Vortex Golden Eagle

[Remmy700]

so I pretty much don't like any vortex scopes although I have an Amg and gen 2 rzr. I just keep them around cause they are mounted and I got other stuff to worry about. I got a bench gun going on right now, u know just tinker toy and I need a high power scope and I keep seeing these golden eagle vortex scopes for good prices. And I admit I kinda like their reticle options. Anyone have some experience with them that would not mind sharing? Thanks fellows

My main concern is I have not seen any glass quality good enough from vortex to handle high mag glass. And also we all know the tracking issues the ol Amg has had.

If its capable of this, then it can't be too bad:

Any scope can do a great job , once . I require my junk to work every single time.

Too many crappy reviews on them so I bought a March High Master 10-60 instead.

Where are all the crappy reviews? I was doing some research on them after that world record was set with one, and I didn't see many crappy reviews on these scopes.

Can't remember now but I was looking at one about a year ago and found some reviews and comments on forums that said the glass quality was not very good. I am not a fan of Vortex anyway though so I was leaning towards the March either way.

If you say so. Just passing on info from what I remember. I have two Vortex now and I will never own another.

I've seen some crappy reviews on the march too. We should really all just own Tangent Thetas.

I would definitely like too look through a TT once before I spend that much. I have wondered if the glass is on par with S&B. So far the 2 March scopes have performed well for me and the glass is great.

TT's are significantly better than S&B - both the glass and the mechanics.

Remmy - the takeaway is they are not as good as March or TT apparently. I was just talking to a buddy who has been running a golden eagle on his bench rig for a year. He said he loves it. The guys is legit and has several higher end scopes, so take that for what its worth. I had the chance to shoot his set up 1x and I thought the glass was good enough.
