Overview
Exposed tactical turrets built for dialing elevation and windage allow quick and precise bullet drop and wind drift compensation at extended ranges. When we say precise - we mean it. These turrets track better than any Bloodhound and reliably return to zero every time. A zero-reset feature lets you re-index the zero reference marks on both turrets after sight in, while fiber optic rotation indicators integrated into the turrets provide a visual cue of your turret’s position.

Perfect scope
Last fall my my wife and I had the opportunity to go hunting antelope for the first time. About a week before the hunt started the scope on my wife’s gun broke and I had to replace it fast. I ordered a diamondback tactical 4-12 and told the folks I was on a real crunch for time and they helped me out big time. I had the scope fast and we got it set up in time to go out opening day. The scope zeroed fast and and held true. As we’ve played around with it it tracks great and is very clear. I’ve shot out to 700 yards with it and been on an 18 inch plate every time. This is one of the best optics I’ve ever played with for the price point. Can’t recommend higher.

Best bang for your buck
My whole goal was to build a hybrid precision rifle that I could take to the range and fill my seasonal hunting tag for under 1k. I've been a Vortex customer for a long time and my center focus of this build was which optic will I choose? Knowing the quality of the diamondback product line, when I saw the features of the diamondback tactical, I knew it was the best of both worlds for tactical precision and quality. Mounted on a Ruger Predator in 308 with Viper rings, this setup is the best bang for your buck and I highly recommend all Vortex products to everyone I know. Great job guys!

Great value at this price range.
Been debating on a scope for awhile now and what I wanted in it. After much thinking and a few words with my local Shop, I’ve decided to go with the Diamondback tactical over the crossfireII and other scopes on the market as to where a friend stuck with the crossfireII (Both of us were lookin for scopes at the same time) and man I’m so glad I went with this scope, Solid clicks and easy adjustment, love the oversized knobs and make adjusting a breeze. Glass is clear and crisp. Very sweet scope for the Price. Obviously it’s got a fixed parallax and no objective focus but at this price point it does not bother me at all. Just takes a little more work and it’s good.
