Vortex Optics Golden Eagle HD 15-60x52 SCR-1 MOA Riflescope with Vortex Hat and/or Vortex MountBundle - TCS-1501_121-53-BCA
The Golden Eagle HD offers a unique set of features specifically designed for F Class and Bench Rest competition shooters. The 15-60x magnification range, ultra-precise 1/8 MOA adjustments and extremely fine, second focal plane reticle options help maximize precision on known-distance long-range targets. All these features and more are complimented by a top-tier optical system making for a super-sharp target picture down range and the ability to read mirage and other wind indicators accurately. Equally impressive, the Golden Eagle weighs in at a relatively light 29.5 ounces, helping shooters adhere to strict competition weight limits. When you’re going for gold in F Class or Bench Rest, go for the Golden Eagle.
