WOW

I bought a Leupold for my 308. It was junk. I took it back and bought this. All I can say, is, WOW. it zeroed in 4 shots, and it's clear at any distance. Dime size groups at 200 yrds.

Awesome optics

Added this scope on my 6. 5 creedmore, awesome scope with excellent optics, and with a lifetime warranty you cant go wrong. Dialed in at 100 yards in 3 shots. My son liked it so much I haven't seen it since I bought it.

Crossfire 2 6-18×44

I have had this Scope 2 years on my Ruger American Ranch in 300BO. It's Amazing! I have never had to re adjust zero. It gets bumped around and still holds true. 400 yards is my longest range, no problems. I would recommend this scope to anyone. I can't say yeah or nay about the Lifetime time warranty and service. "I have never needed it" as of yet. knock on Wood! The Only Disappointment I have had is. I Didn't get a fee Vortex Hat with my scope.

FANTASTIC BUY!

Have two of these scopes and do not regret them. Stays on track with 308 recoil and 6.5 creedmoor. Would definitely recommend anything Vortex. Their warrant service is the best in my opinion. They will never let you be dissatisfied.

Value and durability

I purchased this scope before my annual hunting trip. I wanted to upgrade from my last scope, but I am new to hunting and wanted to keep my cost down. After much reading and searching I decided to go with this one. This scope has held up to my 30-06, walking miles through public hunting land, climbing up and down in my tree stand (I was using a climber), all done by an amateur hunter. Last hunting season was my third hunting season. The scope has held zero and never had to be resighted. I would also like to mention I shot my first deer ever while using this scope so I will always have an attachment with it. This is a quality and durable scope at a value price.

great value awesome performance!

I purchased this scope to match the accuracy of my Savage model 93BTSV in .22WMR as varmint combo.I had the optic mounted and bore sighted at the dealer where it was purchased.The sight in process started at 50 yards, it took only 12 rounds to get it dialed in. After barrel break in and approximately 350 rounds later I am very pleased with the performance of this optic! I highly recommend this product!

Amazing product

Started with the crossfire 2 2-7x32 for my 336 and it was just a pair that was meant to be and far exceeds most 3-9x40 from other manufacturers so I doubled down and got a 6-18x44 for my 6.5 and shot that out to a grand with 20 Moa scope rail. So impressed I bought another one this time a Sonora 4-12x44 for my 243. Now I?m addicted and looking for a vortex for my 30-06, needless to say I have a bunch of Wever and bushnell scopes for sale lol

Optical quality leaves much to be desired

At magnification above 12x the image is blurry (almost foggy) outside of the center. Quite disappointing. Objective focusing is so stiff, that you need two hands to hold the rifle and one additional hand to muscle the objective. I have only two hands, unfortunately.

Awesome hunting scope

Had this for about a year. Let me tell you-a budget rifle with this scope is producing 1/2 MOA results. Granted that budget rifle is in a 6.5cm. Still. There?s not a lot of scopes at this price point that can perform this well, be this crisp and bright, and have great versatility at the range and in the field.

Great cheap scope

I bought from optics planet, which messed up my order and sent the v-brite instead of the dead hold. But in all reality they both do the same thing. Have had it on my ar-10 and holds zero better than my brothers leupold

Spot on

Mounted this optic on a Remington 783/ 300 Win Mag. For an economy platform, 2 shots in the field at 200 yards, dow and a buck. My friends are all Vortex fans and I now know why.

Nikon replacement

Always been a Nikon man but now that they don't make scopes anymore I had to find a new brand. I've always heard good thing about Vortex so I started looking into them more. I was looking for a 4x12 power to put on my new Savage Mark II 22 rimfire, I know it's a bit of overkill but I'm shooting gophers out to 60 yard and my eyes are old like me, lol! Couldn't find the 4x12 with V-Plex reticle and while searching came across the 6-18x44 A/O scope with V-Plex reticle. Got it on sale for $169.00. Glass is very clear all the way to the edges on all power settings. Eye focus piece, zoom ring, and focus ring are all very firm to turn with no play whatsoever. Did a box test with Turrets and it returned to zero perfectly. Turrets both adjust with crisp audible clicks. Very pleased with my first Vortex purchase and think I have found my new go to brand, time will tell!!!

Dropped and held zero

I put this scope on a ruger 7mm08 for my kids to use, figured this would be a good entry level scope. My son and I were out chasing bugles and before I know it's dark and we're 1.3 miles from vehicle with only my cell phone for light. I trip a d the rifle drops on a rock, I thought for sure when I got back to a light something was broke, I was devastated because the hunt was almost over. Next morning we got a late start because I needed to check zero, and to my surprise we were still right on the money. Nothing changed. Verh impressed with the durability of this scope for the proce.

What a value

I own a couple of these, one on my 7 mag and 22-250. They perform perfectly, clear and hold zero. An amazing value.

