Here's my take. This scope is by far the best buy on the market for a great short to mid range and capable long range optic and heres why, for the cost this scope has everything you need such as clear glass, decent eye relief, true tracking and magnification throughout the range, to shoot short, mid, and long range. To find this in a similar power you would have to pay around the 1k mark, so I ask why would you? What you are giving up not spending a thousand dollars is perhaps having a true zero stop, and first focal plane along with real crisp turret adjustments. This scopes turrets are not mushy by no means just a little stiff and or tight but very workable. Now if you're a true scope snob and just want the best or shoot past 500- 700 yards then yeah going up to the $1500- 5k optic might make sense. But to call this just a entry level or beginner optic is not fair. Finally for under $500 there's a scope that fits right at home on a $500 or a 3k rifle. I slip the scales to get and keep my zero on the knobs, so a zero stop, real klicky adjustment knobs and a front focal plane reticle isn't worth spending another 600 to 1k dollars to me, might for you. So if your on the fence or asking yourself if this scopes clarity is bad, does it track and is the magnification good, I say and recommend to you buy this scope.

I have several different vortex scopes and like everyone of them. Vortex is by far the best scopes for the price range that they r in. The strike eagles are a lot of scope with lots of features for under 500.00. And I’d buy another one in an instant.

Great price for $300 (lowest online) you can't go wrong.Great clarity @24 , I can see gnats at 100yds with this scope. Mounted on a 6.5 grendel and holds zero great,plus it was easy to dial in.

I bought this scope for a 6.5 Grendel. I plan on using it for varmint hunting. I have been to the range several times with it and I am very pleased! Turrets work very good and for the money glass is awesome. Don’t get me wrong, the glass is not as good as my Nightforce or my March. But for the price you cannot beat it!

Very good scope for the price. Clear optics, nice turrets that are easy to see and adjust and all he adjustments at 100 yards sighting in were spot on. Have not had a chance to try past 100 yards but all the Vortex products that I have perform beyond my expectations. Vortex customer service is also second to none.

I don't know why these are discontinued, they are great scopes. 4-24 is a great range, the glass is clear, adjustments are true, and it holds a zero.
I stopped using optics planet because I'm pretty sure they deliver with a horse and buggy, it takes a few weeks. Shipping with Euro only takes a couple days, it's always fast/ prompt.

Is a good basic entry level scope. Glass is ok for the price and is decently clear. Two main gripes that are annoying but forgivable: 1) parallax knob has no yardage markings and 2) windage and elevation knobs are stiff and not very smooth. Overall it’s a vortex and you can’t really go wrong with these guys

This is the fourth purchase of this scope. I like it so well, I've replaced three Viper PST scopes on my precision rifles. Savage 10BA Stealth 6.5 Creedmoor, Custom built Savage 110 LRH 6.5x284 Norma, and a Custom built AR10 6.5 Creedmoor. All three shoot 1/2 MOA or better with this scope. I finally decided to put one on my custom built AR15 platform. 224 Valkyrie that I use for long range varmint shooting. This scope is better than my PST, Nightforce, and Millett scope in comparable focus lengths. Pulls in more light, clearer view, and I really like the EBR-4 reticle. Watch for my used scopes because I'll be selling them.

The scope is great. Clear from 4-24, like the reticle, nice solid clicks on the turrets. The illuminated reticle is ok, haven't had a chance to use it yet. Definitely would buy again, especially at EuroOptics sale price. Best price I could find.

I mounted this on a 270 win. It holds zero perfectly and is a pleasure to use. The optics are very clear (I can see the bullet holes at 250yds) and gather light really well. The turrets have good positive tactial feedback and large clear numbers for dialing in MOA adjustments

I bought this Vortex Strike Eagle and I got to looking at the glass and comparing them to the Leupold, Bunshell Elite, Nikon Morarach And the Sig Sauer scopes and I counld not believe the glass that the Vortex had. I just sat back and thought what a dummie to have never bought a Vortex. Im buy another tomorrow. Its hard to beat these Vortex scopes. Ihad my scope dialed in in 4 shots. If your like I was don't be try one of these Vortex and you will be hooked. you cant beat them.

Clear glass even at x24 power. Can see .223 hole @100yds at x15 power. 1 of my best scopes. Best price found online. Thanks Euro optics.

For the money ive got a great target scope. Perfect for rimfire comp. Picture is as clear at low power as is at 24 power. Can not find any issues so far. As far as turret marks not lining up after you zero scope there are 3 very small flat head screws that you can loosen and align marks back with turret cap.

