The Vortex Strike Eagle 1-10×24 FFP is a compact Low Power Variable Optic (LPVO) featuring a first-focal-plane EBR-8 reticle and motion-activated illumination. Measuring 10 inches in length and weighing 21.6 oz, it is designed for AR-platform versatility, balancing close-quarters speed at 1x with a 10x magnification ceiling and a BDC reticle for mid-range identification and engagement.

The FFP BDC reticle on this LPVO has much to recommend it.

First introduced by Vortex in early 2026, the 1-10×24 FFP model represents a shift in the Strike Eagle line toward higher magnification in a reduced footprint. Because the EBR-8 reticle is located in thefirst focal plane (FFP), the subtensions for BDC holdovers and ranging remain technically accurate across the entire magnification range.

  • Magnification: 1x to 10x
  • Objective Lens: 24mm
  • Tube Size: 30mm
  • Eye Relief: 3.7 inches
the Vortex Strike Eagle 1-10x24 FFP is the fifth in the Strike Eagle but the first to have motion activation.
The Vortex Strike Eagle 1-10×24 FFP is the fifth optic in their “Strike Eagle” FFP lineup. This is the first LPVO (maybe the first riflescope?) that Vortex has added motion activation to.

“The other cool thing that we added…this is the first LPVO that – and maybe the first riflescope – that we’ve added motion activation to. So after ten minutes, if it’s sitting in your safe, or…you’re not using it, the reticle illumination will turn off. And then, as soon as you pick the rifle up, it’ll pop back on.” ~ Rob Morell, Vortex Product Development Team

The 1-10x24 Strike Eagle is a couple inches shorter and a couple ounces lighter than its 1-8 predecessor.
Interestingly, the 1-10×24 Strike Eagle is a couple of inches shorter and a couple of ounces lighter than the previous (less-powerful) 1-8x version.

A notable technical feature of this model is the motion-activated illumination system. The optic is designed to power the reticle immediately upon detecting movement, while a 10-minute auto-shutoff timer helps preserve CR2032 battery life.

  • Settings: 11 total (9 daylight, 2 night-vision compatible)
  • Reticle: Glass-etched EBR-8 (available in MOA or MRAD)

Like the 1-8 version, the 1-10 has the EBR 8 MOA BDC reticle. However, there is also the option of using an MRAD BDC reticle. It’s a mil-tree reticle with additional BDC drop dots nested inside.

Morell explains, “We thought it was going to be too busy and there’s going to be too much going on…then after we prototyped a couple different designs, we found it was actually pretty usable.  The other nice thing with it is, if you want to run illumination, every other drop dot is illuminated.”

They also eliminated the ranging features on the 12:00 position to open up the field of few (a change they received from their customers on the EBR-8 reticle).

At 10 inches in total length, this optic occupies less rail space than many traditional 1-6x or 1-8x LPVOs. This compact design is particularly relevant to users running secondary rail-mounted accessories, such as laser aiming modules or clip-on NODs.

  • Length: 10.0″
  • Weight: 21.6 oz
  • Turrets: Low-profile capped
The 1-10 power Strike Eagle features new glass types and optical design to prevent degredation of contrast and resolution.
Votex dev team member Rob Morell advises that the 1-10 will be (optically) very similar to the 1-8. This required a new optical system, as implementing the 1-10 without changing the magnification, glass types, and optical design would have degraded contrast and resolution.
