Vortex Strike Eagle 1-6x

Burk Cornelius · Jul 27, 2015

Has anyone had their hands on the new Vortex Strike Eagle? It is the new 1-6x24offering from Vortex and at $329.00 looks like it might be a good option for some people who can't drop a grand on a scope

I bet Jesse even has a discount code for it.....

If someone wants to do a full in-depth review, we would make you famous in the internet world of reviewing things.

I will let you know in 5-7 weeks. We ordered one for the wife's rifle last week.

Didn't Jesse post a picture of one on FB the other day/week? I think that he already received 1 (or 6).

I will review it but who knows when i'll actually get my hands on one.

I pre-ordered it in June. When I originally ordered it, it stated expected delivery in July. Now it says expected delivery of December. Looks like it may be my Christmas present.

it will be like looking through a coke bottle filled with the piss of a cirrhosis patient.

1-6 for under $300 thats worth a ****? feel free to slap ya selves for me.

Vortex rep said the glass doesn't even come close to the clarity of the viper 1-4

Well my Viper 1-4 did have really nice glass. That's a disheartening comment.

At nearly 1/2 the cost, I don't see how you could expect it to be as clear as the Viper 1-4. But from what I have been told by a few that saw them at SHOT, it's still better than many competitors in it's price range.

I'm still planning to buy one.

mike cyrwus · Jul 28, 2015

I probably would too, for the price, and since I suck enough for it not to really matter, lol.

I saw one at H&H today. I could not believe they had one for sale. The glass is not as clear as my Viper 1-4. I don't like the reticle as well either, however I do like the 6 power.

Bass Pro Shops in Ft Lauderdale shows that they have these in stock. I'm headed to Hollywood, FL today for work. I'll check it out while I'm there and see if I can get pics.
