Optimize the versatility and quick-handling attributes of your AR with the redesigned Vortex Strike Eagle. A true 1x on the low end, Strike Eagle zooms to let shooters rapidly engage targets near and far, and an AR-BDC3 reticle aids in rapid shooting while providing holdover and ranging references from 0-600 yards. Plus, with a thread-in throw lever, you’ll be on target even faster, shot after shot.

AR-BDC3 RETICLE (MOA)

• The illuminated, glass-etched AR-BDC3 is specifically tuned to the ballistic performance of common 5.56 loads out of an AR-15. The 1 MOA center dot provides a precise point of aim while the surrounding 18 MOA horseshoe gets your eye into the center faster for rapid target acquisition, and the BDC keeps you on target out to 650 yards.

Optical Features:

• Fully Multi-Coated - Proprietary coatings increase light transmission with multiple anti-reflective coatings on all air-to-glass surfaces.
• Second Focal Plane Reticle - Scale of reticle maintains the same ideally-sized appearance. Listed reticle subtensions used for estimating range, holdover and wind drift correction are accurate at the highest magnification.
• Glass Etched Reticle - Allows for intricate reticle design. Protected between two layers of glass for optimum durability and reliability.
• Illuminated Reticle - Provides precise aiming under low light conditions.

Construction Features:

• 30mm Tube - Provides maximized internal adjustment and strength.
• One Piece Tube - Maximizes alignment for improved accuracy and optimum visual performance, as well as ensures strength and waterproofness.
• Aircraft Grade Aluminium - Constructed from a solid block of aircraft-grade aluminum for strength and rigidity.
• Waterproof - IPX7 Designed to meet IPX7 waterproofing standards.
• Fogproof - Nitrogen gas purging prevents internal fogging over a wide range of temperatures.
• Shockproof - Rugged construction withstands recoil and impact.
• Matte Anodized Finish - Corrosion and wear resistant anodization provides low-glare matte surface and helps camouflage the shooter's position.
• ArmorTek - Ultra hard, scratch resistant coating protects exterior lenses from scratches, oil and dirt.

Convenience Features:

• Fast Focus Eyepiece - Allows quick and easy reticle focusing.
• Throw Lever - The included throw lever can be installed for quick and easy magnification adjustments.

Breakdown of MOA and MRAD:

• MOA (Minute of Angle)
  • What it is: MOA is a unit of angular measurement that is commonly used for adjusting rifle scopes and calculating shot placement. One MOA equals 1/60th of a degree.
  • How it works: At 100 yards, 1 MOA equals approximately 1.047 inches (usually rounded to 1 inch for simplicity).
  • Usage: Scopes with MOA adjustments typically allow you to "click" the scope turrets in small increments to move the point of impact. A typical adjustment might be ¼ MOA per click, meaning each click moves the point of impact about 0.25 inches at 100 yards.
  • Why it matters: MOA is useful for fine adjustments, particularly for precision shooting at long distances.
• MRAD (Milliradian or Mil)
  • What it is: MRAD (often just called "mil") is another unit of angular measurement. One mil is 1/1000th of a radian, and at 100 yards, 1 mil equals 3.6 inches.
  • How it works: Scopes with MRAD adjustments allow you to click in mil increments (often 0.1 mil per click), which corresponds to moving the point of impact by 0.36 inches at 100 yards.
  • Usage: Like MOA, MRAD is used for adjusting windage and elevation on scopes. It’s more common in military and long-range precision shooting.
  • Why it matters: MRAD is often preferred for its simpler math (1 mil at 100 yards is 3.6 inches, at 1000 yards, it’s 36 inches).
