Vortex Optics’ Strike Eagle 3-18×44 FFP riflescope offers a lot of capabilities at an affordable price. Vortex Optics’ Strike Eagle 3-18x44FFP riflescope delivers the latter. The new Strike Eagle is lighter and shorter than its 5-25x56mm counterpart, and weighs in at 27.3 ounces. The 34mm tube is another happy compromise. It allows the scope to be mounted low to the bore, while still allowing for a lot of windage or elevation travel. Both the windage- and elevation turrets lock, but the windage is capped and the elevation turret can be seen for quicker field adjustments. Vortex’s RevStop zero system is also featured in the scope. The scope can also be fitted with either an MRAD or MOA-EBR-7C reticle. No matter which style you choose, all are illuminated and have the first focal plane. The Strike Eagle is priced similarly to other 3-18x riflescopes, and most of them have an SFP reticle. The FFP EBR-7C has a lot more range. Although they are not intended for close-range engagements the illuminated reticle, 10-yard minimum parallax range and illuminated reticle make them suitable for such situations. This is why durability is so important. The Strike Eagle is waterproof, fog-proof, and shock-proof to allow it to withstand harsh conditions. Anyone who sees a Strike Eagle will be impressed by its glass quality and multi-coated lenses. Vortex headquarters was also available for the shooting of the Strike Eagle 3-18×44 FFP. Mounted on a Tikka.22, the scope was used for engaging small targets at various ranges to learn how to adjust the elevation and magnification. The Strike Eagle was capable of ringing steel no larger than a half-dollar even at 100 yards. The RevStop system’s large magnification throw lever and exposed elevation turret made it easy to crank the scope down and engage a closer target in a matter of seconds. It’s easy to see how this scope will excel at long-range shooting competitions where rapid adjustments are required.ConclusionThe new Vortex Strike Eagle 3-18×44 FFP might not be entirely unique in its capabilities, but what sets it apart is its cost. It is advertised at $849.99, which makes it significantly cheaper than comparable 3-18×44 FFP scopes. For those looking to get started in competitive long-range shooting on a budget, the Strike Eagle should have them gunning for gold.For more information, please visit vortexoptics.com.More scopesNEXT STEP: Download Your Free Storm Tactical Printable Target Pack62 Printable MOA Targets with DOT Drills – Rifle Range in YARDSThis impressive target pack from our friends at Storm Tactical contains62 printable targetsfor rifle and handgun range use.
