I have that scope Kilo.
Except for having an adjustable objective i really like it.
Does us fine to 600 yards.
Pain shooting steel at different distances.

After shooting it today Its ok. Tracks well. Its pretty clear.

I will say that I actually find it easier to shoot good groups from a bipod and rear bag than I do from my lead sled. I also find it easier to shoot good groups with 12-14x Magnification vs 18. Thats at 100 yards. I am sure the 18x would come in handy further away.

I voted Leupold. Mainly because of the weight difference. That would matter to me, although shooting from a bench rest, it may not matter much.

Look around....I just saw that exact vortex on sale for $750

I think that I will buy the Leupold. For now though I put a cheap Vortex on it in 6-18x44. And actually this optic is pretty damn good for the price. I find it hard to justify the 400% increased cost when this $240 scope is actually quite nice.

What really sells me on the Leupold is the weight and that Turret system. I guess if I want those things I have to ante up.

Alas, i'm financially challenged.

Hence i don't have the option of ante up. I get what i can, and what works for me. I don't need/use all the bells and whistles.
Don't get me wrong, i love good glass as much as the next person. Just can't justify the exponential expenditure for it.

My vote, if the Crossfire II works for you, then why change it?

The Crossfire 2 will likely stay on the 6.5. If and when I buy the Leupold it will be for another rifle.
