Vortex Strike Eagle 5-25×56<\/strong><\/h2>\nThe new Vortex Strike Eagle 5-25×56<\/strong><\/a> has a lot of features that many long-range shooting enthusiasts desire. The main tube is 34 millimeters<\/strong> thick, which is a common feature of many top-tier tactical rifle scopes<\/strong> on the market.<\/p>\n[adrotate banner=”3″]<\/p>\n
Thanks to the bigger main tube diameter, the user now gets a bigger field of view<\/strong>, and what is most important for long-range shooting \u2013 much more elevation travel.<\/strong> If we compare it to the more expensive Vortex Viper PST Gen. 2 5-25×50<\/strong><\/a> rifle scope, the Strike Eagle features 40 MOA (12 MIL)<\/strong> more elevation, which is astonishing. This makes an entire elevation range of 110 MOA or 32 MIL.<\/strong><\/p>\n![\"Vortex](\"https:\/\/www.optics-trade.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Vortex-Strike-Eagle-5-25x56-2.jpg\")

The turrets<\/strong><\/h2>\nThe turrets are also different. From the design, they look similar to the ones on other tactical scopes, but they feature the new RevStop\u2122 Zero System.<\/strong> This is their new patented zero-stop design, which is very easy to set and offers a repeatable return-to-zero adjustment. When the zero stop is set, the turret goes 5 clicks below zero<\/strong>, which is perfect if you shoot in different environments and the point of impact varies.<\/p>\nWhatsoever, this design has a small disadvantage. When the RevStop\u2122 ring is inserted, a bit of the elevation range gets lost. The good news is, the scope can be zeroed and used also without the zero-stop<\/strong>, so the user gets the entire elevation range available in the scope.<\/p>\nThe turrets are multi-turn with 25 MOA or 10 MIL<\/strong> of elevation per turn. When you choose a MOA reticle, the turrets are also in MOA, or the opposite \u2013 everything comes in MIL.<\/p>\n![\"Vortex](\"https:\/\/www.optics-trade.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Vortex-Strike-Eagle-5-25x56-4.jpg\")
Vortex Strike Eagle 5-25×56<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nThe reticle<\/strong><\/h2>\nSimilar to the more expensive Vortex Viper PST Gen. 2<\/strong> <\/a>rifle scopes, the new Strike Eagle features a reticle illumination<\/strong>, the compartment of which is located on the parallax wheel on the right side of the scope. The entire reticle is illuminated.<\/p>\nThe reticle is positioned in the first focal plane,<\/strong> so it constantly changes in size corresponding to the magnification. This is perfect for target shooting at various distances, calculating the distance to the target or using the reticle for bullet drop compensation.<\/p>\nThe Strike Eagle 5-25×56<\/strong><\/a> will be available in MOA<\/strong> or MIL<\/strong>. The MIL version features the EBR-7C (MRAD) reticle while the MOA version features the EBR-7C (MOA) reticle.<\/p>\n![\"Vortex](\"https:\/\/www.optics-trade.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/ebr-7c-MRAD-and-MOA.jpg\")
