Anyone try the New Vortex Strike Eagle 5-25x56

Anyone try this new scope out from Vortex? Looks very appealing, especially for the price.

Yes got one a couple of weeks ago very clear may get another one soon. I like it better than my PST Gen 2.

It seems that with this vortex strike eagle 5-25x56, you're getting a scaled down Razor Gen2, for about half the price. Glad you said you liked it. I can get it with the military discount too.

Yes I got the MIL/LEO discount myself. The view is brighter I had both scopes at the range the other day I could tell the difference. Read the manual because when you use the zero stop ring you lose 1/2 the elevation turns.

The 110 MOA of total elevation is impressive, but the gotcha appears to be that if you install the zero stop ring, the dial is limited to two turns (47 MOA/18 MRAD of "dialable" elevation).

With 47 moa clicks for elevation, that should put me out past a 1,300 or 1,400 yrds. Plenty for the rifle I'm putting it on. Thanks for your input and advice!!

I have a 20 MOA rail on my Rem 700 5R Gen 2 308 so I can get out to a 1000 easy and then some. I used the Weaver Tactical 34 MM low rings 99682.
