Great scope for the money
Sometimes you aren’t in the market for a thousand dollar plus scope. This scope is not that pricey, indeed it is quite affordable. Despite the fact that it won’t cost you a fortune, it does not sacrifice quality. In its price range, I have found its optical quality to be unequaled. The windage and elevation controls were both audible and tactile. I found the dials to be precise and repeatable, which surprised me for a scope in this price range. The magnification dial was smooth with enough resistance to not move inadvertently. The same can also be said of the objective parallax adjustment.
The coolest feature of this scope is the reticle. Out of my rifle it will put a .223 dead center at 100 yards using the center crosshair. Each subsequent hash mark works out perfectly to 100 yard increments with my rifle and load. The reticle does this in a streamlined, easy to see way that does not obstruct the sight picture.

Great Value - Great Scope
I waited 32 years to replace the scope on my Remington 700 Classic. I'm glad I wait. The Crossfire ll has proved to be a great scope for the money. I'm not rich and live on a fixed income. So, I have to watch how I spend money. The Vortex is a fantastic scope for the money. It ranks up there ...

Vortex Crossfire II
Received a total mess of a scope. Elevation turret was mush. Horizontal turret was crooked. Did not hold a zero. Chinese junk. Got prepaid postage back to Vortex and they shipped me a new one with no problems within a week. Good thing for the warranty. You will need it.
Pros: warranty
Cons: Shipp...

Very good for inexpensive
I got this scope as a packaged deal. Came with a Thompson Center Compass and scope ring. The entire package was $225. I did expect much for an inexpensive scope but I was surprised. The glass is pretty clear, this is becoming more common with newer scopes. The clarity drops off at max magnification and the eye-box gets smaller, however it's easily up there with scopes in the $300-400. My Athlon Argos and my Nikon Monarch are a set above but at over 3 times the price.
This would be the perfect scope for rim-fire all the way up to a hunting rifle. I'm not sure if it would survive on an AR-10 or a Scar.
I lost my elevation turret cap. Vortex sent me two new ones, stickers and a free hat. Your gonna get taken care of if there is a problem.

Perfect on a 10/22 for plinking
I started with the Vortex 2-7 Rimfire and found I wanted more magnification and an adjustable objective. This scope fits the bill. I had an absolute blast plinking steel over a long weekend. Everyone that tried it was also impressed and assumed the scope is more expensive than it was (got mine on sale). We were all able to nail golf ball sized targets out to 50 yards on the first shot, and shooting steel was easy and too much fun. This on a 10/22 seems like peanut butter and jelly, it’s light and fits great on the little Ruger.
Would recommend: Yes
Great scope, fast shipping.
Couldn’t be happier ordering from optics planet, cheaper than Amazon and shipped in 2 days free.
Would recommend: Yes
Great clarity
But the scope to put on a 1022 to shoot bull’s-eye targets at 50 feet. The adjustable parallax and focus and clarity are excellent. Well worth the money.
Would recommend: Yes
4x12x40 vortex
Great scope for the money, I like them well enough that I own three of them now. Never had an issue with any of them and one has been on the gun for two years.
Would recommend: Yes
Clear view.
Not a professional, don't play one on TV.
Just a hunter/plinker. Prefer FFP, but didn't want to pay the extra. Don't take shots over 300 yds so this is plenty for 25 06. Does have a bit of a tunnel at full zoom, but I don't expect perfection at this price point.
Would like an illuminated reticle, other optics offer at this price point, but the view is more clear with this. I have SFP optics on my PCP rifles and include the illuminated reticle, and are fine out to 100 yds. or so.
40mm is smaller than my usual 50mm but it allows enough light in for most situations. The older you get the more light the better and more magnification is a plus. My other hunting scope is a Vortex 4-16X50 on an old Model 70 300 Win Mag. I figured 12 was enough for the 300 yd max potential for a 25 06 projectile.

It'll do the job
The Crossfire 4-12x40mm is a good scope in its price range. Good clarity but not as good as the Diamondbacks that I have. My biggest concern is the eye box, at 12 power it is small and very touchy. The scope was meant to be a hunting scope but it is best used as a 10 power and not 12 power to aviod the eyebox problem.
Pros:
- decent clarity for the price
Cons:
- small eyebox at full power
Best Used for:
- hunting
Would recommend: Yes
Nice scope, good price
Optics Planet gave me a good deal on another nice Vortex scope. I have Crossfire II scopes on both my .22 rifles, and am pleased.
Did have to get a 40 MOA base for the 10/22, as it was close to being out of elevation. Nice to be able to adjust focus and parallax at 10 yards. Nice reticle, and dead hold marks are handy. Thanks Vortex and Optics Planet.

O.P. & Vortex are great combo
This is a nice scope for short/medium distance rifles. Good glass,fit & finish, and the adjustable optic lens make it a "best bang for the buck" choice for your sub-magnum guns.
Would recommend: Yes
