9:21 Absolutely love the polymer turret adjusting tool for adjusting your turret setting. No more marring the slots with a coin or screwdriver as you mentioned. I use this tool on all my scopes whether Razor or other brands.
I love Vortex optics; have 5 Razors and 1 Viper so far.
You are doing a great job with these videos -- good content, great delivery, and fantastic video quality and editing! I appreciate you!
Just picked up this scope last week, had to come back and rewatch your video, it was one of the reason I wanted this particular model. Now I just need scope rings and ammo. Keep up the great work, thanks for the video.
Definitely going to be my next vortex purchase now Iâve had a good look at it.. thanks Piet.. đđ»
Iâve finished my budget hunting build for this season on word from your videos and Iâm really happy with the outcome. I picked the same rings, scope, and oryx chassis from your reviews. Thought I wouldnât lose sleep if it gets dinged up. Mdt vertical grip feels great because I hunt prone over agricultural fields. Canât wait to sight in and break it in for this years charity hunt. Only wish I have is that I could buy your muzzle break for my rifle but you guys are in Africa and and the U.S. website isnât letting me pay. But regardless your reviews on all the products were spot on as usual and helped me make an informed purchase Iâm happy with. Thank you!
12:17 I LOVE how you can see the reflection of the bullet in the action before chambering!
Waking up with this on a Saturday morning is a refreshing change from all the chaos in today's world. I appreciate the straightforward, no-nonsense review!
Because of your channel videos it helped me making the decision to purchase the Vortex strike eagle. Made a world of difference in my long range shooting. Hope Vortex sees this and helps your channel even more to do more awesome videos. đđđđ Great channel. From Johannesburg, South Africa
Nice scope review . Vortex scopes are becoming very popular with shooters all over the world , I havenât heard anything bad about them from anyone. The Quality and reliability of the Vortex brand of scopes keep on improving every year .
Love your channel I was born in Johannesburg then moved to NYC as a kid became a citizen and joined the army at 17 and was alone 10 years in the army and most of that time I was a scout sniper now I live in texas and bought property to shoot to 1800 yards
Very cool I wish I could shoot but I'm in city limits lol if I ever move. I'm moving out to an unincorporated area.
You were a SCOUT sniper in the Army? Didn't know they had those. I know in the Marine Corps there are Scout Snipers, definitely not the Army. SMH
@@tflagel cav go by scout too. Scouts out.
Had my strike eagle on pre order love it works flawlessly on my 338 LM tracks perfect stays zeroed even under my loads can't say anything bad about it cost to performance and feature ratio is awesome also for elr got lots of elevation throw a 60moa rail on it and get full use
Awesome timing on the video. I've had a RAZOR on back order for so long, I spent the money for it on an M4 :D So when I saw that this had a 34mm tube, I ordered on straight away - spot to guy who ordered the 34mm cantilever mount separately. Anyway, I'll probably keep this until the RAZOR gen 3 is released with the large objective lenses, then grab one of those. Keep up the great work with the videos!
My buddy that's getting one sent me this review, really enjoyed your review, delivery and thorough overview, good work!! I'm subbed! thanks for the great content!!
Thanks for the sub! :-)
Great video. Love the video work at the beginning!!
I only use a coin on my turrets. If you dont overtighten them it's no problem but that tool should be put in every vortex box. Thanks for a great video on this scope đđ
Good straightforward review, have a couple of Vortex but will save pennies to invest in one of these in time.đđ
This channel is so awesome. I love the way you started the video it was so satisfying. Keep up the great work.
What gun are you shooting? I lowkey want one .lol
That is the most tactile and satisfying turret sound
That action is butter!!! So smooth
Great video Pieter, great scope mate.
Thanks Piet, great video as always. I noticed the larger weights on the sides of the acc chassis. I trust you are testing it for mdt. It would be good if mdt can drop the price point if they have less macining on a bigger weightđ. Looking forward to see the performance of the scope and especially how the glass performs in real world situations. It will have to be a good scope as there is already specials in the States on the PST 2. Once you properly tested it I would like to know if it would be better to buy the Strike eagle or wait for the PST 2 to drop in price. The Strike eagle is also more expensive than the PST 1, how does it compare to the older version of the PST? I will be looking at purchasing a Vortex due to your channel so they should better be looking after youđ. Stay Shootingđ
Great video Peter, as always!
Not sure if you read comments. But thank you for sharing your passion for the sport.
I put my new strike eagle on my 308. First use yesterday was great. Took it out to 1670 yards. Hold over was 113 moa. I could see the target clearly (white with a thin x marked on it) and was able to spot shots and misses. A side by side comparison with my two Nightforce ATACR scopes - optics not a good but unbeatable for the price. I got this scope on warranty from vortex which is incredible. Very happy.
