Bang for the buck!
I recently purchased this scope after deciding to move from a red dot to a magnified optic on my AR15. I was not interested in a scope the size of the rifle or capable of spotting distant planets, a 1.75-5 power was precisely what I needed. The build quality and attention to detail are outstanding, the glass is clear and the reticle crisp. Sight in was a standard affair and I feel the scope has allowed my rifle’s accuracy to be realized. I am still in awe that this level of quality and performance came so affordably!
Thank you Vortex

Clarity is second to none.
I was shopping in the local gun store for a good scope for deer hunting. While I was looking at Nikon and other big name scopes the guy at the counter recommended the Diamondback to me. I’ve heard of vortex ops before but never owned one. The clarity on the scope was amazing. I’ve had this scope for a couple years now and I’ve had it on my 308, my 30-30 and now it’s on my ar15. Any you have, this will be a great scope for. Close up range to 100s yards out, it will do the job.vortex is my go to for all my scope needs from now on.

Cold Range discussion who has the best scope
Inevitably during cold range breaks the guys eventually get around to bragging about their optics and often who has the most expensive scopes and therefore the best accuracy. I often was getting the " Try mine I paid a gazillion dollars for it so it is a real tack driver". Jeez, these guys crack me up. I am a firm believer in spending the least amount of $ necessary to get the job done. I will put my Vortex Optics DBK-08-BDC Diamondback 1.75-5x32 Riflescope - Dead-Hold BDC Reticle up against much of the high dollar stuff that's out there. I let a few of the guys try my rifle and without fail they just assume its a thousand dollar rig. In reality it is just the right scope for the job at hand. It is absolutely great for target shooting up to 200 yards (longest range near me).
