Unmatched Optical Performance for Every Shot

The foundation of any great riflescope lies in its optical system, and the Vortex Crossfire II 6.5-20x50 AO truly shines in this regard. This scope incorporates advanced lens technologies that are typically found in much more expensive optics, ensuring a crisp, bright, and true-to-life image every time you look through it.

• XD Extra-Low Dispersion Glass: At the heart of its optical prowess is the XD extra-low dispersion glass. This specialized glass dramatically increases resolution and color fidelity. What does this mean for you? It means you'll experience images that are incredibly sharp, with vibrant, accurate colors, and minimal chromatic aberration (color fringing). This superior resolution allows you to discern fine details, such as antler points on a distant buck or the subtle texture of a target, even in challenging lighting conditions. This is crucial when every detail matters for an ethical shot or a winning score.
• XR Fully Multi-Coated Lenses: Complementing the XD glass are the XR fully multi-coated lenses. Every air-to-glass surface on this riflescope is treated with Vortex's proprietary XR coatings, which significantly increase light transmission. The result is optimal brightness, especially during critical low-light periods at dawn and dusk when game is most active. These coatings also reduce glare, ensuring a clear sight picture even when facing direct sunlight or shooting in snowy conditions. For hunters, this translates directly to extended shooting opportunities and a clearer view of your target, regardless of ambient light.

The 30mm diameter main tube offers increased internal adjustment range and superior light gathering capabilities compared to smaller tubes. Finished with a hard-anodized black matte finish, it provides a low-glare, durable surface that won't spook game or reflect light. This robust design contributes significantly to the scope's overall reliability and its ability to maintain zero under strenuous conditions.

Precision Engineering for Consistent Accuracy

Achieving consistent accuracy at varying distances requires precise and repeatable adjustments. The Vortex Crossfire II 6.5-20x50 AO is equipped with advanced mechanical systems that ensure every click of your turret translates into predictable and precise bullet placement.

• Precision-Force Spring System: This innovative system uses premium components in the erector system to ensure maximum repeatability and ease of adjustment. It delivers smooth, consistent travel in the turrets, making precise adjustments effortless and reliable. Each click feels distinct, providing tactile feedback that confirms your adjustments.
• Precision-Glide Erector System: Working in conjunction with the spring system, the Precision-Glide Erector System ensures the zoom lens mechanism glides smoothly and cleanly through its magnification range. This precise movement guarantees consistent tracking and repeatable adjustments, allowing you to fine-tune your magnification without any hitches or hesitations.
• Fast-Focus Eyepiece: Quickly achieving a sharp reticle focus is essential for rapid target acquisition. The fast-focus eyepiece allows for quick and easy adjustment of the reticle focus, ensuring a crisp and clear view of the reticle for shooters with varying visual acuities. This feature is particularly valuable in dynamic shooting situations where every second counts.

Understanding the Specifications: What Do They Mean for Your Shooting?

Beyond the advanced features, the technical specifications of the Vortex Crossfire II 6.5-20x50 AO provide a detailed picture of its capabilities. Let's break down these key metrics and how they benefit you:

• Magnification: 6.5x-20x
  This broad magnification range makes the scope incredibly versatile. At 6.5x, you have a wide field of view suitable for scanning terrain, tracking moving targets, or closer-range shots. As you dial up to 20x, you gain the power needed for detailed observation and precision shots at extended distances, such as long-range target shooting or varmint hunting where small targets require significant magnification. How far can you shoot accurately with this scope? The 20x magnification allows for clear identification and precise shot placement well beyond 500 yards, depending on your rifle and caliber.
• Objective Lens Diameter: 50 mm
  The large 50mm objective lens gathers an impressive amount of light, contributing significantly to the scope's bright and clear image, especially in challenging low-light conditions. A larger objective lens generally means a brighter image, which is invaluable during dawn and dusk hunting scenarios.
• Field of View (FOV) @ 100yds: 17.4-6.2 ft
  The field of view tells you how much area you can see through the scope at a given distance. At 6.5x magnification, you have a wide 17.4 feet of view at 100 yards, making it easier to acquire targets and maintain situational awareness. As you increase magnification to 20x, the FOV narrows to 6.2 feet, allowing you to focus more intently on precise aiming points.
• Eye Relief: 3.1"
  Eye relief is the distance your eye needs to be from the eyepiece to see the full, unvignetted image. A generous 3.1 inches of eye relief provides a comfortable viewing experience and, critically, helps prevent "scope bite" from recoil, making it safer for use with high-powered rifles. This is a vital safety feature for any shooter.
• Tube Size: 30 mm
  The 30mm main tube diameter provides ample room for internal adjustment mechanisms and enhances the scope's structural integrity. It also offers a wide range of mounting options with readily available 30mm scope rings.
• Turret Style: Tall Capped
  The tall capped turrets offer precise and repeatable adjustments for windage and elevation. The caps protect the turrets from accidental bumps or changes in the field, ensuring your zero remains untouched until you decide to adjust it.
• Adjustment Graduation: 1/4 MOA
  Each click of the turrets represents 1/4 MOA (Minute of Angle) of adjustment. This fine increment allows for highly precise zeroing and corrections, translating to 0.25 inches of impact shift at 100 yards. This level of precision is ideal for fine-tuning your shots for optimal accuracy.
• Travel per Rotation: 12 MOA
  This specification indicates that for every full rotation of the turret, you get 12 MOA of adjustment. This helps in making larger adjustments efficiently while still allowing for fine-tuning.
• Max Elevation Adjustment: 65 MOA
  
• Max Windage Adjustment: 65 MOA
  With a substantial 65 MOA of both elevation and windage adjustment range, this scope provides ample travel to zero a wide variety of calibers and to compensate for significant bullet drop and wind drift at very long ranges. This ensures you have the necessary flexibility for various shooting distances and conditions.
• Parallax Setting: 50 yds to Infinity (Adjustable Objective)
  The adjustable objective (AO) lens on this Crossfire II model allows you to precisely adjust for parallax from 50 yards out to infinity. Parallax is the apparent shift in the reticle's position relative to the target when your eye moves slightly off-center. By adjusting for parallax, you ensure the reticle and target are on the same focal plane, eliminating aiming errors and maximizing accuracy, especially at varying distances. How do you eliminate parallax error? Simply adjust the objective ring until the image is crisp and the reticle appears to float directly on the target, without any apparent movement when you shift your head.
• Reticle: Dead-Hold BDC
  The Dead-Hold BDC (Bullet Drop Compensator) reticle is a highly popular and versatile choice for hunters and shooters who engage targets at varying distances. It features a series of hash marks on the lower vertical stadia that provide quick and easy holdover points for different ranges and bullet trajectories. What is a BDC reticle used for? It eliminates the need for manual turret adjustments for every shot at different distances, allowing for rapid target acquisition and engagement. While it's designed to work with a wide range of cartridges, specific holdover values will vary based on your bullet's ballistic coefficient, velocity, and zero distance. It's an intuitive system that greatly simplifies long-range shooting.
• Length: 14.4"
  A compact length of 14.4 inches ensures the scope balances well on most rifles without feeling overly cumbersome, making it suitable for both field and range use.
• Weight: 21.6 oz
  At just 21.6 ounces, this riflescope is remarkably lightweight for its capabilities. This reduces overall rifle weight, making it easier to carry during long hunts or transport to the range.
