Better than expected - Vortex Strike Eagle 1-6x24mm Rifle Scope, 30mm Tube, Second Focal Plane (SFP)

I'm 53 years old, have been shooting for a while. I have this on a Saint Victor 9mm Carbine and its just right. The 1x setting let's me use it as a red-dot and the 6x lets me bump out to 100/200 yards w/ no issue. Shooting steel plates 6" 8" and 10 inches. The range goes to 300 yards but thats hit and miss...its a 9mm not a 223/556. I have a Vortex Viper HD LPVO on my 556 AR and its superb. The Strike Eagle brightness setting are pretty weak until you get in the upper range (11). If your shooting outside in the sun its bright enough to use as Red Dot. Clarity wise, for my set up shooting a MAX of 300 yards its fine. No complaints. If you plan to shoot further for precision this may not be what your looking for. Take note to the warning taped to the scope main tube....it says don't tighten the rings more than 18 inch pounds....thats easy to blow through by hand. I'm actually very happy with the Strike Eagle.