Update: I have 3 strike eagles and a venum now.
How do you like the eagle to venom
Haha, using the sun shade because it looks cool! I think youâre right about stealing sales from the PST gen2. Keep up the good videos.
I want to sniper school back in February and that throw lever would have been ideal to have on my vortex scope during the course it would have made everything just a little bit easier and quicker to adjust during the school
glad you finally got it!
Beautiful rifle setup!!!!! Love the videos!!!!!
Nice scope.I love Vortex Scopes.
They have the Best Warranty.The Glass in their scopes made in Japan and Philippines are so much better than the ones made in China.
I wish they would not make any more in Cheap Ass China
I have the Arken Optics EP4 4-16x50 and the EP4 6-25x50 and this is why your getting this scope. They have to compete!
Another good video. I already want one.
Man I really like those Defiance actions and the look of them are also sweet but I just had my dealer sample of the Vortex Strike Eagle shipped out Friday, I can't wait to get it and take a trip to the farm an stretch that baby out to 1,400
What scope ring height are your rings? I have a Ruger with a 20 MOA rail on top and planning on buying this scope with the MDT rings but not sure what height either the medium or high ones. Great video keep it up man đđŒ
I have to know what all is incorporated in this build. I love every aspect of this gun and would love to build it
You are always comfortable saying you do something because it looks cool. Plus functional.
Got a vortex 24 power diamond back on my ruger M77 243 moa radical......transformed my 1k shots
Very cool video man keep up the great work
Thanks, will do!
Nice scope thanks for the video
Nice channel ! Subscribed a few days ago. Like it !
What type of mounting rings do you use ? Which hight is it ?
Keep it up !
Iâm finally off work. Iâm debating on getting it for a .300wsm Iâm having built
I have the strike eagle 1-6 power scope put it on a savage model 10 for fun mostly. 2 days ago I shot a 3 shot group that measured .25 inches! At 100 yards. I might have to upgrade to this larger strike eagle to really take advantage of the rifles accuracy. For anyone wondering I bought the savage new for 460 bucks. And it's easily shot 1 moa and better.... With a 6 power scope.
Got mine in the mail today đ
Great video!!!
Great review in the voice of doctor evil.
Hey! @IMPACT SHOOTING i just got an optic from my firearms school and it has an absolutely HUGE eye relief (10-11 inches/ 24-28cm) i cant place it anywhere on my ar receiver and comfortably get a perfect view with very minimal vignette, id have to place it at the near end of my 15 inch handguard just to get good eye relief (which is a no-no) a cantilever mount would be my best bet but feel that even that will not allow me enough room . any tips would be GREATLY appreciated ! thanks!
Great rifle I was really excited when the strike eagle first came out until I found out they put the wrong zero stop in it I donât understand why they would put some thing in there that cut the elevation less than half going from 110 MOA to 47 MOA is a huge disappointment I shoot ELR so I pretty much use every bit of elevation in the scopes The only vortex I have is the first Razor 5-20. It has 125 MOA of elevation and 125 MOA of windage Perfect ELR scope. All of their scopes with 34mm tube should have at least 120 minutes
If this scope holds up... it is the game changer I have been holding out for.
hi I like your CZcams videos thank you for being a CZcamsr
Great scope, better video!!
Where did you get those weights for the MDT? I have the MDT sold weights but I like the ones you have on the ACC.
Any updated range video on this scope? Always interested in longer term reviews.
Hello there! Awesome review on the SE! Do you think itâs a better option than the Gen1 Viper PST 6-24x50? Thanks!!
I have had this on my 6.5 creed HMR for a month and I love it! Itâs my first precision rifle and sight I love the reticle but most importantly the price point
Bergara HMR?
Damnit. I just received my Razor Gen II on Thursday and I knew this review was coming. Lol. Should have waited. One question that no one ever seems to mention on these more affordable models is, is the entire EBR 7C Mrad reticle illuminated like it is in the Razor Gen II? The "Christmas Tree" and all or just the dot and crosshairs?
hi great video.do you think it is a good scope for long range shooting on a 6.5 creedmoor/300 win mag?
When you install your action in your rifle do you glass bed/aluminum pillar the action into place or does MDT do that work before you get the chassis?
It would be nice to see a side by side comparison of the glass quality with a camera looking through. Otherwise it's just specs talk.
Thanks for the review. I was waiting for this vid sin e your comparison between the razor,pst, and diamondback. I pulled the trigger and ordered mine two weeks ago. Haven't had a chance to shoot with it yet. But first impressions...this may actually replace one of my US Optics. Yes, I said it.
