Umm arrred over this scope for my 308/6.5x47 setup.... The scope on it now has been OK, but time for a update.

After procrastinating of my couple choices I had in mind for my budget for that rifles new glass probably been 2 months going back n forth. I ended up bitting the bullet on the Arken ep4 for that rifle combo. For similar money, hopefully in my hands next week.

Anyway had a good ol laugh of the Vid

And that is why I like my Strike Eagle

I was so close to slapping coin down on the Strike eagle. The whole thing being made in China Inc the glass from China had me off considering the $1459 price I was quoted at my lgs.

The final nail was when I got to see one turn up to the range the turret clicks where as positive as mashed potato.... He had probably a dud or something else happened too it, dunno.... But it turned me away, vortex went from solid clicks on there pst too a system that was like a playing card pegged onto your bike hitting the spokes.

From the 4 scopes I had lined up to pick from I ended going with the Arken ep4 and the arken 20moa one piece rail system for a little under the $1459 I was quoted for the VSE.

Owned a few original PST scopes from Vortex... But this new VSE just was a no from me, given what I seen and felt for the money.

I'm taking a gamble on the ep4 as I haven't seen it in the flesh or used one of there sxopes. They greentree there tracking the ep4 use Ed jap glass and a life time warranty simple zero stop system. But if its like the original vortex scopes I took a punt on many years ago, should be bang for buck scope. Guess I have to wait too eat my words or be a happy vegimite.

The Burris Tac came close.... But I couldn't find any in Aus that was in stock.

The other was a bushnell era erx or something along the lines off... There $1600 one not there 3300 line up.

Sounds fair mate, the Arken scopes look like nice bits of gear.
I got one of the first batch of Strike Eagles in the country, paid $1069 back then I think.
side by side with my PST gen 1 see’s the Strike Eagle with better glass and eyebox, clicks are similar on both with the PST slightly nicer feel but there is not much in it. Only real negative I can find with the SE is how stiff the parallax turret is..
