Haha I'm actually not sure if that's how it got its name, but it would sure make sense!

Hey thanks for the question! That scope’s not going to release until late Summer (July/August at
the soonest) with backorders potentially extending back from there. Please keep in mind that this is just a rough estimate and is open to potential change. The best recommendation I have is to get a pre-order in through one of our dealers so that way you'll be in line for when they start to ship out. I really want to thank you guys for your patience and don't hesitate to let us know if you have further questions. We would be happy to help. |

Any new updates on release dates? Anything other news on the scope?
|
|
|
Any updates on when we will be able to buy these new sights. Im getting impatient and the primary arms 1-6 is starting to look desirable.
|
|
Hey guys, still looking at about the same time frame- July/August before we start to see them. Again, that's just a rough ETA and that's just the initial shipments. The actual time frame could be sooner or later than that. We are also expecting this scope to be very heavily-backordered upon release. Thanks and please let me know if you have further questions. I would be happy to help.

I would rather all the details be perfect with an extended release date than a product rushed to market before it is ready.
My Razor 1-6 on my 3 gun rifle is superb and the only thing keeping me from putting one on several other rifles was price. Eagerly looking forward to this new 1-6 for another build. |

Have been contemplating the Razor but waiting till this one comes out. I placed the order and I got the notice saying it wasnt in stock yet but I appreciate the update. I was just thinking about this scope too. Well see. |

other than my aimpoint i have not scoped any other AR.
is this product geared for a 16" bbl or primarily 20" which is what i would assume because of the slightly higher magnification I Am trying to figure out if I want to scope up my sig 516 with this I love to see pictures of this outfit on a carbine with the vortex mount btw my PST 6-24x50 moa is pure sex. |

View Quote The Strike Eagle will work equally well on a 16" or 20" AR. Many people are planning to use it on their 18" ARs also. |

Will this work on an 18" LR308? I have the Viper PST 1-4 that I am switching between my LR308 and my AR15. Trying to decide whether to get another Viper PST or get the Strike Eagle.

Yes, some small quantities are shipping out this week. I was surprised by this. I thought it would be a little later in the summer. Thank you!
|

Awesome thanks for the update! Looking forward to getting one of these for my 22 trainer. Right now it has a HD gen II 1-6, but that has been for my 308 AR, which just arrived recently. I need to pull it off the 22 but using it in a match possibly tomorrow night and then on Tuesday.

Liberty Optics (http://www.libertyoptics.com/contents/en-us/d109.html#p553) Is taking pre-orders for these with a June 23rd ship date. They say you won't be charged if they sell out before they get to you.
(Liberty is a sponsor/well followed at Snipershide and is not a fly-by-night operation) |

Got an email from Primary that they were in stock and jumped on it. It says my order went thru and I got an invoice, so hopefully it worked!
Went back on to order one for my Dad and they were OOS |
|
WOW I jsut got an email that my order has shipped. I know PA is fast but this is ridiculous!
|
|
I bought one yesterday from AAoptics and it should be at my house tomorrow. Probably the best customer service of any optics dealer I have dealt with. Best prices around too. I can't wait for this scope to show up. for the price tag I'm not sure it can be beat!

Eye relief is very nice. I shoot nose to charging handle and with it in that mount its about perfect. I have only zero'ed it as of now but I hope to put some more rounds through it in the morning
|
|
Can you try to take some reticle pics with the illumination off, half, and fully on? Do it at 1x please.
|
|
I got to play with Paul Kendall's Strike Eagle this weekend and it was pretty cool. You guys did a great job.
|
|
Thank you for the feedback, we really appreciate it! Next time you see Paul K, give him a hard time for us
|
|
We will try to have some reticle pictures for you guys soon. We are working on getting some higher quality ones so it will take just a little longer.
|
|
Are there any caps in the Vortex line of scopes that would fit the Strike Eagle but have retention cables attached?

Nice Job
Vortex should buy those photos from you and put them up ....and thanks much |
|
Gruntsoldier,
What offset is your mount? I'm not sure I like it mounted on the handguard rail and the receiver rail. |
|
Thanks for sharing those! Looks like you did a really good job with them.