For this price, this is scope is awesome! I really like the zoom range of 4-24X, and it is too bad that Vortex is discontinuing this model. Like others have mentioned, the parallax adjustment is stiff and the hash marks on the turrets don't line up perfectly but very close. However, I like this scope so much, I have now bought 4 of them and hopefully I can buy another before they are gone.

This is probably the best long-range scope that I own. Its not a FFP scope but, I don't own one. All my scopes are SFP scopes. This scope is what I've been searching for. Light weight, full illuminated reticle, which is hard to find in any price point and, all the turrets are easy to adjust. This scope is definitely a keeper.

Let’s separate this review into 2 parts.
Product
I haven’t had it out in the field yet and it will be several weeks before I can put some lead downrange using this scope. So these will be my initial impressions.
The Product is a Vortex Strike Eagle 4x24x50MM scope. My first Vortex product. We won’t cover my fides because this review isn’t about me. We will say that I am eminently qualified and let it go at that.
On 4X the scope is clear with superb eye relief. Dialed up to 24X, it is the same. Clear (even out at the edges) and the eye relief is exactly the same. Excellent!
Most scopes, including Leupold, a number of years ago would shrink eye relief when you dialed up the magnification. Not this one. Perhaps the industry has improved their product since I last purchased a scope. Can’t say, but this product is excellent. If I run into reliability or durability issues later, I shall report it but initially, the scope is a well manufactured unit. I am pleased.
Dealer.
I’m not picky but I do require respect and courtesy. I received that in spades. Not butt kissing just respect and courtesy. I am a Pennsylvania boy and while I was raised on the city streets of the Burgh, I spent a lot of time in the woods. When I saw their address, I made the choice to give them a try. I was impressed with the service and courtesy. I mentioned that I was very familiar with the area due to business dealings with Piper in the past. We had a few laughs and sealed the deal. I made the buy. I didn’t negotiate any special shipping arrangements, yet he went out of his way to ship it out quickly and with 2 day.
I didn’t go wrong, And I don’t believe you will either

I put this on my Remington model 700 in 300 Winchester Magnum. Glass is super clear! Very crisp clicks, love the windage knob numbers. I haven’t used the illuminated reticle yet. Other than just turning it on and testing it. That will come in handy on those low light hunts. I am definitely satisfied with this scope. It has held up to the beating the 300 had given it!

Great price on the Strike eagle 4-24x50. Glass is fairly clear for the price. Not as clear as the razor line but a step up over the cross fire line. Sighted in quickly. No issues. Mounted it on my 18 inch 223 wylde. Thinking about adding it on my 16 inch psa 10 instead. Great scope for many different options.

Very fast shipping, And the scope is great. Clear at highest magnification. Got it mounted on my Savage 11, 6.5x47, on paper first shot, bulls eye 3rd shot.
Next step will be tracking test, so far I am impressed by the clarity through the complete mag range.
Service was superb. First time buyer, won't be the last.

The scope is clear through all the magnifications. The tracking works like it should. It's does everything it is supposed to do. I wish it had zero stop but for the price, I can't complain. Because they have been priced so well I have bought 4 of them.

Purchased two of these Strike Eagle 4-24X50 2FP, EBR-4 MOA reticle. One on a Savage 10T-SR/6.5CM, & one on a Savage 12FVSS/.308, both on 20MOA rails. Like second focal plane scopes, since I usually range with a laser rangefinder anyhow, the aiming "center" is quite legible at most distances. I zeroed both at 100yds., fairly easy with good click/movement adjustments. Slight wind & 35 degrees, went to 302yds.(open field), on a swinging 10" steel painted disc. With Strelok Ap, dialed up 14 clicks for the 6.5CM, hit dead nuts 6 for 6 with a little hold over for left to right wind, dialed up 17 clicks for the .308, hit 5 for 5(both factory target ammo). Revives your faith in science of ballistics with a quality scope. Glass good to 550yds., mounted both scopes in Burris Xtreme Tactical 30mm/"low" mounts, had to shave some off the front of the 20MOA picatinny rail for "tapered bell" interference, to get the scopes as low as possible to the barrel. Glass was clear at maximum magnification to the edges, and your can range with the reticle at 24X(only).Vortex bubble levels on both. Fast shipping on both, came well packaged, the Vortex factory box with the original factory wrapping, un-tampered with. Nice to do business with.

This is an amazing scope. Vortex always comes through for me. This is one of several Vortex products that I own. This scope is crisp, clear and consistent. The clicks though not the loudest or strongest I have felt or heard, they are very consistent. They make repeatable adjustments time and time again. The crosshair in the center are extremely fine allowing incredible visual affirmation of your target.

