I picked up a vortex crossfire 2 4-12-44 cause that's what fit my budget and it was clearer than Nikon was. I mounted the scope on a 223 heavy barrel with Burris steel rings. at 100yards with 1/4 clicks I can touch 3 holes. very clear and holds zero good.

I also like that the turrets are knobs that don't require a coin or crew driver and are numbered like target turrets so you can mark you numbers for reference at distances. the vortex bdc recital is a little weird, I would rather have had a x hair than bdc but I can deal with it. I also adjusted my turrets for 200yards and back to 100yards and back to 200yards and it zeroes right back to where its supposed to each time. for a budget scope I like it a lot. I would be a little skeptical of using the crossfire on a large bore gun but that's just me. for $160 its a great scope. the x hairs are also not so bad for target and varmints. they also have lifetime warranty that I had to call about and they said send it in back in 5 days. nothing wrong with the scope it was me that goofed.
 
Still kind of kicking around ideas on what scope to buy for my .243. I have a low budget and was actually thinking about one of these. Thanks for the review.
 
I also have one of these scopes on a .22 hornet, I love it. I have the illuminated reticle on mine, and it is perfect for hunting coyotes at night
 

What about the V-Bright model that has the illuminated dot reticle? Anyone have experience with that scope?
 
As stated in my post before, I have the V-Brite, and love it. It is bright enough to use during day, and has settings low enough to use at night without covering up the whole dog. I love it.
 
I have this one on my 204 and love it . Many times i don't even turn on the red dot but it's a nice feature to have when you want it !

I didn't stutter ! I love it ! Yes i would put it on my 243 too ! That is my coyote scope ! Yes i would buy another one !
 
Well,,, I have a 2-7 Crossfire. My dealer talked it up as a top choice. Lifetime warranty and all, nobody is having any problems, blah, blah, blah. Well it lasted all of SIX, that's right SIX, shots. It came all kinds of apart on the inside. It rattles and you can see parts flopping around inside looking through the objective end. Granted I didn't put it on a squirrel rifle, it went on my encore rifle, 24 inch 460 S&W. In my opinion it recoils less than my 308. Should have gone with my usual Leupold!
