It should be here tomorrow per the tracking number. |

I'm easily getting hits on 19x19 steel at 300 and 400 yards with a stock Stag 3T, 193 ammo, and my Strike Eagle. It's a little big and bulky but they apparently did their homework on the reticle drops. Almost too easy.

Finally FO'd. I knew I'd use those $30 of SPG gift cards from November before they expired friday.
Enrolled myself as a new customer to use the 20% off, which more than offset the (rape) shipping cost of $20. Yes to free trial of buyers club. $258 to my door...basically a free mount 
ETA: EBates just knocked off another $10. Getting a good deal is fun. |

Saw these in stock on optics planet earlier today. Ordered the scope and the vortex 2" offset mount. About two hours later got the email saying they were back ordered 2-4 months. Promptly cancelled the order. 10% discount not worth the wait that might actually be 6 months or more.

Just got mine, it's nice but honestly I prefer the reticle on my Primary Arms 1-6 so I'll be selling my Strike Eagle. Nice scope, good glass, reticle just isn't as good as the primary arms.

Couldn't pass up 12% off so I ordered today. Picked up a cat tail as well which was basically free. Alao ordered a Larue LT104. That will complete my 300BLK SBR with the exception of the can. Still waiting on a F1 approval for that though.

Just got my Strike Eagle delivered from USPS a few hours ago. Late Christmas present from the wife. She ordered the last one that Kenzie's Optics had from Amazon. Love the glass and the illuminated reticle. Now it is time to decide on the mount. I am thinking a 2 inch offset should do fine with the eye relief. Seems like a solid scope. Hopefully I can get some range time next weekend after I select a mount....the wait is going to KILL me....

After reading/seeing all the positive reviews on the Strike Eagle I went ahead and ordered one from SG for a good price . I've owned/used scopes on other rifles (bolt action/AR-10), but never for a AR-15 platform, so I'm kinda excited to try it out. Here lately I've been focused on getting my long range rifle and SBR's set up. I've never thought about putting a magnifying optic on one of my standard rifles, but I've decided that I want to give my midrange rifles some love. It's probably going to go on my 16" Troy/YHM build or my 16" DD/Aero build. I haven't really decided yet, but regardless I'm sure I'm going to really enjoy it.

Are you guys that are already running them satisfied with the glass? I looked through one at gander mountain this morning and really liked the clarity and the fact that it is true 1x but it seems there was some unusual distortion in the one I looked through. Could also be my eyes deceiving me with the awkward plastic stocks they have them mounted to on their display. Regardless, I think I've found my eotechs replacement.

They do not have a parallax adjustment but do have a diopter adjustment. If he didn't adjust it that could explain why it seemed distorted to him? I have one and the clarity after dialing in to my eyes is outstanding for this price. |

It's not a high-end or low-end thing. It's not well known, but a fact that in all magnified optics adjusting the diopter will affect actual magnification to some degree. So, if you want to get the best true 1x you need to play around with the diopter until it looks like a true 1x to your eyes. |

Got one last week at Gander locally.
I compared it to the Bushnell 1-4x24 that runs $199 retail since I have one from when PSA was selling them dirt cheap. The glass is considerably better on the Strike Eagle to my eyes. I have mounted it but not shot with it yet. But so far, I'm liking the quality/price ratio. I like the reticle a lot. The only thing I've noticed that seemed to indicate it was a price point scope is the machining quality on the turret cap threads and the finish right around that area. Compared to my Viper PST you can tell the Viper is a little bit better fit and finish. So far it appears to be a quality optic at a great price. Having simple capped turrets I'm sure kept the price down and are not really needed on a scope with a ranging type reticle. |

Question for you guys with the Strike eagle.... went to the range yesterday for a short "sighting" in of my new scope and irons. I mounted the SE on a Burris PEPR mount, pretty much flush with the back of the upper.
At ~35 yards it was getting about a 1.25" group 1" high on the dime-sized bullseye. I figured I could lower it but I would take it out to 100 yards and fine tune from there. Well, I couldn't even put it on the target at 100 yards. I ended up running out of light (and tired of trekking 100 yards through the snow) so I gave up moderately PO'd that I was so off. Now I suck at math, but by my calculations, it shouldn't be off by more than 4-5", on the high side, so it should still be on the target. (10" hi-vis) Is my math just that off? Never had this much of an issue with zeroing in a rifle.... hell, I could put my 22lr on the plate at that distance. |
