Vortex Optics Crossfire II Rimfire Rifle Scope 2-7x 32mm V-Plex Reticle Matte – CF2-31001R

The Vortex Optics Crossfire II Rimfire Rifle Scope brings 2-7x magnification and a 32mm objective with a V-Plex reticle in a matte finish to the rimfire rifles that most of us learn to shoot with. Vortex built the Crossfire II line to be the value benchmark, and the rimfire specific version simply moves the parallax setting to the distances a .22 actually gets used at. It is the right glass for the job at a price that leaves money for ammunition. That combination is hard to argue with.

Rimfire shooting is where most shooters build their fundamentals. Good glass makes that process faster and considerably more fun.

Who the Vortex Optics Crossfire II Rimfire Scope Suits

This scope is built for .22 LR and other rimfire rifles used on small game, steel targets, and paper at ordinary rimfire distances. The 2 to 7 power magnification range is precisely calibrated for that work, with 2x giving a wide field of view for moving targets in brush and 7x providing enough magnification to pick apart a small target at the far end of a rimfire range. Nothing here is wasted.

It suits youth rifles, trainers, squirrel guns, and the plinking rifle that lives behind the seat of a truck. It is also a sensible optic for adults building a low cost precision trainer.

Key Features

• 2-7x magnification range tuned to practical rimfire shooting distances
• 32mm objective lens that gathers ample light without adding unnecessary bulk
• V-Plex reticle, a clean duplex style crosshair that stays fast and uncluttered
• Matte finish that cuts glare and pairs cleanly with any rifle
• Rimfire specific parallax setting for sharper images at close and moderate range
• Value oriented pricing from a brand known for standing behind its optics

Specifications Explained

The 32mm objective is deliberately modest, and that is a benefit rather than a limitation. A smaller objective bell mounts lower to the receiver, which improves cheek weld and keeps the whole package compact on a slim rimfire rifle. Light gathering at 7x with a 32mm objective is more than adequate for daylight shooting and for the early and late hours when small game moves.

Rimfire specific parallax is the other detail that separates this scope from a centerfire model of similar power. Centerfire scopes are typically set for 100 yards, which leaves a rimfire target at 50 yards slightly soft and introduces aiming error when your head shifts behind the scope.

The V-Plex reticle is a classic duplex pattern with thick outer posts that draw the eye to a fine center intersection. It is fast to acquire, precise enough for small targets, and does not clutter the sight picture with holdover marks you will rarely use at rimfire distances. That simplicity is why the Vortex Optics Crossfire II has stayed popular for so long.

Mounting, Zeroing, and Care

Mount the scope in quality rings at the lowest height that clears the objective bell, level the reticle carefully, and set eye relief with the rifle shouldered naturally. Zero at 50 yards for general rimfire use, which puts you close enough at both 25 and 75 yards for most practical shooting. Recheck the ring screws after the first outing.

Maintenance is minimal. Use lens covers in the field, clean the glass with a lens pen or a proper microfiber cloth, and never wipe grit across a coated lens. Store the rifle where the turrets will not be bumped, and confirm zero at the start of each season. Our optics collection carries rings, bases, and accessories to complete the setup.

Clear, simple, and correctly specified for rimfire work, the Vortex Optics Crossfire II rimfire scope makes a modest .22 shoot far better than it has any right to. Mount it and go make hits. Ships direct to your door, no FFL required.
