Anybody have one of these?  I'm looking for a good budget priced scope for an AR, I have a red dot, but can configure my AR quickly for longer range target shooting, and have been looking at the Crossfire 2 in 2-7x32, but  haven't been able to find any feedback on them.  I have a Strikefire on my son's AR, and it's been great, so I'm not concerned with any quality issues, just would like to know how the Crossfire 2 compares to something like the Diamondback.

The Crossfire II is very comparable to the Diamondback, optically. The Diamondback might be slightly better from a brightness/reslution standpoint but the Crossfire II has longer eye relief and the two are built to similar durability standards. Both would work great on top of an AR15. Thanks again and please let us know if you have any other questions.

So the crossfire II series are able to withstand typical AR recoil and use?

Yeah, I see no problem with mounting a Crossfire II on there. It should hold up just fine.

would I be better served with moving up to the Diamond back series?

My local academy has a smoking deal on the 4-12 diamonback

Optically, the Diamondback is a little better, but the Crossfire II has longer eye relief. Either way, they are built to comparable durability standards. If you have a great deal offered to you, you would never lose out by going with the Diamondback. Sounds like a good route to go.

For that scope they should be #27 on the objective and #18 on the eyepiece.

The Crossfire 2 I ordered came in, and I got it mounted to my AR.  Very well made, what I expected from Vortex, the glass is on par with my Nikon Buckmaster, clear and bright.  I will not hesitate to mount the rimfire version on my son's .22.
