Vortex Strike Eagle 1-8x24 is a versatile hunting and sporting riflescope with an illuminated AR-BDC3 reticle in the second focal plane and a lever for rapid magnification adjustment.

The second generation of Vortex Strike Eagle riflescopes introduced several important design changes that enable faster target acquisition, shooting at both short and long ranges (up to 595 m) and rapid magnification changes after each shot.

Construction resistant to recoil and weather conditions

The one-piece tube is machined from a single piece of 6061-T6 aircraft-grade aluminium, providing resistance to recoil, corrosion and mechanical damage.

The anodised tube has a highly durable anti-reflective finish that helps prevent scratching and surface wear.

Precise sealing and dry-nitrogen purging completely eliminate internal lens fogging and provide IPX7 protection, meaning the riflescope is resistant to rain, snow and immersion in water.

The 30 mm tube provides a wide vertical and horizontal adjustment range (140 MOA), allowing shooting at distances of up to 595 m.

The external lenses feature a hard and durable ArmorTek coating that protects them against scratches, dirt, moisture and oils.

This construction means that the riflescope can be used safely in all weather conditions without concern about damage to the optics.

A practical zoom lever is fitted to the eyepiece, allowing rapid magnification changes between shots.

Bright, sharp image

The riflescope uses XD glass lenses with low dispersion, providing excellent resolution and contrast. Another advantage of this glass is its relatively low density, which helps reduce the weight of the optics.

One feature that distinguishes the Strike Eagle from market competitors is its high light transmission, which helps maintain image brightness even in poor lighting conditions.

Multi-layer anti-reflective coatings are applied to all air-to-glass surfaces. As a result, the image is bright and sharp from edge to edge, offers high resolution and faithful colour reproduction, and the target remains clearly visible even at the full 6× magnification.

Illuminated second-focal-plane reticle

The Vortex Strike Eagle 1-8 × 24 uses an illuminated AR-BDC3 reticle in the second focal plane. A second-focal-plane reticle does not change size as magnification changes, so it does not obscure the target at higher magnification.

The AR-BDC3 reticle accounts for the ballistics of .223 Rem ammunition.

The angular values used for corrections are accurate at maximum magnification. At 1× magnification, the illuminated reticle works like the aiming dot of a red dot sight, allowing dynamic shooting at close range.

The aiming point has 11 illumination levels. The wide adjustment range supports comfortable use regardless of lighting conditions.

To provide maximum durability and reliability of the optical system, the reticle is laser-etched and protected between two layers of glass.

The generous eye relief (89 mm) helps keep the shooter's eye relaxed because it does not have to adapt to the field of view when acquiring the target.

It also allows comfortable use by people wearing corrective lenses and helps protect against recoil from large-calibre firearms.

Wide adjustment range

The reticle is adjusted using capped, low-profile turrets with knurled covers that can also be operated while wearing gloves. One turret click moves the reticle by 1/2 MOA (14.55 mm/ 100 m). The full reticle adjustment range is 140 MOA vertically and horizontally.

Vortex Strike Eagle 1-8 × 24 is a versatile and reliable LPVO riflescope that is particularly well suited to driven hunts and dynamic 3Gun shooting.
