Optics Diamondback Tactical First Focal Plane Riflescopes

Can’t recommend enough Tracks great, turrets are great, clarity is great, eye relief is good, parallax is great, it’s pretty light for its size. The picture attached is from my old rem 700 from 1985 in 30-06 180 grain barns game king Walmart hunting ammo shooting at trash at 100 yards at the local game land range

Sturdy and a perfect view.

Really nice clarity and zero was easy and fast

I had serious doubts about the quality of this scope given the price point, but it surpassed my expectations. The thing that worried me was that their wasn't very much parallax adjustment past 300 yards. In fact none. I went to our spot and dialed in a target at 347 yards. The adjustment was already out to infinity at this short distance. The picture was clear and crisp. Went to 400, 600 and then 850 yards. Still a clear picture on infinity setting. Glass was clear to the edges, big eye box. Even bobbing my head gave no parallax deviations. Tracked perfectly and returns to zero, spot on! Turrets are not mushy like others have said. They are just close ratioed, but concise feelable clicks. Using the Burris XTR Signature rings with 20 MOA inserts added gives me plenty of adjustment to go out beyond the 1000 yard mark. Not worried about not having a zero stop as one full revolution (15 MOA) gets you already out past 600 yards, so doubt you will get confused as to where you are at. Buy once, cry once! This scope is as good as or better than competing scopes costing up to twice the price.

Great scope to use on my .22LR rifle. I swapped the rail on my .22LR rifle receiver to a 20 MOA rail was able to use this scope to clearly hit targets out to 200 yards. The glass is very clear. The turrets have nice positive click feel. The FFP reticle is nice and sharp. The separate parallax knob really helps get a accurate and focused sight picture. I like it so much, I bought another for another .22LR I have.

I've now had a chance to shoot this scope side-by-side with the Vortex Viper-PST, and have some thoughts for those deciding between the two. The most obvious consideration is price, and at about half the cost, the Diamondback Tactical performs well for most applications. That differential does come from somewhere though, with the Viper-PST being a much higher quality scope. As I see it, the difference in cost comes from a few major factors: 1) Place of manufacture. The DT is produced in China, with the labor costs having an obvious impact on price. 2) Glass clarity. The Viper-PST is completely clear edge-to-edge, with absolutely no shadowing. The DT presents some shadowing at the edges of the view that could affect low-light shooting, especially at distance. 3) Eyebox. The Viper-PST has an extremely forgiving eyebox, with extremely loose head positioning allowing for a clear view. This has an additional impact when switching the rifle between shooters. 4) Features. Although the DT retains a surprisingly extensive number of features for its price, it does lack some of the features of its more expensive counterpart. The DT does not have a zero-stop like the Viper-PST, although it does have an easy to use system for repositioning the turrets after zeroing the rifle. Obviously the DT is not illuminated, where the Viper-PST is, which may have an additional impact on low-light shooting or use with a clip on night vision device. Overall, the Diamondback Tactical is a great option for the price, and would serve any hunter extremely well. For long-range shooting applications or competition a Viper-PST will solidly outperform the DT, but it remains up to the consideration of the individual shooter if their application demands the increased cost.

Worth every sent and I feel like this is one of the best deals on optics out there. I can do with this the exact same thing I did with scopes 3 times the price. Quality of glass is not as good as higher end optics... so do your research and understand the difference. I’m not taking a picture and bottom line, the Bullet hits in the same place at extended range. 800 to 1000 yards is not an issue. You may be or the weapon but the optic is solid. Also holds zero... I have had zero issues. MRAD is fantastic and reliable once you’ve run it out to range. If you use the turrets they work like there supposed to and I’ve had no issues returning to zero after dialing them in at range. Zero sets a little lower then zero... doesn’t line up exactly between the turret and the housing. It’s really a tiny thing as it makes no difference once you understand how it lines up... mine is just a hair lower. I use ballistic wraps on my turrets so it’s a real non-issue for me.

Couldn’t have asked for more, turrets track amazing, reticle is dead, both center and mils. I bore sighted the scope before shooting (just by eye, no laser or tools) and I was 3 Mils high and 2 right, adjusted according to my observation of that on the optic and it was dead on. Less then 10 rounds shot to a very shootable zero. Shot a few groups and it’s amazing the difference a good optic can make compared to the one that generally comes with rifle/scope combinations. I feel I can in know way shoot to this scopes ability so I think it’s the perfect choice for a new long range shooter, it has the basics dead on, no fancy features but the turrets track Great, picture is crystal and the reticle is dead accurate. The ONLY thing I could complain about is like others have said, adjusting your head to get a good sight picture can require a bit of work, the optic wants you in a specific spot but with the right mounting for eye relief, it’s not noticeable. 10/10, amazing first focal plane sight, this is my first one and I’d never go back to anything else given the choice.

love this works good

Came really fast and to the door. Packaged very nicely and got er on the pew pew and snapped a couple coyotes and a wolf with it. Held zero very well. Even after a fall and slide down a hill.

文句のつけようのないスコープだ。レチクルがエアーライフル猟にとても合っている。バトラーキャップを別途購入する必要がある。

Happy with this scope so far! Vortex is always making great products

Anche se il prodotto è confezionato in Cina, la qualità della Vortex rimane invariata. Per il suo ottimo livello qualitativo, l'ottica è da considerarsi economica. I click delle torrette sono ben distinguibili; la torretta di regolazione del parallasse è un po' dura da regolare, ma funziona. Anche la regolazione del numero di ingrandimenti è duro da ruotare, ma non crea grossi problemi. Sotto i 10 ingrandimenti si fa fatica a vedere le tacche del reticolo; rimane ben visibile la il crosshair. Quando si ruota la torretta di regolazione verticale, non troviamo alcun indice che ci dica se siamo al primo o al secondo giro. Bisogna stare attenti. Ma per il prezzo proposto, non possiamo chiedere di più. OTTICA VALIDA!!!
