Vortex Golden Eagle 15-60x52 Overview

The Golden Eagle HD 15-60x52 Riflescope from Vortex Optics is designed for the competitive shooter who requires high accuracy and a tack-sharp image. It features the ECR-1 MOA reticle with hashmarked subtension lines in the second focal plane. A wide 52mm objective gathers enough light to provide bright images, and the lenses are fully multi-coated with proprietary index-matched XRPlus anti-reflection coatings for maximum transmission and minimum glare. Plasma Tech technology enhances their durability. To offer balanced spectral color transmission, low dispersion of passing light, and to deliver high definition true-color images, the riflescope features an apochromatic optical system and lenses that are crafted from high definition High Density (HD) Extra-low dispersion optical glass. ArmorTek ultra-hard scratch-resistant coatings protect the optics from scratches, debris, dirt, and oil.

The 30mm tube is lightweight but strong, and its single-piece machined aluminum construction maximizes alignment for improved accuracy and optimum visual performance. It is O-ring sealed waterproof, argon-filled, fogproof, and impact-resistant. A 1/8 MOA-per-click impact point adjustment allows competitive shooters to fine-tune their shots. An aperture stop ring broadens the depth of focus, allowing the shooter to more easily observe down-range mirage and other wind indicators while keeping the target in focus. The Golden Eagle HD comes with screw-on aluminum eyepiece and objective lens covers.

Vortex Golden Eagle 15-60x52 Reviews

These scopes track like a train with Mussolini conducting. No waiting for the reticles to settle in. They're just there and stay there. Only you know what magnification you'll need. Mine almost never leave 60x. The ECR-1 reticle works surprising well, the dot is sufficiently small enough yet easy enough to use no matter if you're holding off or dead on for any target I ever saw. And isn't as busy as it looks in print. Taking into account that everybody's eyes see through scopes differently for me these are a little less bright and seem to make  mirage direction just slightly harder to read than say a Leupold Comp. Others say just the opposite. But the reason I didn't give the Golden Eagle 5 stars is because of its overly fine parallax adjustment that makes it hard to dial in just right. All in all though I'd say they're the best value in a dependable real benchrest scope out there.
