You are always comfortable saying you do something because it looks cool. Plus functional.
Nothing like researching a scope for your 338LM and then hearing Piet is putting it on a 22LR..
I feel like a doos :)
To be fair we are shooting the rimfires so far so its on par with where your 338 will be slapping!
What would you buy for a 338lm? Vortex gen 3? Thanks boet!!
My buddy that's getting one sent me this review, really enjoyed your review, delivery and thorough overview, good work!! I'm subbed! thanks for the great content!!
Thanks for the sub! :-)
What scope ring height are your rings? I have a Ruger with a 20 MOA rail on top and planning on buying this scope with the MDT rings but not sure what height either the medium or high ones. Great video keep it up man 👍🏼
Awesome timing on the video. I've had a RAZOR on back order for so long, I spent the money for it on an M4 :D So when I saw that this had a 34mm tube, I ordered on straight away - spot to guy who ordered the 34mm cantilever mount separately. Anyway, I'll probably keep this until the RAZOR gen 3 is released with the large objective lenses, then grab one of those. Keep up the great work with the videos!
Great rifle I was really excited when the strike eagle first came out until I found out they put the wrong zero stop in it I don’t understand why they would put some thing in there that cut the elevation less than half going from 110 MOA to 47 MOA is a huge disappointment I shoot ELR so I pretty much use every bit of elevation in the scopes The only vortex I have is the first Razor 5-20. It has 125 MOA of elevation and 125 MOA of windage Perfect ELR scope. All of their scopes with 34mm tube should have at least 120 minutes
be keen to see you compare the strike eagle 5-25 x 55 vs viper pst gen 2 5-25x50 - intended platform is a RPR 300 PRC.
Ive made that vid, Id take the Strike Eagle all day
@@IMPACTSHOOTING took me a while, but worked through some of the vids and I'm agreeing... ps please see you sales inbox.
G
Great video Pieter, great scope mate.
Good explanation too
Glad you liked it
I wish vortex would get a radical like the nightforce moar-t only thing keeping me from buying and the price is to high for me on a nightforce vortex is 1k cheaper and a better warranty
I'd like to see this scope compared to the new Arken FFP 6-24X50 with Japanese glass
Wow you gained 9.5k subs from the lasrt video!
Hello there! Awesome review on the SE! Do you think it’s a better option than the Gen1 Viper PST 6-24x50? Thanks!!
Nice video ...I have a question, hopefully you or any of the guys here can help me.
I am looking for a scope for my Tikka T3 243, I am planning to upgrade the stock and make a 400 to 500 yard mid range sooting and occasionally hunt.
The idea in the future is get into a Tikka long barrel in 6.5 creedmore, I don't think I'll be shooting more than 600 yards as that is the longest range I can shoot around here.
I have an opportunity to get any of the following scopes:
1 - Vortex Strike eagle 4-24*50
2 - Vortex Strike eagle 3-18*44
3 - Vortex Viper PST 4-16-50 (FFP)
4 - Diamondback Tactical 6-24*50 (FFP)
5- Diamondback Tactical 4-16*44 (FFP)
Those are the ones I am looking at, but as a newbies I don't know which one could be better for me. (300 to 600 yards max shooting "for now"). I am trying to decide:
- FFP o SFP
- What magnification should I go with
Piet onthou net jy gaan van daai vertikale verstelling verloor wanneer jy die "rev-stop" gebruik...
When you install your action in your rifle do you glass bed/aluminum pillar the action into place or does MDT do that work before you get the chassis?
Do you know anything about the new Savage 110 Elite rifle? Seriously considering this rifle but I know it's still kinda new. Also looking at the Tikka Tac A1. Any suggestions on either?
What rings did you go with? Size? Short, med, tall? 20 MOA rail?
VORTEX all the WAY!!!!!
I need merch like now please 😆🤙🏻
Hel ek gaan spaar!!!!
Groete Piet.... Barkly oos
What kind of rings u got? High
@impactshooting can you buy the MDT stock camo like that..?
Is this thing consistently passing box tests?
I want flip up covers but don’t want ones with a rubber boot, is there any screw on options?
wat kos die mdt chassis met folding stock ek op jou site gekyk sien niks daar nie waar kan mens n pryslys kry

Hey therre, new viewer here. Just thought of writing in your last video because I have a question I usually ask people I like who hunt animals. I am honestly strongly against it, for the simple fact that, in escence, it boils down to taking a life and treating it as sport, enjoyment, basically a positive emotion as the result of the murder.
I have issues with the moral aspect of it, because, animal, human, whatever, you're taking enjoyment from killing a living being. As a hunter yourself, and from what I've seen of you so far, as a level-minded and approachable guy, what's your take on it? On the overall action of hunting, and on your personal experience? Do you see the act itself as something completely positive, fun, etc, or do you take into account the very heavy fact that you just took a life?
