New Vortex scope-1-6x24 Strike Eagle
Was just cruising Vortex's site and seen they are coming out with a new 1-6 scope around summer time, called the strike eagle.
Link to vortex page and description http://www.vortexoptics.com/product/...ar-bdc-reticle
30mm tube
CR2032 battery
SFP - AR-BDC reticle
MSRP of $429 on vortex's site, so street price should be a little lower id imagine

The resemblance to the PA 1-6x24 is uncanny

I'm going to end up pulling the trigger on one of these 1-6's soon.... Gotta have more magnification.

I am quietly eyeballing scopes. This one is a possibility.

But it's yet another BDC reticule on a SFP scope. The BDC will only work at one point of the pretty wide range of mag (same with PA). I just don't really understand why these are a thing, other than the cost being much less than a FFP.
Check that. I can see how these are great for a static plinking rifle (which can be plenty of fun), but otherwise...

You wanna know what the difference is in the PA and this? Vortex's awesome warranty and customer service. I've heard PA has good CS, but the 3 year warranty on their 1-6 is no match for vortex's no bullshit lifetime warranty.
I love my PA for the price I paid, but had this been out at the time, I'd have pulled the trigger on an extra hundred bucks to get the warranty and care that I've come to know from vortex.

Would this be a better option that the Bushnell 1-4x 24mm Throw Down PCL?

I'm using the the throwdown now. I'm starting to get a decent feel for it. I would like to try other optics and do a side by side comparison. I'm on the prowl now for some alternatives. Maybe not because the Bushnell is bad...but it would allow me to learn more and develop more preferences.

Almost no one is doing a FFP in anything less than a 1-8x or 10x unfortunately. Even then on a 1-6 when I see most guys running them even in the Razor HDs and the S&Bs they're on max magnification anyways. The reason a lot of glass companies are going with BDCs in even the cheaper brands are because most people buying them want it because they think it's cool when in reality 9 out of 10 will never shoot them farther than 100-200yds lol.
