I just picked up a new 1-6 Strike Eagle for just over $400 - not sure that extra 2x magnification is worth the 50% increase. I found this about the reticle:

Vortex claims a true-1x power on the low-end of the Strike Eagle 1-8 power scope, allowing for increased speed in the acquisition of close range targets. The new 1-8x Strike Eagle scope will use a new AR-BDC2 reticle which is similar to the AR-BDC reticle used in the 1-6 power version of the Strike Eagle. Vortex announcement states that the AR-BDC2 reticle sensibly utilizes subtensions that match the ballistics of the most popular AR-15 caliber, 5.56 NATO. The AR-BDC2 reticle also features a center target dot with a surrounding halo that allows for fast targeting at the lower power range of this optic.

New or used? Where? I need to know for science...

an 8x scope would be sweet tho.

I have heard the old 1-6 was pretty fish-eyed, is the new one better in that respect?

What do you mean by fish eyed? I own the 1-6 and its a decent scope for what you pay.

You know how a go pro video looks, compared to a normal video shot with a phone or camcorder? Kinda like that.

Honestly I have zero experience with them, just something I've seen online more than once...

True. I honestly have not noticed that at all. I will pay more close attention to it next time i look thru her

You heard wrong. Its a great 1x with no weirdness about the view at all, and the 6 is nice too.

 

[Redblack]

I'm happy with my 1-6, I'll probly look at picking up a 1-8 as well. The bad reviews are folks trying to compare them with $1000 plus optics.

 

[skatemike77]

I just looked at my 1-6. But this time REALLY looking through it. And i can sorta sense the fish eye stuff on x1... its hard to notice unless you really look for it and focus on it but its certainly there. But again for this price point the scope is a great buy.

 

[MG4A6]

Can someone post if they find a review please. Really hope this 1x8 is better then the 1x6.

Got mine a week ago. For anyone in SK near Regina who wants to take a look through it shoot me a message. I'm happy to help. I'll omit the pros the only con I've found is the eyebox on max power (actually 6x and up) is kind of unforgiving you have to really be in the right spot to have a good sight picture. Other than that, I'm really happy with it. The glass is good for what it is and the fish eye is much better than the 1-6 (looks to me).
