I run a 1-8 and 1-10 on a couple of my ARs. I’ve effectively killed prairie dogs to 640 yds with 50+ % hit rates with the 1-8. The center of the reticle is a bit too thick to effectively use at that distance, but the bottom half of the elevation stadia works great. I dialed my dope minus 2 mils, and held the last two where the reticle is thin enough to be effective. Within. A few hundred yards when shots are quicker it’s never an issue.

I had a 1-6 on mine and it was okay although as stated above the cross hairs were too thick for long range hunting or shooting.
I personally like the extra power even at 100 yards. I have a 3-15 pst gen II on mine and I'm getting 3-4 inches off a bipod at 300 yards with bullets from 55-77 grains.
I've since taken the shaky QR mount off and added a set of seekins directly to the rail. It's now rock solid and lowered the scope a bit.

Overkill?
The higher end LPVOs are great “do-all” optics to put on an AR in my opinion, but I’ve shot several of the Sub-$500 options out there and don’t really have a use for one.
The whole reason for an LPVO is to have an optic that is quick like a reddot at close range, but also has the magnification to stretch out to further distances. In my opinion, the budget options don’t have a good enough eye box/glass quality to be very fast at 1x and in some cases aren’t a true 1x. Because of that, you really lose the main advantages that a LPVO provides over an optic with a higher base magnification.
If you can swing a quality LPVO like a Vortex Razor or Nightforce NX8/Atacr, etc, I would highly recommend them, but if you’re going to be looking in the same price range as that Strike Eagle, I would pass on one.Last edited by Raider4044; 07-30-2021, 12:46 PM.
