Our thoughts on this rifle scope

We found this Crossfire HD surprisingly clear for its price range. The image is sharp from edge to edge and the colour rendition is simply accurate. What stood out most to us during use: the illuminated centre dot genuinely helps when it gets dark outside. You pick up your aiming point quickly without having to search. The housing also feels solid and sturdy without being unnecessarily heavy.

Optics and technical performance of this rifle scope

The magnification ranges from 6–18x, with an objective lens diameter of 50 mm that allows plenty of light to enter. The reticle is an Illuminated Dead-Hold 2A BDC (MOA) and is positioned on the Second Focal Plane (SFP), which provides a constant reticle image at every magnification level. The eye relief is 3.8" and parallax is adjustable from 10 yds. to ∞. The fully multi-coated glass ensures additional light transmission and clarity, even under poor conditions.

The housing is machined from a solid block of aircraft-grade aluminium with a matte black, corrosion-resistant anodised finish. This scope is waterproof, fogproof, and shockproof, with a tube diameter of 30 mm and a weight of 0.65 kilograms. The illumination runs on a CR2032 battery.

Mounting and compatibility

This rifle scope has a tube diameter of 30 mm and is mounted onto a rail using compatible rings. For many PCP air rifles and mounting setups, this means you can get started with standard 30 mm rings on a Picatinny or Weaver rail, offering a solid and broadly compatible solution. If you have a traditional air rifle with an 11 mm dovetail rail, 30 mm rings or adapters are available to mount this scope neatly.

Please note: this is a standalone rifle scope; mounting rings are not included as standard. Choose your rings based on your rail type and the required mounting height in relation to the 50 mm objective lens.
