Specifically designed for discriminating hunters and shooters, the Crossfire II series of riflescopes offer the highest levels of performance and reliability. With long eye relief, a fast-focus eyepiece, fully multi-coated lenses and resettable MOA turrets, there's no compromising on the Crossfire II. Clear, tough and bright, this riflescope hands other riflescopes their hat. The hard anodized single-piece aircraft-grade aluminum tube is nitrogen purged and o-ring sealed for waterproof and fogproof performance.

Dual use for Shooting Tactical/Hunting

Dead-Hold BDC MOA Reticle

  • Customized hashmark design helps eliminate guesswork on holdover and windage corrections. Good for hunting/shooting at varying ranges where estimating holdover is a concern.
  • Second focal plane (SFP) reticles are located near the scope’s eyepiece behind the image erecting and magnifying lenses. This style of reticle does not visually change in size when you change the magnification. The advantage of an SFP reticle is that it always maintains the same appearance. Listed reticle subtensions used for estimating range, holdover, and wind drift correction are only accurate at one particular magnification.

Although I am probably biased because I am a big vortex fan anyways, this is one of my favorite Vortex products for the quality you're getting at the price you pay. I have received many compliments on the clarity and accuracy while using this scope. It is easy to mount, easy to adjust, and has a very large eye relief zone in my opinion which makes it nice for anyone trying it out. This would make a great gift for any hunter in your life!

I have two of these on rimfire rifles and they never disappoint, Vortex makes a great product even in their lower lines. Holds zero well and consistently on point at 100 yards with over 2500 rounds no issues. Well worth the money will be looking at them in the future if I need more optics.

This scope is nice and clear and very well made. If you should happen to break it, Vortex has one of the best, " no questions asked" warranty on the market. It isn't quite as clear as my PST Gen 2, but that scope was 4 times the cash. I didn't want to spend too much on a scope as it's for my 11yr old son. At $150 this fit the bill and I don't have to worry about him breaking it. Recommend

5.0 out of 5 stars Third Vortex purchased
Reviewed in Canada on April 28, 2024
Style: Dead-Hold BDCSize: 6-18x44 AOVerified Purchase
This is my third Vortex purchased within 12 months. The Crossfire II’s line of products, for me, has as good as glass to those scopes priced double, triple, and beyond. The glass clarity, build quality and construction exceeds my expectation.

This recent purchase, crossfire II 6 - 18 x 44 scope, I typically buy scopes with a 50mm objective lens. Honestly, the 44mm objective lens has no significant difference in brightness than a 50mm. I am extremely pleased.

5.0 out of 5 stars Vortex. Awesome quality and performance at sensible prices
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 29, 2023
Style: Dead-Hold BDCSize: 4-12x50 AOVerified Purchase
I have used many different scopes over the years and have several top end brands mounted on my top end rifles, but I also have a number of working rifles that are not premium brands that needed high end scopes so I tried Vortex. I now have 5 on various rifles and the performance is brilliant for the price. Higher end performance at a sensible price that competes with some of my top end scopes that cost three times as much. Robust, well engineered, excellent glass and feature packed performance, couple that with their excellent guarantee and it’s easy to see why they are so well reviewed.

Reviewed in Germany on October 11, 2023
Style: Dead-Hold BDCSize: 4-12x50 AOVerified Purchase
Bei dem Glas handelt es sich bereits um mein Drittes von Vortex. Ich bin begeistert von dem Preis Leistungsverhältnis.

Die Verarbeitung ist tadellos und die optischen Eigenschaften sind bemerkenswert. Klare Durchsicht, gute Radschärfe, Dioptrienverstellung und ein feines gut fokussierbares Fadenkreuz. Die Treffpunktlage ist stabil von .22 lfB bis .308 win.

Natürlich ist es kein Zeiss, Kahles oder Swarovski, aber wer diese Markenprodukte kauft, lässt sich im Fachhandel beraten und nutzt nicht die hiesige Plattform.

Also klare Kaufempfehlung!

Nicht zu vergessen die Garantie, welche die Firma Vortex auf seine Produkte gibt. Diese hebt sich von den Mitbewerbern in dieser Klasse deutlich ab.
