Vortex Crossfire® HD 3–9x40 Straight-Wall BDC (MOA) Scope
The Vortex Crossfire HD 3–9x40 Straight-Wall BDC is designed
for hunters using straight-wall cartridges who need a scope that matches the
way their ammunition performs. By tailoring the reticle to these calibres, it
offers a more intuitive aiming system for real hunting distances.
Purpose-Built Reticle for Straight-Wall Loads
This scope features a BDC reticle developed specifically for
cartridges such as .350 Legend, .450 Bushmaster, and .45-70. The holdover marks
are spaced to reflect the trajectory of these rounds, helping you make more
accurate shots without needing constant adjustment.
Practical Magnification Range
With a 3–9x zoom range, this optic provides flexibility
across different environments. Lower magnification is useful when shooting in
tighter areas, while higher magnification helps refine your aim when engaging
targets further away.
Sharp and Clear Optical Performance
The HD optical system produces a bright, detailed image,
allowing you to pick out targets more easily. Lens coatings improve light
transmission and reduce glare, helping maintain clarity in both bright and
low-light conditions.
Built for Reliable Field Use
Constructed from a durable aluminium body, this scope is
designed to handle outdoor conditions. It is sealed to prevent moisture ingress
and internal fogging, and built to cope with recoil during repeated use.
Protective turret caps help keep your adjustments secure,
ensuring your zero remains consistent.
