I mounted this on a suppressed Ruger 10/22 Olympic edition. It's super clear and very accurate for shooting 22 LR. I've never had to use the Vortex warranty but it's great to know they will fix it or replace it without issue. I have many Vortex optics and highly recommend them.

Great 22 Scope

Using it on my Bergara B14 22LR rifle and it is outstanding. I have gone out to 100 yards hitting consistently with CCI ammo. Clear glass and view even in the AZ desert.

I mounted this scope on

I mounted this scope on a Ruger 10/22 for my son's shooting team. The crystal clear glass is amazing. It tracks perfectly so zeroing was easy. I wish I had purchased better rings for it. I plan to order another for my other 10/22 for squirrel hunting.

Sits atop a Model 70 .270

I also use this scope on a centerline. 270 and it sat in my closet and had been moved multiple times in a case that let's my dear deer rifle slide a little and bump around. Got my license again this year and shot it 2 weeks ago with great results. Adjusted it blindly during cleaning and today I was punching dead center and I bought a gong and hung it at 150yds. After 100 and 50 yrds I rang the gong 2 for 2 and couldn't be happier. Didn't want see through mounts, so I keep it at 2 power and if I need it at 7 or more, I'll have time to adjust the scope and take deep breaths.

Great Product

This is just another example of a quality Vortex Optic. I mounted this optic on a Henry lever-action .22 LR for small game hunting. Everything looks great through this optic. I added a set of the readily available Vortex flip-up lens covers which are not necessary, but definitely are more convenient. Part of why I buy Vortex optics is because of their Lifetime, hassle-free warranty. All of their products I have purchased have proven exceptionally reliable however, so I have not had to make a warranty claim yet.

10/22 Perfect Match

Perfect optic for my mild build Ruger 10/22, bright and clear at 50 yards, great out to 100. This is now my third Vortex following a Viper HST and a Strike Eagle 1x8 FFP.

Simply Fantastic

I have this scope mounted to a Henry Frontier Long Barrel... This scope allows any rimfire owner to go from "It's just a 22..." to "Wow, what is that again?.." Clarity, ease of use, and quality are outstanding. I even asked for a hand from Vortex choosing the right Defender Cap, they were spot on! (Use two 0-32 caps for the rimfire, btw.) This thing is simply awesome!! The ONLY thing I'd like to be able to do (that I can't) is to adjust the focus with the defender cap installed... Pass that one on up to engineering! Thank you Vortex!

Am I the only one?

So I know it's labeled as a rimfire scope, but I have had this scope on my Ruger American in .270win and have harvested plenty of deer and shoot 1MOA to sub MOA depending on the ammo I'm shooting. I have had this scope on this rifle since I was 12 and I'm 19 now...that's 7 years and it has always held zero, held up to the recoil of the .270win, and always been accurate. Am I using the product wrong? Yea.... Has it ever let me down? No. I really have no idea why this is rated as a rimfire scope. I have used scoped from other brands rated for centerfire but in reality they were "rated" for it and can't handle the recoil. Like seriously.....Vortex.....Is this really a rimfire scope or is it a centerfire scope the you guys "rated" for rimfire? I really am curious. I have taken so much game with this scope on my .270win I have a hard time believing that this is a rimfire scope. Love a response if you guys find the time.

Great Budget rimfire

I bought this scope last year for my Remington 597. Sighted it in at 50yds and it’s done everything I need for predator control on my property. Love this little scope.

Great budget scope

I bought this about a year ago for my Savage MkII and couldn't be more impressed. It's managed to keep its zero the entire time I've owned it, never needing adjustment. I'd give this one more stars if they'd let me.

Awesome scope with simple but usable reticle. Have it mounted on a 10/22 and it just fits.

This + CZ455 = No Excuses

This is an awesome little rimfire scope. I put it on a cz455 and it has held zero very well. Nice and light, but still appears to be durable and has excellent clarity. I enjoy my time behind this piece of glass, as it is so easy on the eyes. Just what I was looking for in a rimfire scope, perfect magnification range for anything from shooting groups to controlling pests and small game hunting.

