Vortex Strike Eagle riflecopes instruction manual

The need for high-performance, precision optics is the driving force behind all that we do. Speed and versatility— that’s what 1x variable optics offer AR shooters who need to engage targets from point-blank out to extended ranges. And that’s exactly what you’re going to get with Strike Eagle.

Riflescope Adjustments

Reticle Focus Adjustment

The Strike Eagle riflescope uses a fast focus eyepiece, designed to quickly and easily adjust the focus on the riflescope’s reticle.

To adjust the reticle focus, look through the riflescope at a blank white wall or up at the sky. Turn the eyepiece focus dial in or out until the reticle image is as crisp as possible. Try to do this quickly, as your eye will try to compensate for an out of focus reticle.

Once this adjustment is complete, it is not necessary to re-focus every time the scope is used. However, as your eyesight may change over time you should re-check this adjustment periodically.

Warning: Looking directly at the sun through a riflescope, or any optical instrument, can cause severe and permanent damage to your eyesight.

Windage and Elevation Adjustments

The Strike Eagle incorporates precision finger adjustable elevation and windage dials with audible clicks.

To make adjustments:

1.  Remove outer caps.
2. Turn the adjustment dial in the appropriate direction Up/Down or Left/Right indicated by the arrows.
3. Move the dials in the direction you wish the bullet’s point-of-impact to change.

Battery Replacement

To change the battery, unscrew outer cap of the illumination dial. Remove the battery and replace with a new CR 2032 battery with numbers facing out. A spare battery may be stored inside the windage cap, if desired, as shown here.

Missing the battery?

The clicks are scaled in 1/2 minute of angle measurements (MOAs) so each small click will move the point of impact 1/2 MOA. Note: 1/2 MOA equals .53 inches for each 100 yards of distance (14.55 mm at 100 meters).

1 MOA (2 clicks) equals:

• 1.05 inches at 100 yards (29.1 mm at
  100 meters)
• 2.1 inches at 200 yards (58.2 mm at 200 meters)
• 3.15 inches at 300 yards (87.3 mm at 300 meters)
• 4.2 inches at 400 yards (116.4 mm at 400 meters), etc.

Example: At a 50-yard sight-in distance, it will take ten clicks of the dial to move a bullet’s point-of-impact 2.65 inches.

Variable Power Adjustment

To change the magnification, turn the magnification ring to the desired level.

Illumination Adjustment

The Strike Eagle riflescope uses an illuminated reticle to aid in low light performance. Illumination intensity levels will vary from bright to very low with 11 levels of brightness.

Re-Indexing Turrets after Sight-in

1. Hold the elevation turret cap firmly between thumb and forefinger to prevent any rotation.
2. Find the slot cut into the MOA number dial, and use your fingernail or screwdriver to rotate the number dial until the “0” faces to the rear and aligns with the reference dot on the turret base.
3. Repeat the same procedure on the windage turret if desired.

After making this adjustment, the turret cap’s zero mark will correspond with your chosen zero range.

Maintenance

Cleaning

This fully waterproof and fogproof riflescope requires very little routine maintenance other than periodically cleaning the exterior lenses. The exterior of the scope may be cleaned by wiping with a soft, dry cloth. When cleaning the lenses, be sure to use products that are specifically designed for use on coated optical lenses such as the our Fog Free cleaning products or LensPen.

• Be sure to blow away any dust or grit on the lenses prior to wiping the surfaces.
• Use your breath, or a very small amount of water, to remove dried water spots. Isopropyl alcohol can help remove marks like fingerprints.

Lubrication

All components of the riflescope are permanently lubricated, so no additional lubricant should be applied.

Note: Other than removing the turret caps, do not attempt to disassemble any components of the scope. Disassembling the scope may void the warranty.

Storage

If possible, avoid storing your scope in direct sunlight or any very hot location for long periods of time.
