## Description

DIAMONDBACK 4-12X40 RIFLESCOPE 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. 4-12x40 riflescope is ideal for big game, predator/varmint, muzzleloader, slug shotgun, and long range applications. Dead-Hold BDC reticle has a customized design that helps eliminate guesswork on hold-over and windage corrections. Good for any hunting or shooting at varying ranges where estimating hold-over would be a concern.

Review: Awesome Scope - Very Clear - Crystal Clear OPtics. Very easy to adjust for Bore Sight. Not too far off out of the box. Very easy to get a clean sight picture. I love it so far. I will update after a day at 200yrds if it doesn't function perfectly. As for now, I HIGHLY Recommend this scope. There's no Paralax, but I was aware of that and that was not neccessary for my needs. I traded that for the clairty of glass. I had a Barska and it took forever to get rid of the black fog around the reticle. This sights quickly and easily. NOTE - This is 1" Tube, NOT 30mm (1.25") Don't ask why I bring that up ;-)
Review: Excellent Purchase - Perfect starter scope! Budget Friendly and excellent magnification. Bought this item twice for both of my son's!

Perfect starter scope! Budget Friendly and excellent magnification. Bought this item twice for both of my son's!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great scope for the money!
*by P***. on March 7, 2012*

I did a lot of research before going with someone I had never heard of. What I found on various gun and hunting forums I'm on is that not a single person had one bad word to say about Vortex. I used a lot of Google-fu too and the thing that sticks out the most about my research was that I came across one forum post where a guy said he was a lifetime Leupold owner but after using the Diamondback he couldn't see EVER spending Leupold type money on a scope ever again. That was pretty much what sold me. My personal experience is limited to one range trip of about 3 hours but let me tell you. This thing is slick! It's THE NICEST scope I've ever owned in this price range. The glass is extremely clear, the variable power ring is easy to twist and the windage and elevation knobs are knurled and can easily be rotated without a coin or a flat head. The BDC reticle is fantastic and any picture you find online won't do it justice in real life. This is once company I'm glad I took a chance on. I got my hands on their Strike Fire recently too and it was a fantastic optic too. This is one company that I will definitely be revisiting when I need something else to put on top of another rifle. Update: This scope has seen action in the field and has helped me put meat in the freezer. It was nice to get out in a real world setting and off the range to see what it was capable of....I wasn't disappointed. She currently is seated in a LaRue mount(Which I highly suggest). I tried cheaper mounts that did "ok" but the LaRue really helped me settle in and tighted up my groups by at least half an inch at 100yds. Also, this is being usin on a AR in 6.8SPC with ZERO problems.
