepiece allows for quick and easy reticle focusing. The included throw lever can be installed for quick and easy magnification adjustments, while the patented RevStop Zero System offers an easy to set, rock-solid return to zero after turret adjustments.