Also what rings are those and size?
Awesome man! Vortex PMR rings - low
Quality content đ
I under stood the part about the dust cover for the scope but after that, I never understood anything else you talked about. I have this scope but you make it hard to understand how to use it. Guess I need to go to college and take up how to use a strike eagle 101 , 201 and 301. Or I can just just hold over. Yea , that's it. I'll just use hold over. Sounds simple enough. Now need to waist 3 years of collage .
Hi Pieter, would it be possible to do a comparison review between the strike eagle and the element optics titan? Maybe Matt can get involved with a side by side comparison?
Do you recomend that for a 338 lapua mag
Wow you gained 9.5k subs from the lasrt video!
Nice video ...I have a question, hopefully you or any of the guys here can help me.
I am looking for a scope for my Tikka T3 243, I am planning to upgrade the stock and make a 400 to 500 yard mid range sooting and occasionally hunt.
The idea in the future is get into a Tikka long barrel in 6.5 creedmore, I don't think I'll be shooting more than 600 yards as that is the longest range I can shoot around here.
I have an opportunity to get any of the following scopes:
1 - Vortex Strike eagle 4-24*50
2 - Vortex Strike eagle 3-18*44
3 - Vortex Viper PST 4-16-50 (FFP)
4 - Diamondback Tactical 6-24*50 (FFP)
5- Diamondback Tactical 4-16*44 (FFP)
Those are the ones I am looking at, but as a newbies I don't know which one could be better for me. (300 to 600 yards max shooting "for now"). I am trying to decide:
- FFP o SFP
- What magnification should I go with
What mdt model scope rings are those I'm wanting to get the same ones for my rifle. Btw you made up my mind on the strike eagle haha. Been debating all day.
Do you know anything about the new Savage 110 Elite rifle? Seriously considering this rifle but I know it's still kinda new. Also looking at the Tikka Tac A1. Any suggestions on either?
I've had nothing but problems with both of my 3-18x44 strike eagle scopes. They claim the turrets can be reset to zero after sighting in but they don't seem to be, the markings never line back up.
Hey Pieter, I wonder if you have tried the Horus tremor 3 reticle in the vortex Razor.
I'd like to see this scope compared to the new Arken FFP 6-24X50 with Japanese glass
You had me at â....super sweet..!â
I want flip up covers but donât want ones with a rubber boot, is there any screw on options?
I wish vortex would get a radical like the nightforce moar-t only thing keeping me from buying and the price is to high for me on a nightforce vortex is 1k cheaper and a better warranty
What rings did you go with? Size? Short, med, tall? 20 MOA rail?
What height rings are you running with that set up ? Thank you
@impactshooting can you buy the MDT stock camo like that..?
I need merch like now please đđ€đ»
wat kos die mdt chassis met folding stock ek op jou site gekyk sien niks daar nie waar kan mens n pryslys kry
@IMPACT SHOOTING can you ship it during level 3?
Hi Pieter, hoe kom mens in aanraking met jou? Ek stel belang aan die Oryx Chassis, maar het n paar vra.
Is there a follow-up video for this?
Piet onthou net jy gaan van daai vertikale verstelling verloor wanneer jy die "rev-stop" gebruik...
Piet whats the sizes for scope caps
Hel ek gaan spaar!!!!
Groete Piet.... Barkly oos
Which is better MOA or MRAD ?
What height rings are you using on this scope?
Is this thing consistently passing box tests?
so it has 51 MRAD with out and it takes 13 off when using the zero stop so thats 38 MRAD did you test that on a 0 or 20moa base
what muzzle brake do you use?
Good explanation too
Glad you liked it
Following you and watching your videos! I have not seen them all .. yet
I do however have a question - I am looking for a rifle as a startup kit - I have been looking at the ruger precision rifle. 1 issue thus, doesnt come in links.
Could you perhaps point me in the right direction?
low/medium budget 2000-2500 dollars with out accessories and scope (here I am planning on going Vortex)
What is the break on the rifle in the beginning?
Nothing like researching a scope for your 338LM and then hearing Piet is putting it on a 22LR..
I feel like a doos :)
To be fair we are shooting the rimfires so far so its on par with where your 338 will be slapping!
What would you buy for a 338lm? Vortex gen 3? Thanks boet!!
How does this compare to the Viper HST?
what weights are you running on here? The long ones?
Where did you get those bipod spikes?
Isn't your objective too close to the barrel? At the point where the chamber ends?
Nice intro!
What ring height do you choose?
What ring height did you use?
When are they gonna give you a sweet promo code?
Youâve gotta post more content I really like your videos
Working on it!
