Our take on the Vortex Crossfire HD 1400 Rangefinder

The Crossfire HD 1400 is Vortex's entry-level laser rangefinder, rated to 1,400 yards on reflective targets and built around a 5x monocular with HD glass and a 7-degree field of view. It reads in yards or meters, offers line-of-sight and angle-compensated modes, and is fully waterproof with a 4.8 oz body that fits a shirt pocket. Against pricier rangefinders it gives up magnification, a red OLED display and longer ranging, but it covers typical rifle and bow distances with Vortex's VIP lifetime warranty. It suits hunters and recreational shooters who want a simple, rugged rangefinder without paying for ballistic solvers.

Questions and answers

Is the Crossfire HD 1400 good for bowhunting?
Yes. Its angle-compensated HCD mode gives true horizontal distance for uphill and downhill shots, which is what bowhunters need. Ranging on game is quick at typical bow distances.
How far can it actually range?
The 1,400-yard figure is for highly reflective targets. Expect solid readings on deer and trees at a few hundred yards, which covers most rifle hunting.
Does it have a red display or ballistic calculator?
No. The display is black, and there is no ballistics solver or Bluetooth. For a red OLED readout or applied ballistics you need a step-up model.
Is it waterproof?
Yes, it is fully waterproof, and owners report it working through rain and snow.
What is in the box?
The rangefinder, a battery, a carry case and a lanyard. It comes with Vortex's VIP lifetime warranty.
How does it compare with the Vortex Ranger?
The Ranger adds higher magnification, a red display and longer ranging for more money. The Crossfire HD 1400 is the simpler, lighter choice for closer work.

At Academy Sports, for $199.99, as of our latest check.
