The 4-12 is cheaper in this case. No reason not to go with it.

I'd use my Vortex's if I was hunting the north slope. lol I've got at least 8 of them that cost less combined than one Trijicon.

The reticles are on the fine side which is great at the range and in good light but something a little thicker would be better in low light. Some great deals can be found on Vortex scopes at times.

If I was going to buy another scope it would be a Trijicon. I have a Huron on one of my rifles and like it a lot plus they have a reputation for durability.

I know some are made over seas, but I have watched them make scopes in Barneveld , Wi.


the army contract ones and the Razor line happen in WI basically if the scope is >3K it is US

I was talking with Joe a few weeks ago , the tariffs are going to change up where things are made and expect the 2026 prices to adjust , they are working out the how much.

the cross fires work for Wisconsin deer hunting on a budget and the crew at vortex takes care of customers I have used the warrantee

yes stuff is made in china sometimes , the scope on his gun now is made in china and broke.

if you are making a living with your rifle , or your life depends on it spend the few K on a scope

if your a kid on a budget with a week to deer season replacing a weaver combo gun scope that is broken a cross fire will have you ready for opening morning.

if you can afford more get more.

so often they are questionable on even working Remington 783 and 770 combos had such junk the eye relief was only about an inch and a half.

Good point, I guess I just figured the Crossfire might be a little better idk why. Glad to hear you like the Vanquish

when weaver went under, bushnel assumed the warranty obligations. they will replace it with a bushnel. call bushnel's customer service. had a V-classic 4x16 that had broken reticle and it was replaced with a bushnel engage 4x16.

true but in WI we get a little bonus on vortex , my son broke a scope Sunday evening before opening day , Monday he called on his 9am break at work , they had a replacement waiting on the counter at Vortex HQ they knew he was leaving work at 3pm and should be there at 4:25pm driving strait through from work

it was there he brought them the damaged one , they traded and he was on his way home , mounted it that night got it sighted in at the farm the next afternoon , and we were on our way to deer camp. 2 days later.

everything breaks it's nice to know you are taken care of even on a 129 dollar optic

You'd need 1" rings that fit your rifles scope base. Actually ythe rings you have probably are 1" most scopes that come with guns are 1"

I have used these with good results on several rifles
blue locktite or of brand version
and a torque wrench , just don't over torque 15-17inch pounds

technically you have rings on your current scope they would likely both be 1 inch

the offset weaver quadlocks give more options to get the slots in the rail
