Introducing the Vortex Crossfire HD 3-9x40 Muzzleloader BDC Riflescope. The Vortex Crossfire HD 3-9x40 Muzzleloader BDC Riflescope is a purpose-built optic designed specifically for muzzleloader hunters seeking precision at longer distances. Its 3-9x magnification range provides versatility for both close-range shots and extended-range shooting, making it an ideal companion for hunters aiming with traditional muzzleloading firearms. The 40mm objective lens maximises light gathering, enhancing visibility and clarity in various lighting conditions, especially during dawn and dusk when many hunters prefer to hunt. The scopes design prioritises accuracy and confidence, with features tailored to the unique ballistic characteristics of modern muzzleloaders.
A standout feature of this riflescope is its Muzzleloader BDC reticle, which is calibrated to account for the slower velocities typical of muzzleloading firearms. This reticle allows hunters to make precise holdovers over longer distances without the need for complex calculations or adjustments, significantly improving shot accuracy. The second focal plane design ensures that the reticle size remains constant regardless of magnification, allowing for consistent holdovers and easier target acquisition across the zoom range. The reticles MOA-based markings are specifically designed to match the ballistic profiles of muzzleloaders, offering hunters added confidence when taking longer shots.
The optical system of the Crossfire HD 3-9x40 is optimised with high-quality glass, delivering exceptional resolution, edge-to-edge sharpness, and vivid colour fidelity. Anti-reflective, fully multi-coated lenses enhance light transmission, providing brighter images in low-light conditions-an essential feature for hunting during dawn or dusk. The fast-focus eyepiece allows quick reticle focusing, enabling hunters to rapidly acquire their target without losing precious seconds. Constructed from aircraft-grade aluminium, the scope offers remarkable durability and rigidity while maintaining a manageable weight of just over 16 ounces, making it suitable for mounting on a variety of muzzleloading rifles.
Built to withstand the rigours of outdoor use, the Vortex Crossfire HD 3-9x40 is fully waterproof, fogproof, and shockproof. Its low-glare matte black anodised finish reduces reflections that could give away a hunters position and provides additional corrosion resistance, ensuring longevity even in harsh weather conditions. The turrets are capped to protect them from accidental adjustments, and each turret features 1/4 MOA graduations with a total of 72 MOA of elevation and windage adjustment, allowing for precise tuning at extended ranges. With a generous eye relief of 3.8 inches and a field of view that spans from 37.2 to 12.4 feet at 100 yards, this riflescope offers a comfortable and expansive viewing experience. Its compact length of 12.5 inches makes it a versatile and reliable optic for muzzleloader hunters, helping them achieve accurate, confident shots in the field.