I'm really interested in this topic, I want to figure out what happens in our brain, which helps us excuse that murder, even though we rationally know we are not an animal who needs to actively kill in order to survive.
I wanna stress this, I'm not coming at you, I'm not being hateful, I just wanna open a conversation on this, because I both find it fascinating, and personally a bit distressing, but I like to hear the side of people I believe can have a civil discussion with me on this.
Anyway, thanks for your time if you read this, cheers!
Hey man,
Appreciate the comment. You ask some good questions, and I feel as a non hunter you are open minded and thats awesome to see. So many people have already made up their mind about a topic and then its a lost cause trying to have a good discussion. This is perhaps a topic for a complete video one day.
So my thoughts are this. It's a mixed bag of emotions when taking the life of an animal. While I never shoot something for the sake of it (that would be murder), I see it as harvesting an animal for my consumption. Wether we like it or not, buying meat from the grocery store is causing an animal somewhere to die. In the case of hunting, I know that the animal didn't spend its life in a feed lot knee deep in its own poop. Going up to the slaughter, it sees, smells and hears its fellow animals get killed.
In the case of hunting for me, I choose mature animals thats had a good life and Im doing my level best to put them to the ground instantly. In most cases, they aren't even aware of the fact that I was there or there was any form of danger. I have a fundamental problem with "hunters" shooting animals at long range, I feel they make that a sport and pose for pictures. I don't do that.
While I may express excitement while hunting, it's a different kind of excitement as that of sport shooting. I know Im providing for my family with the highest quality meat available. I hope this helps a bit, we have a hunting video coming up next. If you do watch it, I will look out for your comment there :-)
Regards,
Piet
@@IMPACTSHOOTING Hey there, thanks a lot for answering! And yeah, even having strong feelings against hunting, I don't see people as good or bad, those are extremes. I'm glad my comment got to you in the way I hoped it would, and I hear what you're saying. Especially the part about "buying meat is killing an animal somewhere", and in most cases, it's killing them in horrific ways, so I can understand where you come from by hunting for sustenance yourself.
It's still a topic I need to understand more, and I try not to judge right out of the bat. I can't promise I'll watch the hunting video, but maybe. Either way, love the rest of your content, I've been catching up, lol.
Thanks again for your answer, take care!
@@vicentefernandez9084 Your strong "Feelings" are the problem. Try THINKING about this issue, as a Human Being, you've been blessed with that capability......animals haven't.

How’s it stack up against a PMII 5-25x56 😂
Perdon mondrian tradusirlo al espanol gracias
When you reviewing scope and not giving the viewers view throught the scope cam...
unfortunately scope cams don't do a scope any justice, the technology just isn't there.
'' can not afford the scope caps '' ??? you just spent $ 1500 + on a vortex scope .. what ??
Retail is $799...Street price is at least $100 less than that.
Like your shooting and reviews but man that intro is way too long.
I normally bail before you get down to the topic of vid.
This one was just a little cinematic to try something new in the studio space. Thanks for the feedback
@@IMPACTSHOOTING Love your videos and your obvious passion for playing the "long game"...keep up the good work 👍
FWIW, I like your creativity, including the intros...
By the way, what sort of equipment are you using for your videos? i.e. camera/s, production software etc.
Thanks 👍
51 mils what! 175 moa you sure....
Has 31 mils.
Jup 31
Sorry your accent made it sound like 51...
vortex......overpriced by atleast 3x & asian junk too boot
Thanks Piet, great video as always. I noticed the larger weights on the sides of the acc chassis. I trust you are testing it for mdt. It would be good if mdt can drop the price point if they have less macining on a bigger weight😁. Looking forward to see the performance of the scope and especially how the glass performs in real world situations. It will have to be a good scope as there is already specials in the States on the PST 2. Once you properly tested it I would like to know if it would be better to buy the Strike eagle or wait for the PST 2 to drop in price. The Strike eagle is also more expensive than the PST 1, how does it compare to the older version of the PST? I will be looking at purchasing a Vortex due to your channel so they should better be looking after you😉. Stay Shooting😎
isnt begging for likes against youtubes rules
Nope, please leave a like. And another comment.
Waking up with this on a Saturday morning is a refreshing change from all the chaos in today's world. I appreciate the straightforward, no-nonsense review!
I sure wish you could get us a MDT discount code. Love your videos
"Haters gonna hate" - love the muzzlebrake lol
Ainters gonna aint!
Video look... I’m really liking your latest high contrast, stronger saturation look. As to the long range kills, you’re a proven shooter at 800m+. Not one of your harsh Tyler’s can shoot that well. Keep it up
Brake is not leveled tho. Just saying.
