Guys,
We got the scope for one day way back on March when it was on its way to IWA from the Shot Show. That’s when the pic was taken.

The Savage had a 20MOA rail and the only mount we had handy also had a 20MOA taper.

With 40MOA we couldn’t get a 100 yd zero for our tests so we turned it round – thus no taper.

Didn’t seem necessary to re-shoot the photos for this latest test. Didn’t reckon on so many Eagle-eyed readers…

‘bubble facing the front…’ maybe they are on both sides?

Gonna be tough ensuring the rifle is level with the bubble facing the front…

Editor: Elsewhere Vince acknowledged that the rings (in that photo) needed to be remounted. That was a very quick mount job done for photo purposes only, during Target Shooter’s first view of the Golden Eagle which had to be returned right away. Vince’s full review is from a later test.

I just recently got mine and after using the NF BR scopes it is a welcome change. I really like the reticle and how you don’t have a big gap between the dot and the horizontal posts. I can actually use this scope to hold wind.

I’ve used it in one match and most likely will update all my NF BR scopes to Vortex Golden Eagle.

Myself and Todd in the shop both ran the Golden Eagle at this years U.S. F Class Champs. They ran great with no issues. Most of the time I had mine set right around 40x.
