The Vortex Crossfire HD Spotting Scope delivers reliable optical performance with a high-definition system engineered to cut chromatic aberration and provide sharp edge-to-edge clarity. Anti-reflective coatings on all air-to-glass surfaces maximize light transmission for exceptional low-light viewing and rapid target acquisition across open terrain.

Built to endure rugged outdoor conditions, this optic features a durable aluminum chassis encased in non-slip rubber armor with nitrogen purging for complete waterproof and fogproof protection. Integrated helical focusing allows for quick, precise adjustments, while the built-in Arca-Swiss compatible foot mounts directly to standard tripods without additional adapters.

Highlights

  • The Crossfire HD family of spotters delivers a powerful, tine-counting tool. The Arca-Swiss compatible foot provides out-of-the-box, mount-and-go convenience on most tripods.
