Vortex Crossfire II 1Inch 2-7×32 Rimfire V-Plex MOA

Product Description

The Vortex Crossfire II 2-7×32 Rimfire scope is a variable magnification riflescope designed specifically for rimfire rifles like .22 LR. It features a V-Plex MOA reticle and a 1-inch tube diameter.

This scope delivers variable magnification from 2x to 7x, making it well-suited for plinking, small game hunting, and precision practice at rimfire distances. The V-Plex reticle uses a simple duplex design with MOA-based adjustments.

Rimfire rifles produce less recoil than centerfire platforms, and scopes built for rimfire use are optimized for the unique ballistics and shooting distances typical of .22 LR ammunition. The lower magnification range keeps both eyes open shooting practical while still offering enough zoom for precise work at 50 to 100 yards.

What Makes a Rimfire Scope Different

Scopes labeled as rimfire-specific are built to handle the unique needs of .22 LR and similar cartridges. Rimfire rounds have a flatter trajectory at short range but drop steeply past 75 yards. A 2-7x magnification range gives you enough detail to place shots on squirrels and paper targets without over-magnifying at close range.

The 32mm objective lens balances light transmission with a compact profile. Larger objectives add weight and bulk, which can overwhelm a lightweight rimfire rifle. The 1-inch tube is the standard diameter for most scope rings, so mounting options are plentiful and affordable.

Understanding the V-Plex MOA Reticle

The V-Plex reticle is a duplex design with thick outer posts that taper to fine crosshairs at the center. This gives you a fast sight picture against dark targets while keeping the center precise for small aiming points.

MOA adjustments mean each click of the turret moves your point of impact in minute-of-angle increments. At 100 yards, one MOA equals roughly one inch. Most rimfire shooters zero at 50 yards and use holdover or dial adjustments for longer distances. The MOA system makes those calculations straightforward once you know your ammunition’s drop.

Pairing This Scope with Your Rimfire Rifle

This scope mounts to any rifle with a Weaver or Picatinny rail using 1-inch rings. Most modern rimfire rifles like the Ruger 10/22, CZ 457, and Savage Mark II come drilled and tapped for scope bases or have factory rails.

If you’re building a trainer rifle or upgrading from iron sights, a 2-7x scope hits the sweet spot for versatility. Lower magnification settings work for steel challenge-style drills and reactive targets. Higher magnification helps with precision groups and varmint hunting.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Will the Vortex Crossfire II 2-7×32 Rimfire fit a Ruger 10/22?

A: Yes, this scope fits any rifle with a Weaver or Picatinny rail using standard 1-inch scope rings. The Ruger 10/22 accepts Weaver-style bases and is one of the most common platforms for this scope. Make sure your rings are the correct height to clear the barrel and bolt.

Q: What is the difference between the V-Plex and V-Plex MOA reticle?

A: The V-Plex MOA reticle uses minute-of-angle click adjustments on the turrets. Both reticles share the same duplex crosshair design with thick outer posts and fine center crosshairs. The MOA designation refers to the measurement system for windage and elevation changes.

Q: Can I use this scope on a centerfire rifle like a .223?

A: This scope is optimized for rimfire rifles and their lower recoil and shorter shooting distances. For centerfire rifles, consider a scope designed for higher recoil and longer-range ballistics. Call 817-393-4000 and we can recommend a better match for your centerfire platform.

Q: Does this scope have parallax adjustment?

A: Call 817-393-4000 to confirm parallax specifications. Parallax becomes more critical at higher magnification and longer distances, so many rimfire scopes are set at a fixed parallax distance appropriate for typical .22 LR shooting ranges.

Q: How do I mount this scope on my rifle?

A: You need a Weaver or Picatinny base or rail on your rifle and a set of 1-inch scope rings. Mount the base to your receiver, place the scope in the rings at the correct eye relief distance, and tighten the rings evenly. If you need help, Western Sport offers gunsmithing services including scope mounting and bore sighting.

Q: What is the best zero distance for a rimfire scope?

A: Most shooters zero rimfire rifles at 50 yards because .22 LR trajectory is flat enough for easy holdover at 25 yards and predictable drop at 75 to 100 yards. A 50-yard zero gives you the widest effective range without needing to dial adjustments for most plinking and small game hunting.
