You might already know that Ammoland is giving away a sweet 6.5mm Creedmoor AR-10 rifle – the Palmetto State Armory PA 65. You can read more about that here.

To add some icing to the cake, the winner will also receive this Vortex Strike Eagle 4-24×50 Scope already mounted with a Burris P.E.P.R. Quick-detach scope mount. Not a bad deal for nothing, right?

Let’s take a look at this gear.

Vortex Strike Eagle 4-24×50 Scope

This Strike Eagle model, as the name implies, is a variable scope that goes from 4 to 24x. The zoom ring is wide and smooth to operate. You can work it without breaking your sight picture, but it’s firm enough that your power level won’t change until you want.

The exposed tactical / target turrets of the Vortex Strike Eagle 4-24x50 Rifle Scope adjust in .25 MOA per click increments with 12 MOA per revolution.

The Vortex Strike Eagle 4-24×50 Rifle Scope is a second focal plane scope. The practical meaning of this is that the reticle always appears the same size in your view regardless of power level – it fills up the entire viewing window a lowest or highest magnification and everywhere in between. Knowing that the scope is a second focal plane model matters when you try to use the reticle for determining the range or using it for holdovers. When doing either of these functions, always crank the magnification up to full power. Holding over a certain number of MOA at 6x is very different than the same holdover at 24x!
