Is a Vortex 3-9x50 Crossfire 2 - Straight Wall Scope a decent Scope?

[KnightExtreme]

Found 1 just wondering if it is a decent Scope normally use Burris Fullfield but found 1 of the Crossfires?
Thanks never had an Vortex Rifle Scopes before.

Burris Fullfield II over the Vortex Crossfire every time. I will admit that the new Crossfire HD's give a good view for the money, but I don't think I'd use one over the FFII on any serious hunting rifle unless it was the only thing I could get. I've played with the muzzleloader version and the 2-7, sold both of them. Still have several Burris Droptine's.

I have not used that particular scope. But I have had a different crossfire 2 scope a bunch of years ago, as well as a few other vortex scopes. I had a razor HD g2 on long term loan that held zero, but none of my other vortex scopes held zero. At this point I pretty much have written off Vortex as a rifle scope brand due to my experiences. My $ is buying trijicon in this scope category, twice the price of a crossfire but has been money well spent every time so far. Ive never used a burris so cant compare.

The Fullfield is a better choice.

I've gotten good service from my Vortex Vipers and Diamondback HDs (made in the Philippines). The Crossfire is Vortex's lowest quality line and is made in China. I would not buy a scope made in China. The Burris Fullfield is made in the Philippines and I believe is a better choice. If I were going to buy a new scope today it would be a Trijicon.

I've had 3 or 4 Vortex scopes. Still have a 3-9×40 on my AR10.
I won't say they are as good as a Leupold, but the one I have does very well. Holds it's "zero" nicely.

I prefer the Diamondback myself. I only have one Crossfire, but it doesn't seem as clear. I have three Diamondbacks bought on sale at various times. Not sure why, but they like to change model numbers and the discontinued ones are pretty cheap sometimes at Midway.
