Thread: Vortex Diamondback Riflescopes

Ive just brought in a Diamond back 4-12x40 with the BDC. Its looks to be pretty clear and bright. On my initial tests of the turrets, they do seem nice and positive, with good solid clicks. They are marked in MOA, and can be reset to zero after zeroing the rifle. I have dialed 20 moa up and back to zero and it returns to same POI, same with Windage.

Reasonably compact scope, not too heavy. I think with the combination of the BDC and turrets that seem like they will offer repeatable dialing, it should be a good option for people looking at a low priced scope to get into shooting at extended ranges.

I have mounted it on my model 7 260 Rem, and plan on using it for mostly shorter range bush type hunting, but have the ability to use reticle or dial for any longer shots that may present.

We will be having a long range gong shoot after easter, so will put it thru its paces, happy to report how it goes.

Landed it here for about $270NZ from OpticsPlanet, bloody cheap - Never got my free Vortex cap tho :-(
