Vortex Crossfire II 1Inch 3-9×40 V-Plex MOA

Product Description

The Vortex Crossfire II 3-9×40 riflescope is a variable-power optic with a 1-inch tube, 3-9x magnification range, and V-Plex MOA reticle. It delivers the adjustment range needed for both close shots and medium-distance precision work.

The 3-9x magnification window suits deer rifles, varmint guns, and general-purpose hunting rigs. The V-Plex reticle offers clean aiming points without clutter. MOA adjustments let you dial in zero with familiar increments.

This riflescope fits standard 1-inch rings and mounts, the most common configuration for hunting rifles and older platforms. The 40mm objective balances light transmission with low mounting height.

Key Facts

• Reticle: V-Plex MOA
• Tube Diameter: 1 inch
• Objective Lens: 40mm

Why the 3-9x Magnification Range Works

A 3-9x variable scope covers most hunting and shooting scenarios. At 3x, you get a wide field of view for fast target acquisition in thick cover or on moving game. At 9x, you have enough magnification to place precise shots on small targets or out to moderate distances.

This magnification range is still the standard for deer rifles, coyote guns, and all-around hunting setups. It avoids the bulk and narrow field of view that come with higher magnification models.

V-Plex MOA Reticle and Adjustments

The V-Plex reticle is a simple duplex crosshair with thicker outer posts and fine center crosshairs. It provides fast aiming in low light and precision at the center. No illumination means no batteries to fail.

MOA turrets let you dial adjustments in minutes of angle, a system familiar to most American shooters. One MOA equals roughly one inch at 100 yards, making zero adjustments intuitive.

1-Inch Tube Compatibility

The 1-inch main tube is the legacy standard for hunting riflescopes. It fits the widest selection of rings and mounts, especially on bolt-action rifles and lever guns. If your rifle already wears 1-inch rings, this scope drops right in.

Modern tactical optics have moved to 30mm tubes for more internal adjustment travel, but 1-inch scopes remain lighter and more affordable. For hunting inside 300 yards, the 1-inch tube offers all the adjustment you need.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What rifles work with the Vortex Crossfire II 3-9×40?

A: The Vortex Crossfire II 3-9×40 fits any rifle with 1-inch scope rings. This includes most hunting rifles, lever-action carbines, and rimfire platforms. You will need a set of 1-inch rings matched to your rifle’s mounting system—Weaver, Picatinny, or grooved receiver. Call 817-393-4000 if you need help selecting compatible rings.

Q: How does the V-Plex MOA reticle differ from other Crossfire II reticles?

A: The V-Plex MOA reticle is a plain duplex crosshair with MOA-based turret adjustments. Other Crossfire II models may use BDC reticles with holdover marks or mil-based turrets. The V-Plex keeps things simple—no math, no guessing, just a clean aiming point and straightforward MOA clicks.

Q: Can I mount the Crossfire II 3-9×40 on an AR-15?

A: Yes, the Crossfire II 3-9×40 can mount on an AR-15 using 1-inch medium or high rings on a Picatinny rail. The 3-9x magnification suits ARs chambered in .223 Wylde, 6.5 Grendel, or .300 Blackout for hunting and precision shooting. It will not work for close-quarters use where a red dot or 1-6x scope makes more sense.

Q: What is the difference between 1-inch and 30mm scope tubes?

A: A 1-inch tube is lighter and fits older, more common ring sets. A 30mm tube offers more internal adjustment range, which matters for long-range shooting or extreme elevation changes. For hunting and general shooting inside 400 yards, the 1-inch tube provides enough adjustment and saves weight.

Q: Does the Vortex Crossfire II work for rimfire rifles?

A: Yes, the Vortex Crossfire II 3-9×40 works well on .22 LR and other rimfire rifles. The magnification range lets you shoot close-in plinking and reach out to 100 yards for precision. Make sure your rings are rated for rimfire use, as some scopes can walk loose under the forward recoil of a rimfire action.

Q: How do I get the Vortex Crossfire II shipped to Texas?

A: Riflescopes and optics do not require an FFL transfer and can ship directly to your address in Texas or anywhere in the United States. Western Sport can process your order over the phone at 817-393-4000. If you prefer to pick up in person, we are located in Roanoke, TX, in the North Texas DFW area.