Love your channel I was born in Johannesburg then moved to NYC as a kid became a citizen and joined the army at 17 and was alone 10 years in the army and most of that time I was a scout sniper now I live in texas and bought property to shoot to 1800 yards
Very cool I wish I could shoot but I'm in city limits lol if I ever move. I'm moving out to an unincorporated area.
You were a SCOUT sniper in the Army? Didn't know they had those. I know in the Marine Corps there are Scout Snipers, definitely not the Army. SMH
@@tflagel cav go by scout too. Scouts out.
I put my new strike eagle on my 308. First use yesterday was great. Took it out to 1670 yards. Hold over was 113 moa. I could see the target clearly (white with a thin x marked on it) and was able to spot shots and misses. A side by side comparison with my two Nightforce ATACR scopes - optics not a good but unbeatable for the price. I got this scope on warranty from vortex which is incredible. Very happy.
Update: I have 3 strike eagles and a venum now.
How do you like the eagle to venom
Had my strike eagle on pre order love it works flawlessly on my 338 LM tracks perfect stays zeroed even under my loads can't say anything bad about it cost to performance and feature ratio is awesome also for elr got lots of elevation throw a 60moa rail on it and get full use
I have the Arken Optics EP4 4-16x50 and the EP4 6-25x50 and this is why your getting this scope. They have to compete!
youre allowed firearms in south africa?!?
I want to sniper school back in February and that throw lever would have been ideal to have on my vortex scope during the course it would have made everything just a little bit easier and quicker to adjust during the school
Definitely going to be my next vortex purchase now I’ve had a good look at it.. thanks Piet.. 👍🏻
9:21 Absolutely love the polymer turret adjusting tool for adjusting your turret setting. No more marring the slots with a coin or screwdriver as you mentioned. I use this tool on all my scopes whether Razor or other brands.
I love Vortex optics; have 5 Razors and 1 Viper so far.
You are doing a great job with these videos -- good content, great delivery, and fantastic video quality and editing! I appreciate you!
Nice scope review . Vortex scopes are becoming very popular with shooters all over the world , I haven’t heard anything bad about them from anyone. The Quality and reliability of the Vortex brand of scopes keep on improving every year .
Where’s the range time vid for this scope :(
Never said what the lense is like. Can’t decide between this or pst
Next vid
Haha, using the sun shade because it looks cool! I think you’re right about stealing sales from the PST gen2. Keep up the good videos.
Not leveled muzzlebrake triggers me.
What height rings are you running with that set up ? Thank you
Where did you get those weights for the MDT? I have the MDT sold weights but I like the ones you have on the ACC.
What is the break on the rifle in the beginning?
I have to know what all is incorporated in this build. I love every aspect of this gun and would love to build it
What do you think about Vortex Venom
Scope is pretty close to that barrel lmao
I’m finally off work. I’m debating on getting it for a .300wsm I’m having built
What brand is your watch?
What mdt model scope rings are those I'm wanting to get the same ones for my rifle. Btw you made up my mind on the strike eagle haha. Been debating all day.
Bliksem Piet
Mooi was nog nooit lelik!!!
I just bought my first long range gun, and knew absolutely nothing about rifle scioes. And this is what i got please tell me i did ok?
You did great!
Thank you im still looking at the videos on it. Immused to hand guns, so spending as much as a really expensive hand gun on a pair of glasses for it :) is still crazy to me
I like Vortex Optics. I have more Vortex than anything else in optics, here's the list: 1x Spitfire, 4-16x44mm HST, a Vortex red dot scope, I can't recall the name, (2) Vortex PST - SFP, and FFP 3-15 GEN II, 1-6 PST, and Strike Eagle 1-6. The Strike Eagle series is as low as I will Vortex optics line-up; glass quality is what I seek.
I only use a coin on my turrets. If you dont overtighten them it's no problem but that tool should be put in every vortex box. Thanks for a great video on this scope 👍👍
I under stood the part about the dust cover for the scope but after that, I never understood anything else you talked about. I have this scope but you make it hard to understand how to use it. Guess I need to go to college and take up how to use a strike eagle 101 , 201 and 301. Or I can just just hold over. Yea , that's it. I'll just use hold over. Sounds simple enough. Now need to waist 3 years of collage .
This thing is very feature rich for the price can't be beat. The only next best thing in Vortex line would be the Viper PST gen II, then the razor AMG $699.99
Hey! What height of scope rings did you use?
medium
I have the strike eagle 1-6 power scope put it on a savage model 10 for fun mostly. 2 days ago I shot a 3 shot group that measured .25 inches! At 100 yards. I might have to upgrade to this larger strike eagle to really take advantage of the rifles accuracy. For anyone wondering I bought the savage new for 460 bucks. And it's easily shot 1 moa and better.... With a 6 power scope.
Glass Quality ?
