Vortex Crossfire 4-12x50 BDC AO Riflescope

The Vortex Crossfire 4-12x50 BDC AO riflescope delivers clarity, durability, and brightness for variable-range hunting and precision shooting. Built to exceed the performance standards of similarly priced scopes, this redesigned model features longer eye relief, a fast focus eyepiece, and fully multi-coated lenses that maximize light transmission from dawn until dusk. With a Dead-Hold BDC reticle and resettable turrets, you gain quicker, more accurate holdovers across different distances and wind conditions.

At the heart of its rugged performance is the hard anodized one piece aircraft-grade aluminium tube. The tube is nitrogen-purged and O-ring sealed, delivering a lifetime of waterproof and fogproof performance in any environment. This construction approach minimizes drift from recoil and temperature changes, ensuring your point of impact remains consistent from shot to shot. Whether you’re stalking game at first light, chasing varmints under overcast skies, or dialing in at the range after a long day of shooting, the Crossfire scope maintains reliable alignment and optical quality you can trust.

The Dead-Hold BDC reticle is a standout for shooters who frequently adjust for holdover and windage. Its customized hash marks help you estimate where to aim when the distance to the target isn’t constant, reducing guesswork and allowing more efficient shot placement. Paired with the fast focus eyepiece, you can quickly acquire a crisp reticle and re-acquire your target in changing light or when tracking moving game. The combination of reticle design and precise optics translates to real-world benefits in hunting scenarios where seconds count and visibility is imperfect.

Optical performance is further enhanced by fully multi-coated lenses, which increase light transmission and minimize glare. This means brighter views with better contrast in low-light conditions—a critical advantage for dawn and dusk hunts. The one inch tube is a standard choice that balances rigidity and weight while ensuring compatibility with a wide range of mounts. The overall design emphasizes strength and weather resistance without sacrificing optical clarity or field of view, making it a versatile option for all-season shooting.

In terms of convenience and versatility, this scope integrates several user-friendly features. The fast focus eyepiece lets you dial in reticle focus quickly, so you spend less time chasing the image and more time on target. A sunshade reduces glare and reflections off bright days, helping you maintain a clear sight picture even when the sun is low on the horizon. The parallax adjustment covers a range from 10 yards to infinity, which helps when shooting at varying distances with precision across the magnification spectrum. The 50 mm objective lens on this model balances light gathering with a compact profile, delivering bright images without excessive bulk.

For reliability under recoil and harsh field conditions, the Crossfire 4-12x50 BDC AO is designed with capped turrets that resist accidental movement. The turrets are resettable, allowing you to re-index the turret housing to zero after sighting in, simplifying field adjustments and ensuring consistency from one session to the next. The scope is waterproof, fogproof, and shockproof thanks to its nitrogen filling and solid mechanical construction. A hard anodized finish adds a low-glare, durable coating that helps conceal your position while withstanding scratches and wear in rugged environments.
