Vortexvortex Crossfire Ii 3-9X40 Rifle Scope, V-Brite Reticle Cf2-31025

The scope was purchased to replace a Walther, used for pest control with a CO2 rifle on private property, my typical working distance is from 15-80mtr. This new Crossfire ii has not been fitted and zeroed yet (purchased rings won't fit the rail), so I am reviewing the general usability and feel, whilst highlighting limitations such as minimum working distance, which is fine for live round rifles, but is more than required by CO2 or air rifles. This scope feels sturdy, The reticle adjustment works to get a crisp view of the reticle and it's illuminated red dot at the reticle centre (not projected to target), this will be welcome as light levels fall, although it is a little less bright than I would have hoped. Elevation & windage adjusters have a light/subtle touch without loud clicks. The image is bright and sharp at distances over 100mtr but lacking an adjustable objective lens or parallax adjustment leads to greater blurring as subject range gets closer, or when using higher magnifications; it may become more usable at close distances by using lowest magnification(3x), although this could lead to eye straining. A similar scope with parallax adjustment would be considerably more expensive, Scopes can be adjusted by service centres to bring the minimum focus nearer "Re-Parallaxing" (probably a turn or two of the objective lens). I'll consider this but it may invalidate warranty, in which case I will return the item unused. This review will be updated after checking if it can be adjusted to bring it within the working range of a CO2 rifle and after test firing. April 2021- Still works well, helps to achieve tight groups and holds it's settings. Focus was brought closer by adjusting the objective lens with a suitable tool.

Mieux que j’aurais crue, bonne qualité fait le boulot

Super Optik hält was sie verspricht . leicht zum justieren , gute Schussfestigkeit kal. 223. rem. Keine Probleme Rotpunkt in der mitte des Fadenkreutzes kann nach belieben ein ,aus und stärker od schwächer gestellt werden. Batterie ist im Lieferumfang enthalten. Preis , Leistung und Qualität wie rewartet top von Vortex. Für Hobbyschützen klare Kaufempfehlung .

Comparing this Vortex to other scopes in the same general price range: - glass is generally clearer - reticle is crisp - love the duplex dot - adjustments are accurate and consistient - looks and feels like a quality optic It will not replace a $3000.00 scope, but it is highly functional for a hunting rifle that will suffer abuse in the field. If I were being picky I would like the windage and elevation adjustments to be a little crisper and maybe even with an audible "click" I did have to use the warranty, completely my fault.....I changed from a QD mount to Vortec Pro Rings and in a rush did not use my torque screwdriver. I overtightened the rings substantially which bent the scope tube. This effected the windage adjustment and made the elevation inconsistient (impact intermittently moved between two points about 2.5" apart). I emailed Vortex, they sent me pre-paid postage to return the scope and within 7 days sent me a brand new scope. Their technician noted the bent scope tube was the problem and expressed the importance of properly torqing scope rings ...which I needed to hear. No one wants to use a warranty....however if you need it, even if you caused the problem, Vortex makes the process a pleasurable experience and truely follows their word without gimmicks and deception. They straight up fix or replace efficiently and without costing you a dime. You just will not find better customer service out there. I would put this scope right near, if not at the top, of budget scopes $300 and under in its own right. The no-fault warranty and amazing customer service are in a class by themselves.

Good little scope . I love vortex products.

Great buy for the money! I mounted the scope and love the long eye relief. The lenses are clear and seems good with low light conditions. I bought the lighted red dot reticle for bear hunting so that I can see the dot against the black fur in low light conditions. I can't comment on the durability at this time since it is new, but feel safe with the lifetime transferable warranty.
