Low Power Variable Optics (LPVOs) are some of the most popular riflescopes currently on the market. While there are lighter and less expensive options, nothing quite matches the versatility that an LPVO can offer a competitive shooter or even a hunter. The new Vortex Strike Eagle 1-8×24 FFP riflescope is just the latest offering from Vortex and incorporates all the latest developments in the LPVO market and also comes in at an attractive sub $1000 price point.
Meet the NEW Vortex Strike Eagle 1-8x24mm FFP Riflescope
The Strike Eagle 1-8×24 FFP riflescope is made from aircraft-grade aluminum, features capped turrets to keep your zero locked in during dynamic shooting, and includes a dedicated throw lever right from the factory for making quick and consistent magnification adjustments on the fly. The internals of the new Strike Eagle 1-8×24 FFP are finished off with Vortex’s XD the Optical System which features fully multi-coated lenses to deliver a crisp sight picture for use in a wide variety of shooting situations.
Featuring red dot-like performance at 1x and consistent holdovers through its entire magnification range, the new Strike Eagle® 1-8×24 FFP is guaranteed to make your range days better.
Powering the Strike Eagle® 1-8×24 FFP is the EBR-8 illuminated reticle, which provides bright illumination for red dot-like speed at 1x and precise holdovers out to 600 yards specifically designed around the .223/.556 caliber. Combined with the First Focal Plane optical design and built-in ranging feature, this becomes an extremely versatile and accurate optic. Speaking of illumination, the scope has 9 daylight and 2 night-vision settings, allowing you to dial the center interrupted circle and dot to exactly match your lighting conditions.
The new Vortex Strike Eagle 1-8×24 FFP riflescope is available now through Vortex’s various dealers for an MSRP of $799.99. What do you all think of this new LPVO offering? Let us know down in the comments! If the optic has a true daylight bright reticle then this is one to keep an eye on! The EBR-8 reticle also looks very promising for competitive shooters who are looking for something that will work in a wide variety of situations and lighting conditions.
