Steve RA Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 I've had a number of Aero mounts and I highly recommend them. Light weight, no protrusions on sides if you use side charge uppers and very strong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlieD Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 Aero is light and solid, very happy with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoKimberDave Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 Had a pepr on my first multigun rifle. Clunky and about twice as heavy as Aero. Have had two aeros now and they are everything I need. When the first one came I thought they sent me an empty box! Like 3 ounces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaddHatter Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 I have a pepr and a rock river, the Aero is definitely lighter and what I will be going to on both of my rifles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyD Posted March 9, 2017 Author Share Posted March 9, 2017 Vortex Strike Eagle and Aero SPR mount have been ordered. Should have next week. Hoping to hit the range in a couple weekends to get it sighted in and ready for the first matches in my area in the middle of April. Thanks everyone again for their input.

Nathanb Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 I shoot a strike eagle as I dabble in 3 gun. Also have one on a ruger American ranch bolt gun. I like it. I may go to a pst 1-6 because shiny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluedevil008 Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Honestly <100 just use a red dot. Even though you have a +8 on there, a red dot will be fine, unless your club is doing small 3-4 MOA targets at 100yards. Otherwise, go with the Strike Eagle. I used a strike eagle on a $3000 JP all last season and it served me well. I placed in the top at some good matches, so the optic did not hold me back. The extra 2x over a 1-4x is nice in case you do ever decide to go shoot a bigger match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
compshootfl Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 I bought the Primary arms 1-6 with the ACSS reticle....nice scope and the reticle makes fast work acquiring the target distance and drop, really cool feature. Around $230 If I remember correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbran267 Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 For a budget scope, I highly recommend the MTAC. For 100 yards and less, I'd stick with a red dot unless you are shooting at really small targets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IntenseImage Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 Just needed to pick an optic for my daughter's new rifle and was going to go with a Strike Eagle until we got to see the MTac w the newer Ballistic AR reticle - much better than that red donut they also offer. I knew that the MTac glass was better so having a nicer reticle made it as easy pick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHLChris Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 I owned a Strike Eagle on an American Defense QD mount. I hated it!! I sold it after one match. 1) The sweet spot for eye relief felt extremely tiny. If I didn't mount it perfectly on my shoulder I was searching for the sweet spot. That could have been addressed with practice, but I didn't like that. 2) Heavy as lead! With that mount, I think I was adding close to 2 pounds to my rifle. Now, I could have gotten a lighter mount, but the Vortex SE is a biggun. 3) I decided to stay with a red dot until I can afford real glass. My 3-gun match around these parts doesn't have anything past 50 yards, so a Vortex dot works for me, but I have become a glass snob because I felt so burned by the Strike Eagle.

TonytheTiger Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Vortex lists the Strike Eagle at 17oz and some change. That's almost exactly what most 1-4/6x optics weigh. The rest are heavier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toeheadAR Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Is the Athlon Midas 1-6x outside of the "budget" definition at$520? I'm considering it. Abital has a nice affordable 1-8x which is similar to the Primary Arms scope and under $400. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billdozer Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 Athlon. If they're making a 1-8 under $500, they have to be cutting corners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
optimator Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 I recently went from a Strike Eagle to a Steiner P4Xi. The Steiner can be found for under $500, and is light worlds away from the SE. Not that I hated the Vortex, but I love the Steiner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is awesome. It's so close to my razor HD, I'm impressed. It blows away everything in that price range. The 1x is true 1x. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like i said if they are making 1-8 scopes that cheap, something is up. And its sfp. Your not gonna turn it up to 8x all the time, you'll lose to much fov. Your holds wont be right. If you're going 1-8 it needs to be ffp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
