At Vortex Optics, the need for high-performance, precision optics is the driving force behind all that we do. Speed and versatility\u2014that\u2019s what 1x variable optics offer AR shooters who need to engage targets from point-blank out to extended ranges. And that\u2019s exactly what you\u2019re going to get with Vortex\u2019s Strike Eagle 1-6×24.<\/p>\n

The Strike Eagle 1\u20136 x 24 riflescope uses a fast focus eyepiece, designed to quickly and easily adjust the focus on the riflescope\u2019s reticle. To adjust the reticle focus, look through the riflescope at a blank white wall or up at the sky. Turn the eyepiece focus dial in or out until the reticle image is as crisp as possible. Try to do this quickly, as your eye will try to compensate for an out of focus reticle. Once this adjustment is complete, it is not necessary to re-focus every time the scope is used. However, as your eyesight may change over time you should re-check this adjustment periodically.<\/p>\n

Warning: <\/strong>Looking directly at the sun through a riflescope, or any optical instrument, can cause severe and permanent damage to your eyesight.<\/p>\n

Windage and Elevation Adjustments<\/h3>\n

The Strike Eagle incorporates precision finger adjustable elevation and windage dials with audible clicks.<\/p>\n

To make adjustments:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Remove outer caps.<\/li>\n
  2. Turn the adjustment dial in the appropriate direction Up\/ Down or Left\/Right indicated by the arrows.<\/li>\n
  3. Move the dials in the direction you wish the bullet\u2019s point-of-impact to change.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The clicks are scaled in \u00bd minute of angle measurements (MOAs) so each small click will move the point of impact \u00bd MOA. Note: \u00bd MOA equals .53 inches for each 100 yards of distance (14.55 mm at 100 meters).<\/p>\n

    1 MOA (2 clicks) equals:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • 1.05 inches at 100 yards (29.1 mm at 100 meters)<\/li>\n
    • 2.1 inches at 200 yards (58.2 mm at 200 meters)<\/li>\n
    • 3.15 inches at 300 yards (87.3 mm at 300 meters)<\/li>\n
    • 4.2 inches at 400 yards (116.4 mm at 400 meters), etc.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Example: At a 50-yard sight-in distance, it will take ten clicks to move a bullet\u2019s point-of-impact 2.65 inches.<\/em><\/p>\n

      To change the magnification, turn the magnification ring to the desired level.<\/p>\n

      Parallax Adjustment<\/h3>\n

      The Strike Eagle 1-6×24 riflescope is non-adjustable for parallax correction and is set from the factory to be parallax-free at 100 yards (90 meters). When shooting at distances other than 100 yards, using good consistent shooting form and cheek weld will prevent most problems with parallax.<\/p>\n
