[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 3097350, member: 10"] Have mounted quite a few of these scopes on customers rifles over the past year or so. I have been quite impressed with their quality and function. That said, we had some that functioned fine but could just not get reticle and image to focus together. Shot great, tracked great. Thought it may be just my eyes but the customer reported the same thing. Quick call to vortex, send it back, new one arrived within 10 days, no issues at all with that one. Great scopes for a low to mid power rifle. I would be a little cautious mounting one on a very large rifle with very effective muzzle brake, no idea how they would handle the negative G forces in that situation. May do just fine but for a mid power rifle, i would have no issues at all mounting one and using it. This next comment may stir the pot even more, been running the Venom 5-25x 56mm on four of my personal rifles in 22-250 AI, 260 rem, 7-08 and 284 win and could not be happier. Very similar to the Strike Eagle in function and features, just no illumination. For those applications, i would buy another $499 venom even over the Strike Eagle…….. that should get the vortex haters reved up!! 😳😁 [/QUOTE]
