Pic shows non-AO, but UPC and description match the AO model. Might want to call and verify.
Good luck and have fun!

I have the 6-18 and it's a really nice scope

Ah. I notice both sales are for the plain duplex reticle. The BDC is extra.
Thanks!

You don't need the BDC reticle if your target distance is typically no more than 40 yards.  With my 900 ft/sec springers I consider that the maximum range where I can hit a 1" target most of the time from bench rest.  The trajectory is very flat from 15 - 40 yards as Chairgun will show you if you sight in at 18 yards and use a good medium weight pellet, 7.9-8.6 gr for 177.  Less than 1/2 inch over or under at the most, that is within the best accuracy I can shoot.  No need to start figuring out your mil dots once your target is in position - just aim straight on and shoot.

Do not use the Crossfire in a magnum springer.  I'd say anything above 16 ft/lb and you will end up with a dead scope within 1,000 pellets or so.  I killed two on a Benj Trail NP XL.  Good thing Vortex will replace it for you once you ship it to them. I have since replaced one Crossfire II with a Diamondback that is holding up better on the NP XL.  Smaller, lighter, better clarity, available only with the BDC reticle I think.

I agree.  I would not use the Crossfire on a Magnum springer. Go with the Diamondback if you need a scope that will last with your Magnum springer.

 Vortex rep told me to go with a diamondback on airguns..that being said Vortex also has the best warranty in the industry...paid shipping both ways...no questions asked. Cant get better then that

I called Vortex about the Crossfire for a springer and the "tech guy" recommended the Diamondback.
