Vortex Strike Eagle 1-6×24 Review
Overall Rating: 4 out of 5 Stars
Durability – 5/5
The Vortex Strike Eagle 1-6×24 is certified waterproof and fog proof, thanks to O-ring sealing and nitrogen purging.
The one-piece tube is made of aircraft-grade aluminum with a matte black finish to eliminate glare.
I was tempted to test its durability by throwing it out of my vehicle window while driving!
Of course, I didn’t do that, but based on my experience shooting with it, I know it can handle drops and bumps like a pro!
