Vortex Optics Golden Eagle HD 15-60x52 Second Focal Plane Riflescopes

Bought one with SCR-1 MOA reticle, and super happy with it.Pros - outstanding image quality, reliable tracking, smooth parallax, no aberrance, very fine reticle, best eye relief in class, light weight, unbeatable warranty.Cons - on magnifications above 45 gets darker, depth of focus is very shallow (you will have to use aperture ring to improve it, but it comes with further darkening of image), diopter adjustment is challenging without having any marks on reticle.Before deciding to go with GE, I looked through NF 12-42 benchrest, NF competition, a couple of monarchs, couple of sightrons.Quality of GE is step up from sightrons and NF benchrest. Light transmission, eye box and glass quality is slightly better in NF competition (price of NF is also about 20% higher). Monarchs had great glass, but eye relief was punishigly short and narrow, also eye box was surprisingly small.I'm using mine primarily for benchrest, and think that it is the best option for the task.

Great scope! After doing a considerable amount of research I'm really glad I went with Vortex and particularly the Golden Eagle for my long range hunting platform. The picture is crystal clear all the way out to maximum magnification and it tracks perfectly in elevation. Can't imagine why anyone would pay more for other scopes considering the high quality and lifetime warranty of Vortex. I mounted it on a 20 MOA base to maximize the range and I've been very happy with the results out to the limits of my local range (1400 yards). I haven't had the chance to take it out beyond that, but I know I still have plenty of room to dial it up. As others have already mentioned it really does eliminate the need for a spotting scope, although I will use one for long range target acquisition, but no need to switch to the spotting scope to see where the round hit. I'm buying another one for my competition rifle!

Works fine

One of the most affordable quality optics you can buy for F Class competition and Vortex stands by their products with an outstanding warranty.

I knew what I was getting and it didn't disappoint. Top notch scope for precision benchrest shooting.

The best of the best. What can I say? It's like having a spotting scope on your rifle. Well as a matter of fact it is a spotting scope FOR a rifle. I can see the tiny parts of a fly on a log at 200 yards. Need I say more? It went on a 6.5 Creedmoor because I was told you can hit a golf ball with it at 600 yards. Well I needed to SEE the golf ball. Now I can see the dimples in the golf ball and they look like the craters of a full moon on the horizon. You know, when it looks bigger then it is.

If you want to shoot at distances farther than 500 yards this scope is worth considering. I'm new to ultra long distance shooting. My others scopes have been up to 24X. Nothing bothers me about this scope. Having a second focus on the left side across from the elevation and windage adjustments is real nice. A few friends of mine who have doing long range shooting for years are very impressed. It's expensive as hell, but for what you're getting it's actually really inexpensive compared to the competitors.

I read good reviews about this online. Glad to say it exceeds my expectations
