Pros & Cons
Pros
Bang is worth the buck. Vortex has a great warranty too. Made in the philippines at the same factory as all the vortex viper models.
Even zoomed in to 12 power its nice and clear. Comes with a nice set of see thru bikini covers that seal water out.
Turrets are amazing way better than my burris, athlon, bushnell. Click are solid and audible clear to see ez to reset to zero.
For a budget tactical scope with no parallex this is about as good as you can get under $200. The reticle has 30 moa full power with 2 moa hash marks <--kind of weird but still works great. It even has an adjustment to focus on the reticle, never h... Read More
Vortex optics sure fit waterproof neoprene rifle-scope cover. Originally bought a crossfire ii for my remington 700 sps tactical. Put it on a ruger precision rimfire and its a perfect scope for it. Would definitely buy again for another rifle.
Cons
The diamondback is a budget optic and should be priced below the crossfire ii. It was fired once for zeroing, twice for last year's hunting season, and then put in a safe. The fov is very compressed.
Highlights
Quality
Not much to really say about this optic because the quality speaks for itself
The eye relief alone makes it more viable an option but the quality is just more sturdy and i like the turrets on this one much more
Same great quality you’d expect from vortex
To soon to say about the quality of scope itself havent done much shooting yet
Competitiveness
Hands down the best scope on the market in this price range
So far it will keep up and sometimes exceed some of the higher priced scopes

Update 13118i returned the scope due to the fact the vertical hashmarks on the turret consistently didnt line up

I saw multiple videos online on how to fix this however i am not going to fix a product that should have arrived without issues as basic as this

Additionally at further ranges 600 yards not having a consistent measurement for vertical adjustment became a serious issue

Finally i want to note that while the glass was great the eye relief eye box and light gathering at dawndusk were not what i needed

In a profession where you must engage the target and consistently hold sub moa regardless of the conditions this scope failed to do the job

Ultimately it failed to meet the demands of more extreme situations though
