Details of this scope are still up in the air. However as new information is obtained regarding this jewel, I will add to this thread.

Hang in there, they will be out later this year. Matter of fact, there is a new feature on our website where it will notify you when product arrives in stock if you don't want to back order one.

I know that you have one, but I really think you would like this one.

If that had a Mil reticle and .1 Mil turrets I'd consider it.

But it doesn't, so I'll stick with my SS 1-6X.

cant they just make one without a Ferris wheel looking reticle.

this is the first Vortex I MIGHT consider buying for a truck rifle, or pistol caliber AR.

but I don't think I like the busy reticle...

I would have to check it out in person.

not bad for $350


I'll be following this with interest

To be truthful with you I'm not sure. When I look them up, I see that they are Back Ordered. Sadly there are no additional details on them, yet.

That's a good question. Both are new, but when they arrive, I hope to have a brief second with each to see what they both are like.

I'm willing to bet that the PST will outshine it. However I don't want to jump to any conclusions without seeing both.

While I have no idea what the street price will be, Vortex shows the Strike Eagle 1-8 at $569. The PST gen 2 is $999. I'm willing to bet there will be a serious difference in the two.


The secret to a long life is to try not to shorten it.

Cabela's prints their ads months in advance. I think I read somewhere the 1-8 Strike Eagle won't be available for several months at the earliest. I'd be willing to bet there won't be any Strike Eagles a available from Cabela's. Hopefully I'm wrong. Cabela's has a habit of putting new firearms on their website that aren't available for a long time and advertising a firearm for sale and not having it in stock.


Don’t roll those bloodshot eyes at me.

No, not yet. I check frequently for new product information. Although I have not been able to obtain exactly what this reticle is going to look like.

I found the video where they show the reticle. It's more like a Christmas tree with holdover dots.
