Vortex Strike Eagle 3-18 FFP - Post Match Review

[@Moose_338]

This is why I love your channel, you try out AND actually run the more budget stuff in a real match unlike some that look through it, fire a handful of round at the range and then review it

[@OhMyVideology]

the 18 has a 45Mill elevation and 25 has 31Mil, also on 18 it has 10mil per rotation and 25 has a 18mil per rotation - 3-18x44 preferred

[@JM10344]

Nice. I love how you do budget builds and high-end builds.

[@danielventer882]

As someone who just spent days wondering and stressing about budget optics, this video came out just at the right time!

[@PROutdoors94]

Yes I’d love to see a video on how to setup your scope for perfect eye relief!

[@bretttaylor3723]

Triple taps=YES

[@Fernczy]

So this 3-18 would be good on a .308 big game rifle? I'm looking for a new optic for my winchester model 70

[@CyclopsJoeVideos]

Awesome Review Man !!! Great Editing also

[@SniperSheldon]

The Strike Eagle torture video was great. And best was it survived!

[@VeldBurger]

Point taken Piet. Now I want one. Aaaag yes please. Do a eye relief special. One that fits and works when shooting of hand as well from the prone position.

[@rphash49]

I have this on a 6mm arc gas gun and it's excellent and in my opinion hit above it's price point.

[@rolandbubb3398]

I have had my 5-25 for awhile now and am really pleased with how it performs. I first looked at the Tract Toric, but it was twice the price. FYI my Strike Eagle sits on a Savage 110 with a 20" Criterion barrel in an MDT LSS-XL chassis. My build was inspired by your 20" build. Love it.

[@42N8_1]

The Tract Toric is not Chinese made and it uses SHOT glass. It is a different category of scope.

[@sampreston8548]

I would definitely love to see all of these videos, as im looking at getting the strike eagle 5-25 for my Rem 783 build

[@richardwalker68]

Might be a good scope for PRS 22... Better view of the Xmas tree at lower magnification? Like x12 or x15? Full magnification reduces the field of view. Sometimes you are panning around looking for the target. A little bit less aberration with a smaller objective. I'm currently looking at the Vortex Strike Eagle 3-18, the Element Titan 3-18 and the Athlon Ares ETR 3-18.

[@commonsense5709]

Athlon Ares ETR is the best Chinese made scope that money can possibly buy out of the 3 you listed and likely to be the most reliable too. The Strike Eagle is the cheapest when you buy them on sale.

[@richardwalker68]

@@commonsense5709 I ended up with an Athlon Helos 4-20x50. Nice glass, great turrets, illuminated and a good reticle. It seems to track pretty well. I'm happy with it and recommend it, particularly for rimfire. A little more magnification would be handy for centrefire.

[@bigcheesedog2645]

This is my current pick to put on my new rig, but I am a hunter first, adding target to learn how to shoot at extended range. But this rig will have to hunt how useful is the illumination function. I am concerned about losing the fine crosshairs in a brushy environment or at low light.

[@ronws2007]

People wonder how these handle on an AR platform. I have a Venom on my Windham Weaponry R16SFST-308 and it does just fine. I put a round in the exact center of the crosshairs at 100 yards, which was my POA.The Venom is essentially a Strike Eagle without illumination. Also, a few less MOA but the expectation is that it is for long range and you will shoot with a 20 MOA canted rail.

[@stefanschug5490]

I find 3x is the lowest magnification at which running game can still be safely harvested. I shot wild boars at full speed with a 3 - 12x Zeiss in the past on that lowest magnification setting. 1x is hard to beat though for that particular purpose. As an all around scope this Strike Eagle 3-18x is just perfect. The 5-25x is more a specific toy for playing around long distance target shooting. My Strike Eagle 3-18x is teamed with an Oberndorf Mauser 98 in .416 Taylor and a Premium Douglas barrel.

[@B_mount]

Another well put together video. Appreciate the content as always.

[@johanswart8116]

Wel that wil work for my hunting rifle. Have a 4-16 and looking for a scope that dials but also low zoom because we hunt karoo kudu. Its near shots and the kudu always runs full speed. So we need to shoot fast and compensate and you need a low zoom

[@chadperry4021]

I bet the ideal rifle for this scope would be a long range hunting/recreational rifle chambered in a laser of a cartridge like 6.8 western, 7 rem mag or 6.5 prc or 300 win mag.

