Questions & Answers
What is the exit pupil? Manufacturer Answer

Exit pupil calculations on variable magnification systems are not so straightforward as they are on fixed systems, and would vary depending on the magnification setting, otherwise. For more information, reach out to Vortex directly at info@vortexoptics.com

What's the difference between this Crossfire HD and the Diamondback HD 16-48×65? Other than sale price, since they have the same magnification Manufacturer Answer

The Diamondback will offer slightly better optical quality over the Crossfire-HD, resulting in brighter, sharper images.
