Pro tip: finding your proper and consistent cheek weld definitely helps with centering your picture and getting your best field of view. Just something I got used to over time with practice. One thing I’ve noticed is that the higher up I go in magnification, the tighter my eye box is. The Vortex Strike Eagle 4-24×50 can handle it. I don’t have to worry about heavy recoil. In fact, it’s comparable to Vortex’s Diamondback in this regard. The eye relief is generous at 3.5 inches. This guide breaks it all down and explains MOA and MRAD reticles in a way anyone can understand. Understanding MOA vs MRAD can be confusing, especially if you’re just starting out. Different strokes for different folks, as they say. Since I usually am shooting at long range targets, this doesn’t impact me too much and isn’t that big of an issue for me. Well, the EBR-4 MOA reticle and subtensions can feel too crowded and busy at times mostly when I’m aiming at a close target.īut, that’s just my opinion. Personally, I think this optic is best suited for longer distances. Something else I wanted to mention is that Vortex says this optic is good for both close and long range distances. Now I can truly appreciate all that it offers. But, as with most new things in life, it just took a little getting used to. The EBR-4 MOA reticle can feel a little busy at first. Pair that with a generous sized objective lens and a detailed EBR-4 MOA reticle, and I can figure out things like wind drift and hold over in a cinch. That’s because the Vortex Strike Eagle 4-24×50 is in the second focal plane. My EBR-4 MOA riflescope SE-1627 reticle stays the same size no matter what distance I’m shooting from. I get precise shots each and every time, even in low-light conditions. This means I don’t have to worry about any accidental drops or blips impacting my glass because it’s protected and durable. In fact, the Vortex Strike Eagle 4-24×50 comes with 11 different brightness settings. Plus, the EBR-4 MOA reticle is glass etched and illuminated. See, the lens has anti-reflective coatings that make for optimal light transmission. But, it does have a friendlier price tag and, all in all, the lens clarity is still applaudable and comparable to other optics in this price range. There’s a lot of bang for not a whole lot of buck with this optic.Īt this price point, I’d say that the glass quality of the Vortex Strike Eagle 4-24×50 is pretty darn good.ĭoes it compare to the clarity and crispness of other high end brands like Leupold VX? It’s a top choice for close and mid range shooters too.


That said, the Vortex Strike Eagle 4-24×50’s wide magnification range makes this scope versatile. Plus, it’s perfect for long range and distance shooting. The Vortex Strike Eagle 4-24×50 is rugged, reliable, and reasonably priced. FAQ Here’s my Vortex Strike Eagle 4-24×50 review
