Cut from a solid block of aircraft-grade aluminum, the Strike Eagle® 3-18x44mm Riflescope was designed as a lightweight, highly versatile optic to offer more magnification than Vortex’s 1-8x24 FFP to extend the shooter’s effective range but weighed less than Vortex’s 5-25x56mm for greater mobility. Equally suited for bolt-action or gas-operated rifles, this fully featured long-range capable riflescope excels at intermediate to extended range applications such as dynamic target shooting or varmint/predator hunting. The overall design of the Strike Eagle 3-18x44mm is compact, measuring 13.3”,and weighs just 27.3 ounces to promote greater maneuverability.
Like many of Vortex’s premium optics, the Strike Eagle 3-18x44mm is outfitted with an HD Optical System, which uses a combination of high-quality glass and advanced lens coatings to provide an image with crisp edge-to-edge sharpness and high light transmission. To ensure accurate holdovers throughout the entire magnification range, the Strike Eagle 3-18x44mm utilizes a first focal plane reticle.
The 3-18x44 features the EBR-7C reticle and is available in both MOA and MRAD configurations. The EBR-7C features an ultra-fine 0.14 MOA/0.04 MRAD center dot, as well as an abundance of sub-tensions and hashmarks allowing the user to determine ranges, make holdovers/windage corrections, and accurately engage moving targets. The reticle is also illuminated for use in low light situations, and the illumination dial is integrated directly into the parallax knob for better ergonomics.
Other features of the Strike Eagle 3-18x44mm include an intuitive turret design. The elevation turret is exposed and can be pulled up to make quick adjustments in the field and pushed down to lock it in place. The elevation turret’s RevStop Zero System ensures a fast, reliable return to zero, and a capped windage turret helps cut down on the weight and profile of the scope. The innovative turret design is made even better with the Strike Eagle’s 154 MOA/45 MRAD elevation adjustment range and 62 MOA/18 MRAD windage adjustment range thanks to optimized internal components.
In addition, the Strike Eagle 3018x44mm ships with included accessories: tethered lens covers, a throw lever, a lens cloth, a CR2032 battery, a 2mm custom tool, a 3” sunshade and a RevStop Zero Ring.
