New Vortex Strike Eagle 1-8x24 inbound

[11B CIB]

Street price of $450, a true 1x low, and a new AR-BDC2 reticle (not sure what it looks like)

The email said it would appear end of April

Now that's pretty sweet!

The 1-6 really left me unimpressed.
I'm not going to get my hopes up for any better glass in this lineup.

The 1-6 was impressive for the money.

But I never bonded with mine. I just didn't like the reticle too much. I used to like donut types but somewhere along the line I wanted crosshairs with just a dot in middle. I actually went to a 1-4 with better glass. That one is not holding me back either.

I found shooting 3 gun a few times that more magnification doesn't help unless the glass can take advantage of the extra mag. And, most importantly, the skill of the shooter is not improved with higher magnification, lol.

I do find the new 1-6x24 PST Viper one quite interesting.

The new PST II 1-6 is a HEAVY beast

Is it as heavy as the HD 1-6? That thing is heavy too.

Two ounces shy of it
