Review Summary

Well priced for this quality of glass. Solid construction and covers in with options - easy with support, and rugged with all covers on. Fits well in ghillie suit without covers coming loose. In a stationary setup - easy to remove and adjust onto tripod.

I have tried many others including Kowa, Zeiss, Swarovski, etc. these for the price point are great, definitely better scopes out there but none around this price point would be comparable.

Bought this for my parents so they can bird watch from their sun room. They love it! It is easy to set up and provides a crystal clear picture for all your viewing needs.

Recently submitted an older model Diamondback for warranty. It was unrepairable so they sent me this brand spanking new one and its night and day difference in glass quality. Vortex has really stepped up the quality and design of the Diamondback series. I am really pleased with the whole warranty process. If you want a smaller pack and budget friendly spotter, this is it!

I have several scopes, spotting scopes, and binoculars from Vortex Optics. First off I love the lifetime warranty, I destroyed a scope when I fell down going down a canyon to retrieve a deer, then I crushed a tube by over-tightening the rings. Both times Vortex sent me new optics even though I told them it was my fault. Last year my spotting scope fell over in high winds and when I went back to pick it up it still works as if it were new. Tough and dependable.

Great for a beginner spotting scope. I'm not a hunter but I love viewing wildlife with it and have no complaints.

I recently had the chance to test out the Vortex Diamondback HD Spotting Scope, and I couldn't be more impressed with its performance. The 16-48x magnification range was perfect for everything I needed, whether I was scanning distant landscapes or zooming in on finer details. The image clarity is outstanding, even at higher magnifications, and the fully multi-coated lenses provided vibrant colors and sharp contrast. I felt confident in its durability, too-the magnesium alloy body is lightweight yet tough, and the rubberized armor made it easy to handle in all weather conditions. The fact that it's waterproof and fog-proof only added to my peace of mind during my trips. Using the Diamondback HD was a breeze. The smooth focus wheel allowed me to make precise adjustments, and the adjustable eyecup was super comfortable, even when wearing glasses. I've used spotting scopes before, but this one stood out because it balanced high-end optics with great ease of use. Plus, knowing that it's backed by Vortex's lifetime warranty really sealed the deal for me. Whether you're a shooter, hiker, or birdwatcher, this spotting scope provides exceptional value for the price and has quickly become a must-have in my gear collection.

I know there are some more expensive scopes out there. Probably with better glass, but this is a great scope for the price. Strongly recommend

Great scope for a great price. The only downside is the clarity takes a large hit when at full power. Picture becomes hazy and dark. Somewhat to be expected but not the best when compared to other spotting scopes in the same price point. Still very happy with the spotting scope and it is well made!

Perfect for getting better look at big game, from deer in south dakota, all the way to SW Texas on my first trip hunting deer, pig and audad. The cover that comes with it helps greatly to keep dust and dirt out. Super easy to operate the focus dial. Young kids can easily operate it and spend hours each day looking for critters. Great price point. Works perfect for us.

I used the scope on my recent antelope hunt. The scope worked great to find bucks at long distances. Very clear glass.

Vortex always makes solid gear. This is no exception. I just got it as an entry into spotting scopes that wasn't going to break the bank. It's a little on the heavy side if you want to backpack with it. It does the job if you're using it out on day hikes. Overall, great tool to have in the field.

Ive had a few spotting scopes before yet this one's performance was amazing. Using it out in California to spot for mule deer was easier than I expected for my first hunt in the west. I've immediately placed it in my kit for hunting and work due to the weight and durability of the scope. My wife and kids also love to take it when we go on hikes to look at other wildlife. Over all this was an amazing investment.

I bought the diamondback spotting scope for hunting and so far have enjoyed it very much! It worked very good for sitting down and glassing different hills and mountains but was a little heavy for walking around with. Overall I would recommend the scope for someone's first spotting scope but if you plan to go on long hikes I would look into a more lightweight scope such as the razor.

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!
