Vortex Golden Eagle® HD 15-60x52 ECR-1 SFP MOA - Extreme Precision Competition

Overview

The Golden Eagle® HD 15-60x52 by Vortex Optics is a riflescope designed for extreme precision disciplines on known-distance targets, such as F-Class and Bench Rest. Its apochromatic HD optical system, combined with very low dispersion (ED) glass and XR anti-reflective coatings, guarantees a sharp and bright image even at maximum 60x magnification. A fitting choice for Swiss competitive shooters seeking flawless mechanical repeatability.

Technical Specifications

• 15-60x magnification: extreme range suited to long-range precision shooting
• 52 mm objective: optimized brightness for high power settings
• Second focal plane (SFP) with ECR-1 MOA reticle: hashed subtension lines for hold-over and windage correction, with a floating center dot subtending 0.095 MOA at 40x
• 30 mm one-piece aircraft-grade aluminum tube: robustness and rigidity for reliable zero retention
• Zero-stop turrets with wide range: 55 MOA elevation, 45 MOA windage, with 1/8 MOA clicks for fine adjustment
• Side-focus parallax adjustment: eliminates parallax at all shooting distances
• 76 mm eye relief: extended visual comfort during long shooting sessions
• Argon purging: waterproof, fogproof construction for use in all weather conditions
• Weight of 29.7 oz (approx. 842 g) for a length of 368 mm: compatible with the strict weight limits of certain competitions

Advantages

• Competition-grade optical clarity that lets you distinguish the finest details even at 60x magnification
• Precise, repeatable mechanical adjustment, essential for precision shooting on known targets
• Rugged aircraft-grade aluminum construction that withstands intensive training and competition conditions
• An ECR-1 reticle specifically designed for quick hold-over and wind corrections in Bench Rest and F-Class
• Waterproofing and fog resistance guaranteed by argon purging, for reliable outdoor use

Use and Maintenance

Clean the lenses with a microfiber cloth and a product suited to coated optical surfaces, avoiding any contact with abrasive solvents. Store the scope in a dry place to preserve the argon purge over the long term. Regular checks of turret tightness and rifle mounting are recommended before each precision shooting session.
