Vortex Optics Solar Red Dot Crossfire II 2 MOA Tan

The Vortex Crossfire II Solar Red Dot 2 MOA Tan has been developed for shooters and airsoft players seeking maximum reliability, lightning-fast target acquisition and an exceptionally long service life. Thanks to the combination of Solar Auto D-TEC™ technology, a battery life of up to 150,000 hours, motion activation, a bright 2 MOA red dot and the robust Vortex construction, this red dot delivers outstanding performance in virtually all conditions.

Anyone switching from a traditional red dot sight will notice the difference not only in the speed of acquisition, but above all in the intelligent power supply and consistent performance during long training days, competitions or skirmishes. Precisely when reliability is essential, the Crossfire II Solar ensures that the sight is always ready for use.

Why choose a Solar Red Dot?

A Solar Red Dot combines battery power with solar energy to significantly reduce energy consumption. This means the sight remains operational for longer without you having to replace the battery regularly.

Thanks to the integrated Solar Auto D-TEC™ technology, the Crossfire II Solar automatically switches between solar power and the CR2032 battery, depending on the amount of light available. This means you benefit from maximum reliability without having to adjust the settings manually.

Solar Auto D-TEC™ for maximum efficiency

The Crossfire II Solar is equipped with Vortex’s latest Solar Auto D-TEC™ technology.

When there is sufficient ambient light, the solar cell supplements the power supply. In lower light conditions, the CR2032 battery automatically takes over, ensuring that the visor continues to function smoothly in all conditions.

This means you benefit from exceptionally efficient power supply and a battery life of up to 150,000 hours when solar-powered. Even without solar power, the battery still offers a runtime of up to 50,000 hours at brightness level 6.

Motion Activation – ready to use straight away

As well as the solar cell, the Crossfire II Solar features an integrated motion sensor.

As a result, the visor switches on automatically as soon as movement is detected and switches off automatically after about ten minutes of inactivity. This extends the battery life without you having to worry about switching the visor on or off yourself.

Bright 2 MOA reticle for speed and precision

The 2 MOA red dot offers an excellent balance between rapid target acquisition and precise aiming.

Thanks to its compact size, the dot continues to cover a small portion of the target even at longer ranges, whilst remaining clearly visible during CQB and dynamic shooting situations. This makes the Crossfire II Solar suitable for both short and medium ranges.

Parallax-free design with no minimum viewing distance

The Crossfire II Solar features a parallax-free design combined with 1x magnification and an unlimited eye relief.

This allows you to aim comfortably with both eyes open, maintain an optimal view of your surroundings and react more quickly to moving targets. This makes the sight particularly well-suited to dynamic disciplines where speed is key.

ArmorTek® lens coating for long-lasting protection

The outer lens features Vortex’s well-known ArmorTek® coating.

This protective coating helps to protect the lens from scratches, dirt, oil and moisture, ensuring that the view remains clear and that the visor continues to perform optimally even during intensive use.

Easy installation on various platforms

The Crossfire II Solar uses a Micro T-2 footprint and comes with both a Low Mount and a Lower 1/3 Co-Witness Mount.

This makes the sight easy to mount on Picatinny and Weaver rails and allows you to adjust the mounting height to suit your replica or firearm.

Practical insights that are often overlooked

Many users focus primarily on the brightness of a red dot sight, whilst the power supply is just as important. Thanks to the combination of Solar Auto D-TEC™ and Motion Activation, the Crossfire II Solar remains ready for use at virtually all times without unnecessary battery drain.

Furthermore, the importance of the correct mounting height is often underestimated. By choosing between the included Low Mount and Lower 1/3 Co-Witness Mount, you can achieve a comfortable shooting position that suits your platform and personal preference.

Who is the Vortex Crossfire II Solar Red Dot 2 MOA Tan suitable for?

This red dot sight is an excellent choice for airsoft players, sport shooters and tactical users looking for a compact, premium optic offering maximum reliability. Thanks to its Solar Auto D-TEC™ technology, long battery life, robust construction and bright 2 MOA dot, it is ideal for intensive use where speed and reliability are more important than ever.

If you use a replica or a firearm with a Picatinny or Weaver rail and are looking for a high-quality red dot sight that will perform reliably for years to come, then the Vortex Crossfire II Solar Red Dot 2 MOA Tan is an excellent choice.

Key features

• Solar Auto D-TEC™ technology automatically switches between solar power and battery power to maximise operating time.
• 2 MOA red dot with 12 brightness settings offers rapid target acquisition and high precision in a wide range of lighting conditions.
• Motion Activation automatically switches the visor on when movement is detected and off after approximately ten minutes of inactivity to save battery power.
• ArmorTek® lens coating, the Micro T-2 footprint and the included Low Mount and Lower 1/3 Co-Witness Mount ensure a durable and versatile mounting solution.

Common mistakes

A common misconception is that the solar cell completely replaces the battery. The Solar Auto D-TEC™ technology supplements the power supply when there is sufficient light, whilst the battery is automatically used when necessary.

It is also important to select the correct mounting height in advance and to carefully zero in the sight for optimum performance.