Excellent option for any short range gun!!!

I purchased this optic in 2015 for my CVA Optima V2. I wanted an optic that worked well from 10 yards to 100 yards since I deer hunt in tight quarters and this Diamondback 2-7x35 fits the bill! The model name includes the word Rimfire but don't let that deter you from putting it on something else. Its downright rugged. Glass is bright and clear at all magnification ranges but that is to be expected with Vortex quality. I wouldn't want any other brand of optic on my guns after the success I have experience with either products.

Great scope for the money

I put one of these on my colt AR-15. It's a tack driver. I was shooting 1 inch groups at 100 yards kneeling. I recently put a bipod on it, I'll wager that group tightens up. Point is, this scope is great, glass is clear, easy to see, reticle looks great also. I'll agree with some of the others in that the eye relief is a little less forgiving than more expensive optics, but its easy to adjust to. Hands down would recommend.

Perfect optic for my Ruger American Rimfire 22LR

Bought this about a month ago and finally got it mounted and bore sighted. Shot a few times at the local 11 yard indoor range and it is spot on even at close distance. Easy to adjust the magnification and eye relief. I can’t wait to get this out to shoot on a longer range to really put it through its paces.

Awesome Scope for Rimfire Rifles!

Had this scope a couple months now and it is fantastic. I mounted it on my Ruger .17 HMR and popped squirrels with it all fall and winter. Extremely clear glass and has great view in low light conditions. Amazing Value for the price. I would put it up against every Nikon or Leupold I own. Every optic I purchase from now on will be Vortex.

Great all around

I purchased this scope for my slug gun and I am glad I did. Clarity is great. It can take the shock from the slug gun and still holds true. I have hunted in the rain and snow without any issues.

Perfect option at this price point.

I had always used little .22 scopes and decided to try something bigger. At this price point, you couldn’t ask for a better scope and the bigger field of view has been amazing. A good scope is made even better with the Vortex warranty, I couldn’t be happier.

diamondback rimfire 2-7

I purchased a Diamonback Rimfire for my Ruger take down 10/22 and was totally impressed with the bright image and quality of the scope . After mounting I was pleased that the scope and receiver still fit in the Ruger takedown case. I would recommend this scope to anyone.

Great truck scope

I run one of these on my 300blk. So far i have culled close enough to 70 red deer with it. I shoot 4 types of ammo and have a note book to change my zeros, the scope tracks and hold perfectly. The low light and under light** clarity are idea for the night shooting my gun gets used for, and it does get a beating in my truck. **perfectly legal shooting red deer under light in New Zealand

· The Diamondback loaded with features! First, the solid one piece aircraft grade aluminum alloy construction makes the Diamondback riflescope virtually indestructible and highly resistant to magnum recoil. Argon purging puts waterproof and fogproof performance on the agenda, and advanced fully multi-coated optics raise an eyebrow when crystal clear, tack-sharp images appear in the crosshairs. Look for all this and more in a riflescope you'd expect to cost quite a bit more but doesn't. We can live with that.
· Experience great hunting in dense cover!! Vortex knows good hunting gets all the better with high quality optics. For that reason, Vortex makes sure every glass surface of the Diamondback is fully multi-coated to transmit a full 91 percent of the light delivering the bright details you need when taking aim.
· With a Diamondback riflescope on your firearm, you'll head out with complete confidence in the harshest of habitats. The Diamondback takes great strides against the abuse of repeated recoil with a rugged one piece main tube constructed of 6061 T6 aircraft-grade aluminum and sets high standards for waterproofing and fogproofing with argon gas purging.
· Precision-Glide Erector System features premium grade fluoropolymer teflon resin bushings that provide exceptional resistance to stress cracking, temperature change, corrosion, and friction-induced wear. In addition, these bushings have an ultra-low coefficient of friction for the smoothest possible operation of the magnification adjustment.
