Product Overview
The Strike Eagle® 1-8x24 FFP gives you the accurate holdovers at any magnification you've been looking for in an LPVO, allowing you to dominate close quarters and stretch your effective range. Rugged construction, great glass, and advanced features help you excel whether run-and-gun shooting or engaging targets out to 1,000 yards.
Being a First Focal Plane reticle, the EBR-8 BDC scale remains in proportion to the zoomed image at every magnification — constant subtensions allow accurate holdover and ranging at any power setting, not just at maximum zoom. Our exclusive EBR-8 BDC reticle facilitates rapid shooting from point blank out to 600 yards with popular .223/5.56mm and .308/7.62mm loads.
A removable throw lever, aircraft-grade aluminium construction, and ArmorTek exterior lens protection round out a genuinely capable package — and unlike the SFP version, this FFP model ships with the full accessory set: sunshade, hex wrench, and throw lever all included.

Turret style varies across the range: most models use low-profile capped turrets to prevent accidental adjustment, while the Ranger TMCQ uses exposed tactical-style turrets with a CRS zero-stop for rapid field dialing. "Daylight-bright" illumination — genuinely visible in direct sunlight, functioning like a red dot at 1x — is explicitly confirmed by Vortex for the Razor and AMG lines; other models offer illuminated reticles that are daylight-usable but not marketed with this specific claim.
Reticle & Sight Picture
Our exclusive EBR-8 BDC (MOA) First Focal Plane, glass-etched, illuminated reticle facilitates rapid shooting from point blank out to 600 yards with popular .223/5.56mm and .308/7.62mm loads, and can be used with other calibers via the BDC hashmarks.
As a First Focal Plane reticle, the scale remains in proportion to the zoomed image — the reticle's size appears larger at high magnifications and smaller at low magnification, but the subtensions used for holdover and ranging stay accurate at every power setting.
