Do you guys know when the vortex strike eagles 1-6 will be in and would you have a price on them yet ?saw one at the tradex show and it looks real good , the redicle is nice and bright no problem seeing that one . I want one of those for sure. The vortex reps figure this one will be a top seller for them and I see why.
 
Vortex tells us June for these, around a price point of $460ish (tbd at that time due to the dollar's trickery). We can't take any pre-orders on these, but we do have a whooooole bunch on order, and we will open them up here on CGN as soon as they arrive!
 
I'm curious what the negatives of this scope are, because I can't seem to find any based on the specs provided by Vortex.
 
I'm assuming it won't be true 1x, fishbowly, and not overly high resolution. I'm still hoping though and will probably buy one.
 
The only "downside" I can see over the viper PST line is the lack of larger exposed turrets.

If the optical quality is decent, these are going to be the bees knees. Hell, I'm thinking of selling my 1-6 gen II razor to buy two or three of these.

i've yet to see ANY variable scope that is TRUE 1x.

From my (limited) understanding of optics, i was under the impression that it was impossible. There will always be some distortion (albeit VERY minor) at the 1x setting.

True 1x resolution is one of their main claims apparently. They are saying 100yrd parallax I believe as well. I'm in for one if this scope is anywhere near what they claim!
 
I looked at these ate shot show and did a side by side comparison with the Viper PST 1-4 and in my personal opinion the Strike Eagle is hands down as good if not better that the Viper PST for my purposes.

Looking forward to seeing this released here, it will be great for 3 Gun.
 
I handled this scope at SHOT and I was pretty impressed. I think you're crazy if you sell a Razor HD II to buy one though. They are not in the same league. The Strike Eagle is a great scope, but there's a reason that the Razor HD II is more money. You get what you pay for.
