First crossfire - Vortex Crossfire II AO 6-18x44mm 1in Tube Second Focal Plane Rifle Scope

I own several Vortex Viper series scopes and love them. I decided to try this Crossfire series to put on a Savage Lady Hunter 243 Win I picked up for the grandsons and ladies. I've only had it to the range for one session, but am impressed for the price. The glass is Vortex clear with only very slight distortion at peripheral edge. Crosshairs are crisp and a nice size... not quite covering a 3/8" dot at 100 yds. The mil dots are dead on. The power adjustment ring is stiff and I hope it will loosen a bit with use. The parallax adjustment objective bell is also dead on at 100 yds. I haven't gone out further than that yet. Once I get a load worked up for the rifle, I'll run it through a box test, but for what little I've adjusted the scope it appears to be tracking accurately. The E / W adjustments are positive, but a bit soft and not very audible but for this set up and intended use, I anticipate dialing it in at 100 yds. and not moving it. For my first venture in the Vortex "lower end", I am very satisfied. For the $$$, quality, customer service and outstanding warranty, Vortex optics cannot be beat.
