Personal Setup and Experience
To complement the performance of the Vortex Strike Eagle, I have paired it with the Monstrum Savage Axis Picatinny Rail on my Savage Axis 308 rifle. Additionally, I've installed the Monstrum 30mm Pro Series 7075 Aluminum Cantilever Mount, providing a secure and reliable mounting solution. With a height over bore of 2.7 inches, I am confident in achieving optimal sight alignment and accuracy.

Conclusion
I eagerly anticipate my upcoming range session, where I plan to sight in my rifle using a fresh shipment of AAC 150gr 308 ammo. With the Vortex Strike Eagle by my side, I am prepared to push the boundaries of precision shooting and elevate my marksmanship skills to new heights. This setup with my previous scope rings (Vortex made) was shooting beyond my capability as a shooter with Remington 150gr CoreLokt. I expect AAC ammo to outperform that. I look forward to getting out there and sending some downrange to prove it.
In conclusion, the Vortex Strike Eagle 4-24x50 stands as a testament to Vortex's commitment to innovation, quality, and performance. Whether you're a seasoned marksman or a novice shooter, this riflescope offers the features and reliability needed to excel in any shooting environment.
