When i got the 3rd cap i inspected it before cutting open the packaging to make sure it was good even though i asked the importer to check for me before sending it. With chinese made stuff i found its luck of the draw, but saying that, really expensive euro/us/canadian scopes aren't immune to gremlins either.Īnd in the scope cap thread, cant remember how long ago, i had 3 dud vortex (whatever their top end model it) objective caps. This design difference creates the potential for POA and POI changes. SFP scopes place the reticle at the other end of the erector tube (closest to the eye). If you have this problem in a SFP scope, it does matter. Almost all FFP scopes exhibit some level of this bounce or shift.Ħ. As a result, there will be no shift in POI or POA.ĥ. In FFP scopes only, both the reticle and target image shift at the same time and in the same plane. If one of these two lens is too sloppy in the erector tube, the reticle and target image will bounce or shift as I've described above.Ĥ. The expensive scope manufacturers go as far as hand-fitting each lens, the other guys allow a bit more assembly tolerance.ģ. The fit tolerance between these two moving lenses and the erector tube is the root cause. Between the reticle and your eye are two adjustable lenses that move back and forth when the magnification ring is turnedĢ. FFP erector tubes position the reticle at the far end (furthest from the eye). I learned a few things that made me feel better, so I'll pass them along ġ. I spent time today discussing my issue with some scope manufacturers. So I guess as long as i can find a strike eagle that matches up elevation hatch marks, I will be fine. Gonna call Vortex when they open.įor reference i found a detailed explanation regarding this issue. ThanksĬlick to expand.Yeah both of mine are mil (hence the mrad reference). I appreciate if anyone can confirm for me. Just thought I could use this one for my 22lr trainer as it has a bunch of good reviews.
Does anyone have a Strike Eagle that they can test this out and let me know if I just got 2 duds or this is something that I would have to love with? I gotta send this one back anyways as the elevation clicks don't match up around 5-6mrad and then even back out.Īlso I know this is a Budget scope and I have many upper tier scopes. So obviously I call Vortex and they send me a new one. Its hard to explain but I can move the throw lever and I can easily see the reticle jump to the side(very little).
VORTEX STRIKE EAGLE FULL
when I am at full 25x and I slightly rotate the throw lever, the reticle jumps. Got down behind the rifle and adjusted the eye piece. Mounted(adm mount), leveled and torqued(Fix it sticks) the scope. So I bought a Strike Eagle 5-25x56 last week.
