Vortex Crossfire Bright Red Dot 2 MOA

The Vortex Crossfire Bright Red Dot 2 MOA is a no-nonsense sight designed for quick target acquisition on AR-15, shotgun, or rimfire platforms, offering a simple point of aim without the frills. This compact red dot sight keeps your focus on the target and your muzzle in the fight, delivering reliable performance across a range of shooting scenarios. The 2 MOA dot strikes the ideal balance between rapid, close-quarters aiming and fine detail at extended distances, making it a versatile choice for both tactical and recreational use.

Crafted to withstand real-world conditions, the Crossfire combines rugged construction with user-friendly operation. It features Fully Multi-Coated glass to maximize light transmission and reduce glare, ensuring a crisp, bright reticle even in challenging lighting. The 11 brightness settings let you dial in the perfect dot visibility from bright daylight to dim rooms, and night-vision compatibility on the two lowest settings means you can keep a low signature without sacrificing aiming precision when the lights are low. In practice, this means dependable performance in rain, dust, or low-light environments—so your point of aim stays consistent when humidity, smoke, or shadows threaten your sight picture.

Designed for fast handling, the Crossfire offers unlimited eye relief, enabling rapid target acquisition without the constraint of a fixed eye-to-sight distance. The sight's parallax-free performance ensures the dot remains on target as your head position shifts slightly during rapid transitions, keeping your aim true without fiddling with parallax adjustments. A hard anodized finish provides a durable, low-glare coating that resists wear in the field and helps camouflage your position. And because you want to be ready for whatever comes next, the Crossfire is sealed with O-ring moisture, dust, and debris protection to preserve performance in wet, sandy, or dusty environments.

One of the standout features of this red dot sight is the included skeletonized lower 1/3 co-witness mount, which offers a rock-solid platform while remaining remarkably lightweight. This mounting option gives you flexible sighting heights and a cleaner rail footprint, making it easier to achieve a reliable co-witness with a variety of rifles. The Crossfire is compact, yet once mounted it feels solid and dependable, a reliable companion for everything from competition stages to field use. If you’re outfitting budget-conscious builds or upgrading from iron sights, this sight provides a clear path to faster target engagement without adding unnecessary bulk or weight.

Technical highlights

At its core, the Crossfire is built around a 1x magnification red dot with a precise 2 MOA dot. The brightness is adjustable across 11 levels, ensuring you can tailor the reticle to your environment—whether you’re shooting under bright sun, overcast skies, or near dusk. The dot is bright enough to stand out against busy backgrounds yet refined enough to support accurate shot placement at extended ranges. Parallax is minimized to near-nothing, aligning with current industry practice for fast, reliable aiming across typical shooting positions. The sight also provides unlimited eye relief, which means your eye can be at varying distances without sacrificing the reticle’s alignment or speed of acquisition.

From a durability standpoint, the Crossfire is built to endure. Waterproof O-ring seals protect internal optics against moisture and dust, while the hard-anodized finish keeps the sight looking and performing like new even after rough handling or exposure to the elements. Weight and length are kept intentionally modest: the sight measures about 6.35 cm (2.5 inches) long and weighs roughly 147 grams (5.2 ounces). These compact dimensions help preserve balance on an AR-15 or a lightweight shotgun, making it a practical upgrade without altering the weapon’s feel or handling characteristics.

Battery life is a standout consideration for any sight, and the Crossfire excels here. It delivers up to 50,000 hours of operation on brightness setting 6, giving you long-term reliability with minimal maintenance. For different brightness contexts, you’ll find up to 7,000 hours on medium brightness, illustrating how runtime scales with how bright you keep the reticle. This broad range ensures the Crossfire remains ready for prolonged storage or extended field use, reducing the chances of a dead sight at critical moments.

In practical terms, the Crossfire is a practical workhorse for a wide range of applications. It’s equally at home on an AR-15 build meant for quick follow-up shots, a shotgun used for home defense or competition, or a precise rimfire platform where every click of the dot matters. The combination of a bright 2 MOA reticle, generous brightness range, rugged waterproof construction, and an ultra-light skeletonized mount makes this sight a compelling option for shooters who want reliable performance without paying for features they won’t use. Its simple point-of-aim paradigm reduces the mental load on the shooter, letting you focus on fundamentals—stance, breath, trigger control—so every shot counts.
