Probably the best option for a first collimator. It doesn’t make sense to spend a lot of money on equipment you’re just getting to know. On a low mount, it works fine with the iron sights on my submachine gun. Easy to install. Well-made product.
Vortex Crossfire Green Dot Collimator – Black
A closed collimator sight engineered for installation on a 22 mm RIS/Picatinny rail. Constructed from robust, impact-resistant aluminum, the housing offers exceptional durability. Integrated gaskets provide reliable protection against water and dust ingress. Included are both high and low skeleton-style mounts, enabling versatile attachment to various firearms, including shotguns, pistols, and AR-style carbines. The collimator operates on a single CR2032 battery.
durable aluminum, closed construction
Robustly crafted from lightweight aluminum, offering minimal weight along with high resistance to mechanical impact. An integrated sealed structure safeguards the internal elements, and in conjunction with the gasket, enhances the collimator’s defense against contamination. Nitrogen purging of the tube effectively eliminates the risk of internal fogging.
FMC multi-coated anti-reflective layers, aiming point
Utilizing FMC (Fully Multi-Coated) anti-reflective coatings on the collimator's lenses guarantees outstanding image clarity under all lighting conditions, whether during the day or at night. Thanks to these advanced coatings, visuals remain razor-sharp, and colors are rendered more vibrant and luminous.
Outfitted with a 2 MOA green dot reticle, the sight allows for vertical and horizontal adjustments. A turret situated on the side of the housing enables selection from 11 distinct brightness settings (9 levels for daytime use and 2 specifically designed for night vision compatibility), making it adaptable to a range of lighting environments.
Multi-Height Mount system
Outfitted with a Multi-Height Mount system, this model provides rapid height adjustment tailored to the user's preferences. The package features both a Lower 1/3 Co-Witness mount and a Low Mount, making it especially compatible with AR platforms, as well as shotguns and rimfire firearms.
battery-powered
Utilizes a single CR2032 battery as a power source. Delivers an operational lifespan of approximately 50,000 hours per battery.

The device itself is fine, but there are issues with the weaker brightness modes. Modes N1, N2, and 3 do not work. Night vision modes are not visible to the naked eye, but mode 3 should be working.
-
Really ok, does the job. The only thing is that you need to invest in better lens caps because they often fall off. But overall, for this price, it's probably worth it.
-
Nice collimator. I bought it for my Scorpion Evo 3. The mounting was hassle-free. It only took me a while to perfectly set the dot. I was doing it for the first time, so it took a bit of ammo :)
-
The collimator is definitely worth its price! Its build quality surpasses all Chinese replacements. On the Scorpion Evo or for a Glock conversion, it works perfectly at 25m. An additional plus for the convenient high mount.
-
Big plus for two mounts in the set—the high one can provide co-witness on a firearm, and the lower one is useful, for example, if like me, you have a conversion for an AK and don't need co-witness anymore. Optics are good, dot size for distances up to 25–50m (2 MOA) is fine.
-
A budget red dot sight, but of good quality and solidly built. It definitely surpasses all the cheaper Chinese alternatives. It's simply ideal for 9mm submachine guns. Handles distances of 25 and 50m with ease.
-
Nice, budget red dot sight, but with intensive use it sometimes turns off—one star less for that. The set includes 1/3 co-witness and low mounts, depending on your preference. It withstands rain, cold, and mud.

The Vortex Crossfire Red Dot CF-RD2 in black is a reliable and precise aiming tool. Equipped with a clear red dot, it makes quick and accurate target acquisition easy. Compact, lightweight, and durable, it's perfect both at the range and in dynamic tactical conditions. Great quality at an affordable price. I recommend it!
-
The best of the budget red dots. Solidly built, clear, and, as sometimes important, lifetime warranty. Solid sight mode controls (make sure to tighten the battery cap well because it can unscrew itself with shocks), simple mounting, easy to find a magnifier to add to the setup.

Really very good quality for such a price, intuitive operation and installation. Battery included. Additionally, according to the manufacturer, lifetime warranty. I definitely recommend it. My rating is 5/5.

The Vortex Crossfire red dot sight is what everyone sees, but for this price, there is probably nothing better in terms of value for money. It is a very good, solid, and sturdy optic that will do its job and look great on almost any rifle.
-
Unbeatable for the price! If you want a budget sight with high tier quality - this is the one. Direct rival to the Sig Romeo, it has the same ruggedness and features. Comes with a nice quality riser to keep you from breaking your neck! Super clear lens and reticule. Recommend it heavily.
-
The Vortex Crossfire Red Dot CF-RD2 Black is, as always, the most worthwhile option for a first red dot sight for an AR rifle. So far, everything is very good, nothing to complain about ;) Time to save for a magnifier!
