In my opinion, the diamondback line is by far the best bang for your buck scope line. I have several different configurations on various caliber rifles and for the price point they have excellent clarity!

You can't beat this scope for the price. I've used it the last 2 hunting seasons and it has delivered each time. It's a good power for short to moderate range shots and has performed really well in the elements. I'm a PA White Tail hunter so it has seen all the elements the area has to offer. The scope covers it comes with are great as it keeps the rain and snow off my lenses until I need to use them.

Super solid rifle scope! I've had it on my AR and now it sits on a 300 black out always performs flawlessly. Even lost a turret cap and vortex sent me a new one super fast for free!

This 3. 5-10x50 Diamondback started out on a . 270, and now is on a . 35 Whelen. For the money, this one is hard to beat. The glass is very clear and it's low light retention has never left me wanting more. An illuminated fire dot in the reticle is the only change I would make to it. If you are looking for budget friendly, then start with this scope for hunting, skip the Crossfire line, spend a little extra and you will not be regretting that decision.

Not high end like some of their models, but holds zero and rugged enough for my uses! It's a lot cheaper than their higher end models as well. Mounted it my ranch rifle with no issues.

I us this scope to hunt with in 300 yards or less. Lots of light and the glass is clear.

I was hesitant to spend the money on a real scope, but I'm glad I did. I grew up with iron sights and a maximum of x4 scopes. But let me tell you, glass has improved so much in the years. This scope was crystal clear, all of the adjustments are tight and solid. Everything seals very nice to keep dust and debris out. Overall, I'm glad I went through with the purchase

This is a good quality scope that works well for anyone who is shooting under 500 yds. Clear glass

Really can't beat the price and quality that comes with this scope. Bought for a starter hunting rifle build and it is terrific.

Like any Vortex optic this scope delivers good quality and craftsmanship. Looks great feels great and I was able to shoot sub MOA groups with two different rifles.

Mounted it up and went to the range to zero the rifle. Clarity of the optic is great. First shot at 100yds was 2.5 low and 2.5 right. Made 6 clicks left and 6 up?. Next shot drilled the bull. Fired 2 more and the holes were touching. Definitely recommend!!

It's a nice scope and well priced. However I do thing the crosshairs are to thick. Compared to other Vortex Diamondack scopes the crosshairs are even thicker other scopes of same brand.

I wanted a scope that would be good at moderate range, this is it, it has stood up to many days on the range, putting 7mm rem mag down the barrel.

I am impressed with the clarity of this scope. Great light gathering in low light, and I really like the Dead Hold reticle. You can't go wrong with buying one!

Accurate adjustments, easy focus eye ring, clear sight picture, good eye relief for the setup. The primary reason I went with the vortex diamondback and not leupold. I needed/wanted a scope with a 1" tube and 50mm obj lens, the only leupold options are vx freedom and vx3. The problem I have with those two options is that the eye relief drastically changes based on the magnification level. On the vx freedom 3-9x50, it varies half an inch between low and high mag, for the vx3hd 4.5x14x50 it varies .8 of an inch! I really hate that about the cheaper leupolds. The vortex Diamondback 3.5-10x50 has an eye relief of 3.3" across the board, which is not great, but it's constant and I can work with that much easier that having to readjust my cheek weld every time I adjust mag. I much prefer the consistency.

Mounted on a 1st Gen M77 30-06, holding zero and hashes are almost dead on for yardages. Great budget scope and can't wait to take through the woods deer hunting this year. Also at twilight the reticle is still very easy to pick up on. Thanks Vortex!

It's better than a Shamwow
By Lou S.
I bought this scope to put on my Savage 308 Hoghunter build. I don't know how this company builds such a fantastic product for this price. Clear, crisp views from the reticle, the adjustments are solid. Get the BDC reticle, it is worth it. I love being able to use the LRBC too. Was ringing steel targets at 800 yards easily with this scope. In nerd speak this scope adds at +19 to accuracy, +27 to value and +9 to charasima.
Greatest scopes best prices

I bought my Diamondback a little over a month ago after doing research on a new scope for my Remington 783 .308. All I have to say is this product is the best purchase I have made. So far I have shot a few coyotes and numerous hogs with this combo and it does not disappoint. Once it is zeroed in the scope stays there and is much easier to use compared to other companies. I cannot wait until deer season comes up and get my deer and know it was the scope that allowed me to have a great shot bec...

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.
