Optics Crossfire HD 1400 Laser Rangefinder

I picked up the Vortex Crossfire HD 1400 for this year’s season, and it’s already earned a permanent spot in my pack. It’s quick, dead-on accurate, and easy to use even with cold hands. The readings pop up fast, which makes a huge difference when you’re trying to range a buck that isn’t going to stand still for long. The glass is crisp, the display is clear in low light, and the lightweight build means it doesn’t feel like you’re lugging around extra gear. The angle compensation is spot-on for shooting from a stand or across uneven ground. If you hunt, you know how important reliable ranging is. This thing delivers every time. Absolutely worth it.

I bought this rangefinder for multiple purposes—military training, recreational shooting, golfing, and outdoor activities—and it has performed well across all of them. Performance & Features Accurate Readings on Larger Structures & Terrain– Reaches out to 1,400 yards on large structures/terrain and delivers consistent, accurate readings. Great for navigation purposes, terrain association, and terrain sketches as well as range finding on the golf course. Accurate Readings on Single Targets– Easily reaches out to the 750 yards advertised for game. Readings are, again, consistent and accurate. Great for hunting and other recreational shooting purposes. User-Friendly Design – Simple functions, an easy-to-read display, and quick focusing for nearly any eye relief. Durability & Battery Life – So far, it has handled rough conditions without issue, and the battery life has been excellent. Compact & Lightweight – Small enough to fit into a pocket or magazine pouch, making it easy to carry. Carrying Options & Accessories– Package comes with a well-built pouch, neck strap, and clipped elastic lanyard, providing multiple ways to secure and carry it. For the price, this rangefinder delivers outstanding performance. Whether for the range, the golf course, or the field, it’s a top-tier option. After extensive use, I’ll likely be sticking with Vortex for future rangefinders.

As deer season has approached, I was in the market for a rangefinder. After tons of research, I settled on the Vortex Crossfire and I am glad that I did. In addition to the rangefinder, it comes with a case, battery, glass cleaning fabric, and two lanyards. It’s usability is intuitive and it ranges well. The glass quality is impressive, as I was able to see my targets without a problem. It’s on the cheaper end of rangefinder options, yet it is backed by Vortex’s lifetime warranty. If you’re in the market for a rangefinder that is quality and affordable, this is the one.

Great product and got it during a sale which makes it even better.

Excellent range finder! Reads red, adjustable brightness. Does everything I want it to at a reasonable price and it's guaranteed for life. What more could you ask for?

I spent a lot of time researching rangefinders that offered performance without forcing me to take out a second mortgage. The Vortex Optics Crossfire HD 1400 hits the absolute sweet spot. This is a game-changer for hunters and long-range shooters who demand accurate, quick readings without the complexity or expense of flagship models. Why This Rangefinder Stands Out: HD Clarity and Red Display: The optics are fantastic for this price point. The "HD" system delivers a bright, sharp image, and the Red TOLED display is critical. You can read your yardage in bright midday sun or deep twilight—a massive improvement over rangefinders with black LCD readouts. The HCD Mode Advantage (Hunter’s Favorite): This is the feature that matters most. The Horizontal Component Distance (HCD) mode instantly gives you the angle-compensated distance. Whether you're shooting steeply up a hillside or down into a canyon, HCD tells you the true distance to shoot—no guesswork required. It’s fast and accurate every single time. Built Tough and Guaranteed: The unit feels rugged and lightweight (only 4.8 oz.), making it easy to carry. Best of all, it's backed by the Vortex VIP Lifetime Warranty. Knowing that Vortex will replace or repair the electronics and optics for any reason gives incredible peace of mind. Simple Operation: It’s incredibly easy to use right out of the box. The menu is intuitive, and switching between Normal, First (closest target), and Last (farthest target) modes is quick. A Note on Range: The "1400" range is the max you’ll get on highly reflective targets (like a barn or a stop sign). Be realistic: its effective Deer Range is 750 yards. For most hunting scenarios, this is more than enough, but don't expect it to reliably hit 1400 yards on a deer-sized object. Final Verdict: If you are a hunter looking for a reliable, angle-compensated rangefinder that delivers crystal-clear images and is backed by the industry's best warranty, stop looking. The Crossfire HD 1400 is the clear winner for value and performance.

This is my first range finder so I’m not able to compare to others. Brought it turkey hunting several times and have found it very useful. I could range deer up to about 300yrds. Past that and the magnification is a bit weak to hold steady. Pros: super lightweight, fast read out, clear objective glass, accurate, and user friendly. Cons: somewhat clunky menu for adjustments but simple to use, I’d like stronger magnification, menu button location isn’t ergonomic for me and hard to find in the dark, has a plastic feeling in the hands.

Virtex quality, very accurate at tested distances. Light weight, smaller size, perfect for field use.
