Solid across the board - Vortex Crossfire II 4-12x44mm 1in Tube Second Focal Plane Rifle Scope

I bought this scope for my Howa 1500 Ranchland in .243. I put it on medium height Vortex HS rings. Basically this scope easily compares to my Bushnell Elite 3200. The optics are bright, clear, and the reticle is fantastic. Adjustments are easy and precise. Fit and finish is definitely excellent. I hope to never use Vortex's warranty, but I'm aware that it is second to none (other than possibly Leupold). I don't have any $500 scopes to compare to, but I don't have a rifle expensive enough to justify much more than this scope. The value proposition on this model is hard to beat. Compares easily to the Burris Fullfield II I'd been looking through and thinking about (for almost 2x). I new I had a good thing when the turret cover aligned the Vortex logo perfectly when tightened down. Excellent.
Pros: Brightness, Clarity, Build Quality, Reticle
Cons: None Yet
