Product Overview
When you're ready to step up your long-distance game, the Strike Eagle gives you more of the tools you need for less than you'd expect. Start with excellent edge-to-edge sharpness, and add a first focal plane illuminated reticle for fast reads at any magnification and lighting situation.
Add in the RevStop Zero System for a hard return to zero, and locking turrets for fast, stay-put adjustments — genuinely locking on both elevation and windage, not just capped. Build it around a 34mm tube that accommodates massive amounts of elevation and windage travel, and a throw lever for rapid magnification changes.
The EBR-7C illuminated reticle is small at 5x for quick target acquisition and gets larger at 25x, allowing you to use the MOA or MRAD markings at longer distances. Independent testing confirms the 5-25x magnification range is genuinely ideal for precision work, with massive adjustment range and a reliable zero system, though turret construction feels less robust than premium options at higher price points.
Key Features
Small at 5x for fast acquisition, larger at 25x for precise long-range holds.
Both axes lock, genuine protection against accidental field adjustment.
Genuine reach and light-gathering at long distance and in low light.
Hard, reliable return to zero after dialing for distance.
31 MRAD elevation, 23 MRAD windage — genuine headroom for extreme distance.
Fast, positive magnification changes for dynamic target engagement.

Manufacturer-listed scope weights exclude rings and mounts. Weight may vary slightly between reticle and illuminated/non-illuminated variants. Turret style varies meaningfully across this range — from capped windage on entry-level models through to fully locking elevation and windage on the Razor HD Gen III 6-36x56. "Daylight-bright" illumination is explicitly confirmed by Vortex for the Razor HD Gen III 4-24x44's EBR-7D reticle; other models offer illuminated reticles that are low-light aids rather than daylight-visible aiming points.
Reticle & Sight Picture
The illuminated EBR-7C reticle sits small at 5x magnification for fast target acquisition, and grows larger at 25x — genuinely allowing use of the fine MOA or MRAD holdover markings for precise long-range shots without losing the reticle in the sight picture.
As a First Focal Plane design, subtensions remain accurate at every magnification setting throughout the full 5-25x range, a real advantage for engaging targets at varying distances within the same string of fire.
