Source: vortexoptics.com (verified 2026-07-10) · corroborated by scopesfield.com. Verified by direct fetch of the vortexoptics.com product page (SKU CF-4312): MSRP $229.99, magnification 10x, 42 mm objective, eye relief 15.0mm, linear field of view 325' @ 1000 yds, weight 23.0 oz, nitrogen-purged waterproof/fogproof. The manufacturer page does not name the prism type or a release year, so release is left null and the roof-prism value is taken from corroboration. Model identity (Crossfire HD, 10x42, CF-4312) and every spec — including "Prism Type Roof", 325 ft FOV, 15mm eye relief, and 23 oz weight — are corroborated verbatim by the dated Scopes Field hands-on review (updated 2025-06-21).
