Experience is the hardest kind of teacher, it gives the test 1st and the lesson after.

Courage is knowing it may hurt and doing it anyway.
Stupidity is the same.
This is why life is so hard.

I see there are also Swampfox Arrowhead 1-10x on Dvor for $409 for another half day.   That's pretty tempting as well.

Some other honorable mentions there are Riton X3 Tactix 1-8X24 on gunbroker for $265  shipped. But the deal on the Strike eagle is the best value right now I think.

Vortex has the most name recognition for me.  I've seen a lot of SwampFox optics for sale on Classic Firearms.  I wonder if they're any count?  They are priced pretty competively.  They have a lot of Riton on there also.

That's still a helluva deal on the Vortex, the mount alone usually goes for $99.

The guys who run Swamp Fox are all ex Vortex employees. Their quality is on par with Vortex because they are made by the same manufacture in China and Japan to the same standards on most products. I’ve seen a lot of reviews and all of them favorable.

Yeah, and they didn't even charge sales tax.   I have been eyeing a couple Burris RT-6s on ebay that were open box for just a bit under $300, but that was a better deal with the mount and no tax, I couldn't resist, heck I'm surprised I made it all day before relenting.

The 1-8x deal is still going, and I see they have the 1-6x for $250 with mount using code- EAGLE  Not free shipping like 1-8x, but standard shipping is only $5.39

Dvor has Opmod (flat dark earth colored) Strike eagle in both the 1-6x and 1-8x for $225 and $299 respectively for the next 4 days. Many other things like some good prices on Rise armament triggers and TWS AK receiver cover mount as well.

That’s a pretty kick ass deal for a 1x8. I’ve been wanting one for awhile now but have been holding out for a FFP version which I’m not sure if vortex even has and other companies who do like PA have higher prices on them the a SFP.

My 1x6 is a FFP and I really love it. I know what the difference between the two is and how they work but wats the real world difference? Is it that big of a deal?

I have a 1-5X FFP, I don't find FFP that much more useful on low power scopes, it was nice on the 12x and up ones I have used. 

It had been hard to find the FDE strike eagles for a while, they must have caught up production finally.
