Overview
Vortex's CF-80A is an 80mm spotting scope with 60x magnification, built with an aluminum housing in green.
An 80mm objective paired with 60x magnification is squarely in long range hunting and range use territory, where the larger lens pulls in more light for late day glassing. At 3.3 pounds and over 15 inches long it is built for a tripod rather than handholding for any length of time.
- 60x magnification
- 80mm objective lens
- Aluminum housing, green
Who it's for
Works for hunters and long range shooters who need reach at 60x and are set up to mount the scope on a tripod. Less suited to anyone wanting something small enough to carry all day without support.
Pros and cons
- 80mm lens supports low light glassing
- 60x magnification for long range detail
- 3.3 lb and 15.6 inches long, needs a tripod
- Not suited to handheld all day carry
Performance notes
The 80mm objective lens is large enough to keep the image usable in low light, which matters most at dawn and dusk when 60x magnification would otherwise show a dim, dark field. The aluminum housing adds some durability at the cost of the extra weight.