Following you and watching your videos! I have not seen them all .. yet
I do however have a question - I am looking for a rifle as a startup kit - I have been looking at the ruger precision rifle. 1 issue thus, doesnt come in links.
Could you perhaps point me in the right direction?
low/medium budget 2000-2500 dollars with out accessories and scope (here I am planning on going Vortex)
I've had nothing but problems with both of my 3-18x44 strike eagle scopes. They claim the turrets can be reset to zero after sighting in but they don't seem to be, the markings never line back up.
Good video
I've decided to get my first rifle because of your channel - and it's going to be a precision/hunting rifle ^_^ so I can do both.
I'm going for the LSS-XL gen 2 chassis and a HOWA 24" heavy barrel in 6.5 cm. I notice you have a sweet action and bolt on your ACC... would you recommend upgrading my HOWA barrel or bolt in any way, or is it good as is from brownells for precision shooting (link below)? I'm still a bit new to upgrading bolts, barrels, and actions. Thanks!
www.brownells.com/rifle-parts/receiver-parts/receivers/barreled-receivers/1500-6-5-creedmoor-24-threaded-heavy-barreled-action-prod103531.aspx
Hey! @IMPACT SHOOTING i just got an optic from my firearms school and it has an absolutely HUGE eye relief (10-11 inches/ 24-28cm) i cant place it anywhere on my ar receiver and comfortably get a perfect view with very minimal vignette, id have to place it at the near end of my 15 inch handguard just to get good eye relief (which is a no-no) a cantilever mount would be my best bet but feel that even that will not allow me enough room . any tips would be GREATLY appreciated ! thanks!
so it has 51 MRAD with out and it takes 13 off when using the zero stop so thats 38 MRAD did you test that on a 0 or 20moa base
So what's the price tag on it now $699.00 or do you a link to get us a deal with 5% or 10% off the price?
Got a vortex 24 power diamond back on my ruger M77 243 moa radical......transformed my 1k shots
Beautiful rifle setup!!!!! Love the videos!!!!!
Nice scope.I love Vortex Scopes.
They have the Best Warranty.The Glass in their scopes made in Japan and Philippines are so much better than the ones made in China.
I wish they would not make any more in Cheap Ass China
Because of your channel videos it helped me making the decision to purchase the Vortex strike eagle. Made a world of difference in my long range shooting. Hope Vortex sees this and helps your channel even more to do more awesome videos. 👍👍👍👍 Great channel. From Johannesburg, South Africa
Just picked up this scope last week, had to come back and rewatch your video, it was one of the reason I wanted this particular model. Now I just need scope rings and ammo. Keep up the great work, thanks for the video.
Nice channel ! Subscribed a few days ago. Like it !
What type of mounting rings do you use ? Which hight is it ?
Keep it up !
Damnit. I just received my Razor Gen II on Thursday and I knew this review was coming. Lol. Should have waited. One question that no one ever seems to mention on these more affordable models is, is the entire EBR 7C Mrad reticle illuminated like it is in the Razor Gen II? The "Christmas Tree" and all or just the dot and crosshairs?
Man I was ready to buy this scope until I saw it’s made in China .😩
hi great video.do you think it is a good scope for long range shooting on a 6.5 creedmoor/300 win mag?
Hi Pieter, would it be possible to do a comparison review between the strike eagle and the element optics titan? Maybe Matt can get involved with a side by side comparison?
Isn't your objective too close to the barrel? At the point where the chamber ends?
This channel is so awesome. I love the way you started the video it was so satisfying. Keep up the great work.
What gun are you shooting? I lowkey want one .lol
Wish they would have made a SFP version like the original for those of us that hate FFP
So... I want to put either the Strike Eagle 5-25 or the Viper PST 5-25 on my fast twist 223... It seems that the SE has a whole bunch more features on it for the R19k, vs. the Viper's 25k... The only thing I really can see being a difference where the viper comes out on top is the glass clarity...
The question then is... Does the viper's extra 25% in price translate to 25% better glass...? The SE seems like insane value for money and I'm leaning towards it for the 223 (especially as I won't be taking that many long shots >750m).
You’re not going to go wrong with the SE 🏆
It would be nice to see a side by side comparison of the glass quality with a camera looking through. Otherwise it's just specs talk.
Any updated range video on this scope? Always interested in longer term reviews.
Good straightforward review, have a couple of Vortex but will save pennies to invest in one of these in time.👍👍
Hi Pieter, hoe kom mens in aanraking met jou? Ek stel belang aan die Oryx Chassis, maar het n paar vra.
Hey Pieter, I wonder if you have tried the Horus tremor 3 reticle in the vortex Razor.
Hola no me da mi presupuesto para tener esa belleza ojala algun dia la pueda tener gracias soy un carzador deportivo
