Overview
Glassing out west demands an HD optic, but other systems can't get you the clarity you need to see a tail twitch in low light, or pick a tine out of dense cover. The redesigned Diamondback HD spotting scopes have all the horsepower the long-distance hunter needs, and they excel in lowlight—right when you need it most. We've also streamlined the exterior for a sleeker, snag-free profile, building in a helical focus wheel.
Included in the Box
- Neoprene cover
- Tethered objective lens cap
- Tethered ocular lens cap

Kid proof for sure
I bought this scope for some light hunting but mostly hiking and animal spotting. It sits in front of our huge plate glass window over looking our 6 archer back yard. My kids have cross threaded the eye piece cover. I sent it back and Vortex fixed it in less than 2 weeks. The day I got it back my daughter unthreaded the eye piece and destroyed it trying to hide her mistake. I sent it back and once again Vortex fixed it ASAP.
I have had this on deer, bear and elk hunts. This thing is solid. It doesn't look as good as the higher priced scopes and doesn't have a replaceable eye piece like the higher priced scopes.

Bright and beautiful!
Just received this scope and put it side by side my older diamondback 20-60x80 scope and the new one, although heavier and larger, has a much better picture. Much brighter and more clear. Love the upgrade!

Brings in the Bacon
Great for the range and for spot and stalk. If you have skills, a means I of accurate ranging and a rifle setup that can ethically reach out a ways (this distance is subjective) it is extremely useful when hunting large game in the high mountains.
Easy setup, clarity of glass and level of magnification are all very functional at a price that is affordable for the enthusiast or retiree. Is there better glass out there...yes, but this will get the job done and done well at practical distances (for me inside 1000 yards; caliber dependant).
With the warranty you are not afraid to pack it out and use it in the field, or the range.
