Vortex Diamondback Angled Spotting Scope 16-48x65

Discover Unmatched Clarity with the Redesigned Vortex Diamondback HD Spotting Scope

When it comes to glassing out west, only a high-definition optic can meet the demands of the rugged terrain and elusive wildlife. But not all optics are created equal. The Diamondback HD spotting scopes have been completely redesigned to deliver unparalleled clarity, ensuring that you don't miss a single detail, even in challenging low-light conditions. Whether you're trying to spot a tail twitch in the fading light of dusk or distinguish a tine from dense cover, these spotting scopes offer the exceptional performance you need.

One of the key features of the Diamondback HD spotting scopes is their impressive horsepower, making them the perfect companion for long-distance hunters. With a versatile magnification range of 16-48x, these scopes allow you to zoom in on distant targets and observe them with incredible detail. The 65 mm objective lens diameter ensures ample light transmission, enhancing image brightness and clarity, even in dimly lit environments.

Field of view is crucial for tracking wildlife, and the Diamondback HD delivers in this aspect as well. With a linear field of view ranging from 138 to 72 feet per 1000 yards, you can scan vast landscapes without missing a beat. The angular field of view of 2.6 to 1.4 degrees further widens your perspective, providing a comprehensive view of the surrounding area.

Low-light conditions often pose challenges for hunters, but the Diamondback HD spotting scopes rise above the competition precisely when it matters most. Their exceptional low-light performance allows you to extend your hunting hours, maximising your chances of spotting the game during those crucial moments before sunrise or after sunset.

Not only does the Diamondback HD deliver unmatched optical performance, but it also boasts a sleek and snag-free profile. The exterior has been streamlined to minimise any potential obstructions, ensuring that your focus remains solely on your target. The inclusion of a helical focus wheel further enhances ease of use, enabling quick and precise adjustments for achieving razor-sharp focus.

Weighing in at just 1.4 kg, the Diamondback HD spotting scopes are designed with portability in mind. Whether you're embarking on a challenging hike or setting up a stationary observation point, these scopes won't weigh you down, allowing for effortless transportation and prolonged use without fatigue.