Overall, very happy with this scope so far. Glass is pretty good, great magnification range, turrets are tactile and track well, and the price was great. No other scope has this quality and features for the price. Sad that vortex discontinued the line. Only complaint is there is a small amount of distortion at the edge or "fish-eye" effect. Again, for the price/features, it's well worth it. I would put this just below the viper pst line. Wished I had bought it sooner.

I own three other Vortex scopes along with Leupold, Burris and Bushnell. All uses, AR's, 3 Gun, Deer and Elk hunting, but I like the Vortex the best for overall pricing, quality, warranty and glass clarity. The Vortex Strike Eagle 4-24x5 at the price Euro Optic sells it for is unbeatable.

have not shot it yet but the turrets are crisp the glass looks to be clear and bright throughout the magnification range. the reticle should be great for hold overs but only on x24 you cant beat the price

Bought to put on my Remington 7MM Mag or my New Weatherby First-Lite 30-06....Absolutely beautiful Rifle scope and even better than I thought it would be...Super bright with low light gathering and the reticle is amazing and perfect for precision shooting and easy to lock on target with. Cant believe the price and this is the second Vortex I own and completely happy with. This scope is of the same quality as scopes at double the cost or more...

After weeks of research and I cannot find a better scope for the money for my set up. I put this on a Christensen Arms CA-10 DMR in 6.5 CM caliber and it is a tack driver. I own Zeiss, Leopold, and Sig Sauer and this a better scope all around. Then you throw in the warranty and the price and it's a no brainer.

This is by far the best riflescope I have ever purchased. I had read other reviews on this one prior to purchasing and I must say I am beyond pleased. Having had many opportunities to shoot and zero in hunting rifles for friends that own some entry level Nightforce and Zeiss scopes I feel this one is on par with higher end scopes. Clarity is awesome even at 24 power. Am buying another one as well. Customer service at Eurooptic is top notch. My order was ready fro shipping in about an hour after it was placed and arrived at my door less than 72 hours later.

This is the third one I have purchased. This is my go to scope when building rifles. Most of the rifles I build are 500-600 yard rifles so the scope works excellent for that yardage. For the price and warranty you can't go wrong.

Renee
February 29, 2020
Absolutely the best scope I've owned for the money. This would be a great scope for 4 x the money. Very clear at all magnifications with excellent tracking at 100 yards. After seeing some people say the turrets are mushy I was surprised to find they are NOT at all. They were a little stiff at first but after turning them a few times they loosened up. The reticle is really nice and being illuminated doesn't hurt either. I will absolutely order another for my son and would recommend anyone to buy the Strike Eagle.

Mounted and shot on a Franklin Armory F17 (17 WSM). This is my second Vortex scope & not my last. This is an amazing scope at any price. This is my first illuminated scope and I'm glad I went with this. I'm 62 yrs old and my eyes needed this illuminated reticle. Very clear glass, easy to focus (knob was a bit stiff at first). I'm thinking of buying another for my 17 HMR.

I really like what I'm seeing so far. I've not gotten to the range yet but the glass is crystal clear. I own a Sightron SIII 10X50X56 also & this seems about as clear as my Sightron. As some had mentioned the parallax knob was really stiff but with a bit of effort worked well. I did find that at 24x the eye relief was a bit fussy to get a full sight picture. Other than that I've seen no cons as yet. I mounted this on a 20" 6.5 Grendel 5R Sanders Armory upper using the 20 MOA Nikon 16405 cantilever ring mount. Can't wait till the weather lets up so I can head to the range.

Vortex sells its self.This is the third one of the strike eagles I have bought and I love them. Im looking to buy one more. Plus you cant beat the service you get from Eurootic,there staff is great and always willing to help. Ive replaced what I thought was pretty good scopes. For the price you get these scopes for and the quality you get , you cant go wrong. I knowd when I bought my first Vortex scope I was going to buy more.These scopes have everything that you want, Ive checked the tracking on all 3 scopes and they track perfectly. Ive shot them at 100 and 200 then 300 yards and they are all dead on, you cant beat them. if youve never own one are had dealings with Eurootic try them, you will be happy, I promise.

Vortex strike eagle 4-24x50
December 1, 2019
Europtic is first class. The best price on the web for this scope and fast shipping. The scope itself is fantastic. I own 3 of these and they are just as good or better than my hs-t, not quite pst level though. If you are worried about these being discontinued, vortex confirmed they were discontinued because they could not keep up with demand so they pulled the plug. These are covered under their vip warranty so you are good to go. The only negative is eye relief is only 3.5 inches and there are no markings on the parallax adjustment- not a big deal. Take the plunge and get this glass, it will not disappoint.
