So I'm stuck deciding if I should wait for the vortex strike eagle 1-6 or to go with another product. What are your opinions on this? I'm looking for something around that price range.

Thanks guys
 
What's to say?

The razor dominated that market, the PST is a solid unit, and the strike eagle is somewhere in between with mag and decent optics for less cost.

I think its worth waiting.

I don't think you need others to help you. Find what matters most to you, look at the options, consider everything and make a decision.

Do you know of any pre orders for the scope as of now?
 
Well I decided not to wait and got a Sightron STAC 1-7x. A little more then what I would of paid for the Vortex, but such nice glass!

There's a optisan 1x6x24 for a touch over $600. Reviews are good but the reticle is a new design and seems a bit crowded. The glass is made in Japan but assembled in China, I believe .

I doubt the Strike Eagle will be as good quality as the PST. There is no way Vortex will sell a 1-6 scope for the same price (or actually lower) than the PST 1-4.
It will be a good scope for the money, I seriously doubt it will be better than the PST

From what I understand it's basically Diamondback quality glass/internals.
 
For those that have held it, will the small cross hair in the middle be large enough for more precise aiming at 100 yard and beyond? I have a Millett DMS right now and with the dot in the middle and the cross hair way out, it is hard to get a precise shot when working on accurate loads at 100 yards.

I was also considering the sight iron, but then saw it weighed in at a staggering 1.25 lbs and was over 1ft long. Not sure I want something so bulky on my ar.

Also it's twice the price of the strike eagle.

I've held it at Shot show. They designed this with 3gun in mind and I don't see 100yard shot as a problem.

The Vortex Rep at Wolverine Days said the actual price will be $475.

I liked the scope, but made the mistake of looking through side by side with a PST 2.5-10 which I was on the fence about anyway.

Leaning towards PST but the price on the strike is right. We'll see
 
I would love to find a place nearby to Ottawa where I could hold a PST up next to a Strike Eagle (and a Leupold VXR for that matter). It is hard to find anywhere around here where they have any scopes like this in stock, or even marked to be in inventory at any time.
