Vortex Optics Crossfire HD 1-4x24 Illuminated Dead-Hold 2A BDC MOA Short Dot Rifle Scope

Vortex Crossfire HD 1-4x24 Illuminated Dead-Hold® 2A BDC (MOA) Riflescope – Compact LPVO for Close- to Mid-Range Hunting and Shooting

Discover the ideal balance of speed, clarity and practical precision with the Vortex Crossfire HD 1-4x24 Illuminated Dead-Hold® 2A BDC (MOA) Riflescope. This lightweight low-power variable optic (LPVO) is purpose-built for hunters and shooters who demand rapid target acquisition at close range and confident accuracy out to mid-range distances. Whether you are stalking through dense woodland at first light, working open farmland, or running a versatile rifle platform where agility matters, this scope delivers the performance you need without unnecessary bulk.

Designed for Real-World Hunting and Field Use

The Crossfire HD 1-4x24 sits in the sweet spot for modern hunting rifles. At 1x magnification it behaves almost like a red-dot sight, giving you both-eyes-open awareness and lightning-fast target acquisition in close cover or when game appears suddenly. Dial up to 4x and you gain the extra detail and precision required for clean shots at moderate distances. The generous 3.8-inch eye relief and wide field of view (109.5 feet to 26.7 feet at 100 yards) keep you comfortable and aware of your surroundings even when the action is fast-moving.

Weighing just 15.3 ounces and measuring only 9.5 inches in length, this riflescope keeps your rifle lively and well-balanced. The 30 mm aircraft-grade aluminium tube is machined from a solid block of material for exceptional strength and rigidity, then finished in a low-glare matte black anodise that resists scratches and reflections in the field.

HD Optical System for Exceptional Clarity

Vortex’s HD Optical System uses carefully selected glass elements to deliver outstanding resolution, reduced chromatic aberration and true-to-life colour fidelity. Fully multi-coated lenses maximise light transmission, so images remain bright and sharp even in the challenging light of dawn and dusk. Edge-to-edge sharpness ensures you can trust the view across the entire field of view, whether you are scanning for movement or placing a precise shot.

Illuminated Dead-Hold® 2A BDC (MOA) Reticle

At the heart of this optic is the illuminated Dead-Hold® 2A BDC reticle in the second focal plane. It combines the trusted holdover and windage reference points of the classic Dead-Hold BDC with a floating illuminated centre dot. The illumination offers six daylight-bright intensity settings (with off positions between each level) powered by a common CR2032 battery, giving you a clear aiming point in low light without washing out the surrounding holdover marks.

Because the reticle sits in the second focal plane, the subtensions remain consistent and easy to use at the magnification for which the BDC is calibrated. This makes holdover estimation straightforward for hunters who engage targets at varying distances and need reliable references without complicated calculations.

Rugged Construction Ready for the Field

The Crossfire HD is built to Vortex’s exacting standards of durability. It is fully waterproof, fog-proof and shockproof, designed to shrug off heavy recoil, rough handling and the worst weather the British countryside can throw at it. Capped turrets protect your zero during transport and in thick cover, while still allowing precise ½ MOA adjustments. With 130 MOA of elevation and windage travel and 30 MOA per full rotation, you have ample adjustment range for most hunting and general-purpose applications. Parallax is fixed at 100 yards – ideal for the typical engagement distances this optic is intended for.

A fast-focus eyepiece lets you quickly dial the reticle into sharp focus to match your eye, and the scope comes ready for action with useful accessories including flip-up lens caps, a 2-inch sunshade, lens cloth, turret tool and CR2032 battery.
