NEW Vortex Crossfire II Red and Green Dots

Some things remain the same - like Vortex’s VIP Warranty - while others have been changed on the Crossfire II dots. Having the ability to select red or green, whatever pairs best with your specific vision abilities or deficits, along with solar battery charging as well as motion activation are huge wins for shooters since the price on these hasn’t jumped significantly even with improvements.

MOTION ACTIVATION – Wakes up when you move the rifle, with 10 Minute Auto-Shutoff to preserve battery life

A Word from Vortex Optics on their NEW Crossfire II Dots

“Barneveld, Wisconsin - Available with either a red or green dot, the new Crossfire® II Red Dot lineup brings added function to a name shooters already know. It keeps the straightforward operation that made the Crossfire® a favorite, now with a more refined build and flush buttons that let shooters move through brightness settings without dialing all the way around.

Crossfire® II is built for recreational shooters who want an optic that stays easy to use as their interests grow. While many know it as a natural fit for AR-style rifles, the platform has also proven itself on rimfires, shotguns, and just about anything else with a Picatinny rail. It mounts up fast and is easy to run so your focus stays where it belongs: on the target and having fun at the range.”

With the amount of PCC (pistol caliber carbine), PDW (personal defense weapon), and tactical shotguns on the market today, you can never have too many good, reliable red (or green) dots on hand.
