Vortex Crossfire HD 3-9x40 Vplex: Precision Hunting Scope

Meet the Vortex Crossfire HD 3-9x40 Vplex, built for the hunt and ready for the shot. This versatile riflescope delivers sharper detail and improved light transmission across dense timber and open ranges, giving you the confidence to own every hunt.

The heart of this optic is the HD Optical System, optimized with select glass elements to deliver exceptional resolution, curb chromatic aberration, and provide outstanding color fidelity, edge-to-edge sharpness, and light transmission. When you’re glassing at first light or last light, this design helps you pull more detail from the scene and maintain target recognition even as the light fades.

Complementing the optics, the Fully Multi-Coated Lenses guarantee minimal glare and maximal transmission across all air-to-glass surfaces. Anti-reflective coatings help you maintain clarity in low-light moments, delivering bright, lifelike images that keep you on target longer without eye strain.

Designed for fast, reliable reticle alignment, the Fast-Focus Eyepiece lets you quickly acquire a precise reticle focus, so you can lock onto your target and make your shot with confidence—even when conditions shift or you need to reacquire quickly between movements.

Rugged construction pairs with field-ready features to ensure it stands up to tough hunts. The scope is machined from aircraft-grade aluminum for exceptional strength and rigidity, while a low-glare matte black anodize protects against sheen that could reveal your position. This durability is paired with practical weather sealing; the housing is waterproof, fogproof, and shockproof, so you’re prepared for rain, snow, dust, and the recoil of powerful centerfire rifles.

Vortex accuracy and reticle details

With its Second Focal Plane layout and a dependable V-Plex (MOA) reticle, you get a straightforward aiming point that remains consistent across magnification levels. The V-Plex design is a hunter’s favorite for intuitive use in the field, letting you dial the magnification without recalibrating your holdover. For those who value quick, precise targeting, the combination of a crisp reticle and a steady eye relief makes follow-up shots smoother and faster.

Key measurements set the Crossfire HD apart for practical field use. The scope provides generous eye relief of 3.8 inches, a broad field of view that shifts from 37.2 feet to 12.4 feet at 100 yards, and a compact overall length of 12.5 inches with a weight of 16.2 oz. A sturdy 1-inch tube houses robust elevation and windage controls, with 15 MOA per rotation and a maximum travel of 72 MOA for both elevation and windage. Parallax is set for the common hunting distance at 100 yards, helping you achieve sharp, single-point accuracy as you swing from close quarters to longer shots.

Whether you’re chasing deer from a treestand, dialing in on a prairie dog outpost, or tracking elk across rugged terrain, the Crossfire HD is designed to handle real-world hunting conditions. It’s built to thrive in variable temperatures and climates, ensuring reliable performance when you need it most. The combination of light transmission, edge-to-edge sharpness, and color fidelity translates to a more natural view of your surroundings, where subtle hints of movement or color variation can be the difference between a missed opportunity and a clean shot.

If you’re upgrading from a basic setup or choosing a first quality optic for demanding hunting, the Vortex Crossfire HD 3-9x40 Vplex offers a balanced blend of optical performance, reliability, and value. The HD optical system combined with fully multi-coated lenses ensures you’re seeing more of the field with greater clarity, while the durable, weather-ready housing keeps you prepared for whatever the day brings. The V-Plex reticle on a second focal plane platform provides a familiar, uncluttered sight picture that veterans and newcomers can appreciate, reducing misreads and helping you stay on target when it matters most.

Discover the difference of a scope designed to perform in the field—and with a price point that respects your budget, the Crossfire HD 3-9x40 Vplex is a compelling choice for serious hunters and casual enthusiasts alike.
