So, I’m looking for something sub $200 to throw on a 15-22 I have. Looking through the offerings from vortex I’ve settled on the crossfire ii 2-7x32 but there is two different versions, one designated rimfire and one not, same price.

Forgive me if I’m missing something obvious here but reading through the specs and description everything looks the same. Is there a difference? Any reason I shouldn’t just order the regular version in case I end up liking it and want to throw it on a 5.56 gun someday down the road?

Thanks guys

Not up to speed on those models but rim fire scopes often have parallax set at shorter (25yd) than same mode, labels center fire.

Excellent question. While those two models of the Crossfire II appear to be extremely similar, the main difference lies in the parallax setting. You'll find that the Crossfire 2-7x32 has a parallax setting of 100 yards and the Crossfire 2-7x32 Rimfire has a parallax setting of 50 yards. The Crossfire II 2-7x32 Rimfire also only has the V-Plex reticle available while the 2-7x32 has the V-Plex and Dead-Hold BDC. Let us know if you have any other questions - happy to help.

That's correct - the parallax of the Crossfire II 2-7x32 Rimfire is set at 50 yards while the Crossfire II 2-7x32 is set at 100 yards.

Appreciate the response, I hadn’t even considered parallax but that perfect sense. Thanks for clearing that up for me!