Easy to use BDC! It works so well

I own 2 of these, one on my home build AR10 .308 and the other on my Bergara B14 Ridge. I use the BDC in conjunction with my STRELOK program and hold accordingly with the subtensions in the crosshairs and have connected at ranges from 230 yards to 465 yards. I also have a 4x12x44 on my .243 and both grandsons connected with one shot kills at 200 yards last night in low light, ages 9 and 12, youth friendly as well. Very happy with clear optics and ease of use, will buy another 4x12x44 for my 22-250..

Great Optic for the price point!

I bought this Crossfire 2 6-18x44 with the V-Brite reticle to mount on my Savage Model 10T-SR 6mm Creedmoor because I hunt and shoot in the wooded areas here in east Texas. I wanted a standard duplex(non BDC) reticle with illumination for hogs and coyotes and dusk and night time. I love the scope, the only issue I’ve had is the reticle has a slight counter clockwise cant to it when the body of the scope is level. It’s not a huge amount but enough to irritate me and my OCD. I checked with a plumb line and confirmed the slight cant, I ended up leveling the reticle to the rifle and checked the tracking. The tracking is still perfect, tracks straight up and down, not sideways. I know Vortex has an amazing warranty so that issue isn’t a big deal at all if I wanted to have it fixed. The optic checked all of the requirements I had for a hunting scope and was priced very appropriate. The tracking is perfect and only took a few shots to get dialed in, the scope responded exactly how it was adjusted. I’ve had no issue shooting Sub MOA and a few sub 1/2 MOA groups with my rifle at 100 yards. Bottom line is my perspective is Vortex offers great products and has the best warranty in the business. I would buy this again and again!

Superb Sight Picture

Simply the best scope for the price. Morning, Noon or Night this rifle scope is on point. Compare to high dollar rifle scopes i choose the Vortex Crosfire 11 6-18×44 AO.

Clear glass, focuses in easy, BDC!!

I bought this today to put together a 308 long range. I didn't want to spend as much as I have before on other ones. This one is a great scope for the money. I Have 3 other Vortex's that I paid alot more for. So I did alot of research and read a ton of reviews this time around. Took it out, shot a lot of rounds at the range and it worked great. Got a surprise when I opened the box and there was a nice sun shield in it. For 219. You can't go wrong.

Affordable and Reliable

I have bought two of the Vortex Crossfire II 6-18x44 with the V-brite reticle. One is on my CZ455 Varmint 22lr and one is on my daughters CZ455 22lr. We use them for indoor 22 competitions. She has won two of the competitions. They hold zero very well and are very clear.

I have this scope on my savage 25-06, set up for 200 yards plus, and I absolutely love it, can shoot sub Mia groups at 300 yards thanks to the clearing of the glass

Bang for your buck!

I bought this optic because it was affordable and stuck it on an old 30.06. It performed so well I switched it over to my go-to hunting rifle (30 nosler. I use it for mid-range hunting and it has been nothing short of great.

Clear and bright even at dusk with 44 objective lens collecting ample light. Mounted with Vortex CM-102. Great fit and finish.

Rocking Scope for a man on a budget

I bought this scope while i save up to buy a Viper for my Precision Rifle and couldn’t be happier with this scope. For the price you cannot beat it. Gor the price it beats alot of 400-600 scopes. Great buy. Great Company. Great Warranty can’t beat it.

Awesome optics, terrible newb choice....

By Henny156

This is an outstanding scope for the money. BUT, I bought it for my first deer rifle. I had images in my head of bagging a 30 pointer at 300 yards. Problem is, I live and hunt in Wisconsin. Being that I never had hunted before, I was clueless. On opening day I had deer after deer run by my stand. I could not acquire a target because this was too much scope and they were too close. No fault of Vortex, the Crossfire II is awesome! it was my own learning curve. Long story short, if you are ...

Great product! I highly recommend to everyone!

By Mark66

I bought this scope about 5 months ago and fell in love! For the money it's excellent! I have it on my Remington 700 in .270 and shoots out to 600 yards, great scope doesn't get foggy on cold snowy days in the woods! I've dropped it once and bumped it around a good many times still holds a zero perfectly! Vortex in my go to brand now! Highly recommended to everyone!

The Vortex Optics Crossfire 6 - 18 x 44 AO Riflescope has low profile turrets, that are less susceptible to accidental impact damage and reset turrets, that allow re-indexing of the turret housing to zero after sighting in the riflescope - generally requires use of a coin or wrench. This model comes with Adjustable Objective (AO) that uses an adjustment mechanism on the objective lens to fine-tune focus for the purpose of reducing parallax shooting error.

The V-Brite reticle uses the Plex format along with battery-powered electronics to illuminate the central crosshair for better low-light performance. This reticle is good for hunters/shooters during extra-low light conditions. The solid one-piece aircraft-grade aluminum alloy construction of the Crossfire riflescope is outstanding in strength, rugged and shockproof. Neutral pressure nitrogen purging guarantees waterproofing and fog-proofing that withstands the elements at any elevation.
