Vortex Crossfire HD 20-60x80 Spotting Scope Straight
The Vortex Crossfire HD 20-60x80 Spotting Scope with straight eyepiece delivers powerful performance for marksmen who value precision at long distances. With variable magnification of 20-60x and a large 80mm objective lens, this spotting scope produces bright, sharp images essential for assessing hits at range. The HD optical system with fully multi-coated lenses ensures excellent light transmission and minimal chromatic aberration, resulting in true-to-life colors and edge-to-edge image quality.
Precision observation for shooting sports
The straight configuration of this spotting scope is particularly suitable for use at the shooting range. The direct line of sight enables rapid target acquisition, ideal when checking shots during precision shooting. The helical focus ring offers both quick and fine focus adjustment, crucial when observing hits on paper targets or steel silhouettes at various distances. With a field of view of 105 to 53 feet at 1000 yards, you effectively scan large areas.
Robust construction for intensive use
The rubber-armored housing provides a secure grip and protection against impacts. The nitrogen-filled body guarantees waterproof and fogproof performance in all weather conditions. The Arca-Swiss compatible foot means you can mount the spotting scope directly on most tripod heads without additional adapters, saving time during setup. Weighing 53 ounces and measuring 15.1 inches in length, the unit remains portable for transport to different shooting locations.
Technical specifications in detail
The eyepiece offers a comfortable eye relief of 18mm, sufficient for eyeglass wearers. The exit pupil ranges from 4mm at low magnification to 1.33mm at maximum magnification. The minimum focusing distance is 26 feet, convenient for observations at shorter ranges. The adjustable eye cups can be customized for use with or without glasses. The scope includes a neoprene protective cover, lens caps for both eyepiece and objective, and a lens cleaning cloth.
Optical quality for critical assessment
The fully multi-coated lenses on all air-to-glass surfaces maximize light transmission, resulting in brightness comparable to more expensive models. The HD glass system effectively reduces color fringing, allowing accurate assessment of projectile placement. At 60x magnification, the image remains sharp enough to distinguish bullet holes at 100 yards, provided it's mounted on a stable tripod. The anti-reflective coatings improve contrast, contributing to better performance during twilight or in changing light conditions.
The Vortex Crossfire HD 20-60x80 Straight combines reliable optical performance with practical features for shooters who value accurate observation. The straight configuration fits naturally into the workflow at the shooting range, while the solid construction and comprehensive warranty ensure years of enjoyment.
