Before I buy this Strike Eagle 3x18x44 thought I'd ask if any of y'all have experience with it. How do you like it?
Anybody have experience with the vortex strike eagle 3x18x44 FFP?

What is your intended use for the scope? If it is for a hunting rifle that would be a hard pass for me. Vortex dont handle impacts very well.
Dedicated range gun is a different story.
In that price range a Trijicon Credo HX or some type of Arken would be my choice.

I plan on using it as a scope for a hunting rifle. I stick with vortex generally though because I get a discount through a dealer.

That scope is a good entry point for target setups (depending on your eyes I have seen them used successfully out to +- 1000yds). We sell a lot of them and I haven't gotten one returned in 5 years. Watch for sales and you can catch a good deal. With the tube size, weight and FFP it would NOT be my choice for a hunting scope. I have a couple of Strike Eagle LPVOs on ARs and they punch well above their weight.

I wouldn't settle for an optic I plan to kill animals with because I get a discount. Especially when they have a reputation for not holding zero. The one and only job of a rifle scope has, is to hold its zero where you set it. If it has a reputation of not doing that that, why put it on a rifle with the intention on shooting animals?
