Venom vs strike eagle

[Gryntch]

Vortex strike eagle 4-24x50 for $300 or venom 5x25x56 for $400 which one is the best bench shooting out to 500 yd

 

[MikeMiller]

Both are better than price suggests. I would get the 5-25

 

[MO Fugga]

Got the Strike Eagle in 5x25. Love it

 

[DM1975]

I would think it would come down to if you want first or second focal plane with those two options. The 4-24 strike eagle (unlike the 5-25 strike eagle) appears to be second focal plane. For me that would be a deal breaker in that magnification range. It also appears to only be available in MOA if that matters to you or not.

 

[Gryntch]

Moaning is fine and sfp is OK but how about clarity

 

[Gryntch]

Oops I meant M O A is fine

There’s a reason the sfp Strike Eagles were discontinued. Between those two the Venom but even it isn’t all that great clarity wise. I would step up to the Strike Eagle 5-25 as the minimum.

You stuck on Vortex or open to others?

 

[DM1975]

If it’s the same glass that the 5-25 strike eagle has then it’s pretty decent. I have one of the 5-25’s and like it allot. I would personally pick a 5-25 strike eagle over either of those but that’s just me.

Tried different brands vortex is what works for me but open to suggestions but budget only allows $500 to 700

It’s not.

I would look hard at the Bushnell Match Pro ED at that price range. At least that’s what I’m looking at next.

Take a look in the DNT and Arken 7-35x threads. They are both $599 from Doug at Cameraland.

OK one question and this big for me, how forgiving is the eyebox? Got a athlon midas tac with the worst eyebox ever it's in my cabinet as emergency back up

Spend a bit more and get a scope that blows them both away optically... I've had a Strike Eagle, and got rid of it. This scope's glass is far superior to the Strike Eagle, which is already superior to the Venom...

They are not the same scope or the same glass.

On the 5-25 strike eagle it’s pretty good. Better than on the gen 1 PST’s I have. Nice large ocular lens to look through.

The glass quality isn’t as good as the PST’s, but the eyebox is better.

Yes I’m aware they’re not the same scope. I wasn’t sure on the glass though.

Well I decided to get both strike eagle sfp for the new 22 mag I ordered and venom ffp on the Grendel I'm working on

I understand they are same glass, once you have both you can make comparisons and let us know what you think of both.
