Your Thoughts on the Vortex Strike Eagle 5-25x56

[mooredj]

Hi All,

Just seeing if anyone owns and has used the Vortex Strike Eagle 5-25x56. I just picked one up in MRAD and will use it out to 1000yds later this year. Do you like it? I know it is out of China but with a lifetime warranty I figure you can't go wrong. My friend who builds custom rifles for long range use suggested it to me. I will have mine mounted shortly and when the weather warms up a bit will get to use it out to 200yrds at first. I will let you know how it goes. Through the FFL I use I got this for $600.

I have it on my 45-70 lever Henry and a Cooper 22LR. I am happy with the scope

Have one on my Savage110 6.5 cred works great good clear scope.

I have one on my 300WM and have taken it to 1000yds. So far no complaints.

I had a new one sitting in the box when my Vudoo 22 arrived. Installed to get shooting right away and haven't felt the need to switch yet. No issues. I will upgrade, but have been tied up.

I have one in my 6.5 Creed, it is bright and so far since I got it have only tested out to 200yds, but will be opening it up here very soon. So far, I like it.

It's solid for the price. The turrets are more robust than the pst Gen 2. I have a Arken sh4 Gen 2 a ep4 and a DMR2 to compare it to. I told a buddy today how I felt about it compared to the Arken ep4 6-24, I told him the strike eagle is the leather loaded pick up truck, the Arken is the work truck series.
Both new trucks but the strike eagle is a more refined design in my opinion. It's a pretty nice 700$ scope. I'm not getting rid of it to buy a another Arken. I'd probably pick up another DMR2 if I was going to spend 7-800$ though.

I have the 5 x 25 x 56mm MOA Venom mounted on Weatherby Vanguard 25-06. Have only taken it to 400 yds so far. I'll probably only take to 1000 just for kicks. Loving it…no problems at all

I've had 2 neither one had the hash marks line up in 120 clicks I was a mark off.

Bought three of them. Surprised how clear they are for the money. Put one on a. 300 weatherby out to 1,0000 yards. Shoots fine not a pst gen Ii but good for the money.
34mm tube has advantages. The zero stop will work but not as robust as the pst gen II

I now use mostly Kahles and Night Force but bought a Strike Eagle for use in 22 matches. I have to say it's probably the best scope for the money I have seen in a very long time. I actually much prefer it over a Viper PST Gen I I have on a .308. I'll probably put this on the .308 and sell the PST.

I put one on my Valkyrie and am pleased with it on all accounts.

David, I put my first 34mm milrad strike eagle on my custom 284 LRR and love it. Clear as a bell, easy to fine focuse, dials sharp with clicks/ pop up caps, easy zero stop. A must on LR shooting, FFP Christmas tree in mrad , You made a excellent choice for the money spent.
