Golden Eagle® HD 15-60x52 ECR-1 (MOA) Riflescope
Competitive shooters require a very specific set of features to stay ahead of the competition, and The Golden Eagle hits the mark (pun intended). The 15-60x magnification, fine reticle, and positive and repeatable tracking are perfect for fine tuning that record shot. Plus, its relatively light weight—29.5 oz.—allows shooters to adhere to strict competition weight limits.
Whether you’re interested in Rimfire Bench Rest, Centerfire Bench Rest, NRA High-Power or F-Class competitions, this is the scope for you.

I would like to use a Golden Eagle for F Class shooting at 1000 yards. It will be mounted on my RPR with a 20 MOA rail. What mounts should I use? DO I need an additional 20 MOA in the rings to get out to 1000 yard mark?
what other Vortex scopes have an 1/8 MOA adjustment or equivalent in Mrads?
I am buying a Golden Eagle and I am putting it on my Savage 10 Ashbury, with a 20 moa rail mount. Would that mount be adequate for 1 mile shots or would I need a 30 moa or 40 moa rail? How much elevation does the Golden Eagle have?
I shoot at a range that goes out to 1200 yards. I shoot either a 300 win mag or a Springfied 30-06 with Hornady SST or ELD-X. Is this Scope suited to these Rifles?
I currently have the Razor HD on a 6.5 creedmoor but planning to move it to a 50 BMG...if i put the Golden Eagle on the 6.5 whats the max range i could expect to get out of it for long range shooting?
on the parallax wheel is only 20 indicated. Which distance are the following indicators? 20 steps or different? Please give me some advice!
I would like to mount a Golden Eagle to a FN SPR A5M XP, which rings and ring height would recommend.
Will I have any issues mounting this scope on a 223/5.56 rifle with a muzzle break? I'm wondering if the internals will have any issues with longevity or holding a proper zero and maintaining POI. Thank you
