What are the ranges on the scope

Manufacturer Answer
A
Answered by Vortex, Manufacturer from WI, United States, on February 03, 2025

This optic has a magnification range of 3x on the low end, and 9x on the high end. Using catridges like .45-70, .350 Legend, and .450 Bushmaster, you should have usable holds to 250-300 yards!

Will this work on a ruger 6.5 ?

Expert Answer
A
Answered by Hunter, Gear Expert, from OH, United States, on August 30, 2022

The Vortex Crossfire II Straight-Wall 3-9x50mm Rifle Scope has a BDC reticle designed to be used with straight wall cartridges. I recommend using another model of the Vortex Crossfire II if you are wanting to use it on a 6.5 Creedmoor. The models at the link below would be a better option.

any recommendations on scope and mount for AR 10 .308 Win. with luminous cross hair in Vortex or Arken in 34mm Tube FFP 5×25×56 thank you

Answered by Ethan, Gear Expert, from IL, United States, on August 29, 2022

I would recommend the Swampfox Hostile Engagement Sight Mount, which features a 1.60" centerline height which will provide enough clearance for a 56mm objective lens and allow for a comfortable head position when using on the AR10 platform. You can find the mount by using the link below:

Trucker, member, from MI, United States, asked on August 20, 2022

can someone recommend a scope with luminatated Reticle for .350 Ledgend and mount for AR 15 pict rail was looking at Vortex or Arken thanks

Expert Answer
A
Answered by Ethan, Gear Expert, from IL, United States, on August 29, 2022

I would recommend the Vortex Viper PST 2.5-10x44 Rifle Scope, which features a mult-cal reticle compatible with 350 Legend and will withstand the recoil. I would then recommend the 30mm Swampfox Hostile Engagement Sight Mount, which provides an elevated head position making it more comfortable and usable on the AR15/Ar10 platform. Both products can be found linked below:

rmh, guest, from IA, United States, asked on April 23, 2022

Would this scope be durable enough for the 450 bushmaster? If so, what Rings to mount to a Ruger American Ranch?

Expert Answer
A
Answered by Hunter, Gear Expert, from OH, United States, on May 05, 2022

Yes, the Vortex Crossfire II Straight-Wall 3-9x50mm Rifle Scope will work well with a rifle chambered in 450 Bushmaster. I recommend using the 1" diameter high rings located at the link below.

Will this work on my Marlin 30-30

Expert Answer
A
Answered by Hunter, Gear Expert, from OH, United States, on March 11, 2022

The Vortex Crossfire II Straight-Wall 3-9x50mm Rifle Scope will probably be too large to mount on a Marlin 30-30. The scope located at the link below would be a good choice for that rifle.