[@williambrooks9115]

I was wondering if you could do a similar in-depth review on the Vortex Venom ? I've heard great things about it, and I believe your expertise and attention to detail would provide invaluable information for those of us looking to invest in a quality optic. Exploring its features, durability, performance, and any potential pros and cons would be incredibly interesting.

[@RubiconTSL]

What height rings are you using for this scope?

[@szabiableful]

Can i use a thermal clip on on the Strike Eagle series? I have a 6.5 cm and a 300 win mag. Are the scopes enough strong for clip on?

[@Allen338LM]

I have a 5-25 strike eagle i love it but this cost more that said i wish my big one had the elevation adjustment this one does that said getting one of these for my 20" DMR build

[@chrisavalos6618]

Which would be best for hunting?

[@camron1501]

Thank you.

[@fireman7522]

That would be awesome if you could do the eye relief

[@elmerrsv4]

Would like to see the side by side comparison, eye relief setting and I hope you’ll try a EC tuner brake someday! Really curious on your thoughts of that one. Great vid once again, thanks

[@soldermecold7456]

Awesome video. What type of bipod are you using? Very cool!

[@williamspencer4849]

I would like a video on getting eye relief setup correctly

[@IMPACTSHOOTING]

Coming up! Great idea!

[@williamspencer4849]

Thank you for doing the eye relief video

[@syednoori3799]

Great man, this is some quality video👍🏻

[@vikp6115]

How about you mount thst scope u tested and head out to ur match , will u still trust it. Will those turrets still be adjusting correct elevations 😅

[@CJ-ty8sv]

12:05 haha $200 USD isn't even close... The typical retail street price difference in the US is only $50 ($749 vs. $799) Granted with the Conversion (Rand to USD), we are paying less for both but damn, it must be nice to have $200 USD / $4000 ZAR difference between the two.

[@IMPACTSHOOTING]

When youre paying almost double the usd price it isn't 😂

[@CJ-ty8sv]

@@IMPACTSHOOTING True and when you look at it from a purely a percentage of difference aspect, I guess we are getting the better deal here because its about a 9% difference in cost for us vs. 8% difference for you guys over there.

[@tactikoolcloud8788]

How is the FFP reticle at 3X. I have a 6.5 Grendel that sits in a dual role for Blacktail hunting and DMR. Looking for an optic that is capable of both use cases. Granted there will be compromises.

[@Fluff361]

Thanks for the video

[@BendeWet-g1k]

Vervoer oom ook a Windhoek Namibië? Die good wat oom verkoop.

[@marcosablan]

Put on AR please!!! Looking to put this on a 16" SFAR

[@noeinauen1682]

Hello, btw i was wondring if you have checked out the vortex venom 5-25x56 scoop. Not to expensive and i think its a great bang fore the buck. Love the videos

[@conservativesniperhunter7439]

Deep dive between the two Vortex Strike Eagle scopes please 🙏.

[@flyniceguy]

Owning both the Venom and Strike Eagle I would say the Venom is a lot more bang for your buck. Yes the SE is nicer but at almost twice the price

[@Skiier2008]

PSA has the 3-18 Strike Eagle with mount for $299 right now

[@commonsense5709]

@@Skiier2008 Is $299 for the current FFP or the older SFP Strike Eagle? Where is it priced at $299? What exactly is PSA?

[@imstillaguy]

I got a xrs question for ya. I have one for my Remington 700 308 but when I put the mag in the lever that locks it into place pushes the bullet forward just enough it jams when trying to rack the bolt. Just curious if you ran into this issue.

[@christophercarr8717]

Are you going to be posting your Rock Chunk experience? Also I have been having major issues with my first MDT chassis and struggling with their customer service, they are trying to be helpful but hasn’t been. Any recommendations?

[@Alex-bt6jw]

Hi Pieter, why do you not install the zero stops on your scopes? How do you know where zero is, manually dial back after each dial?

[@DefZen343]

there are numbers on the turret, just dial it back to the number zero. no need to install the zero stop unless you have a need to bring it back to zero without looking at the scope.

[@patrickgjorven7832]

I actually give mine a mil extra in case I need to rezero for whatever reason. Saves me time and headache dealing with the zero stop and forgetting where the zero is.

[@daniejacobs6302]

Ai oom Piet. Sponsor tog vir my een van jou scope vir my man heheheh. 👍💪
