Description

Try not to spit out your coffee as you check the price of the Diamondback Tactical FFP after reading about its impressive performance and features. The first focal plane reticle, a feature ordinarily reserved for 4-figure-priced optics, allows shooters to use the information-packed EBR-2C reticles for ranging, holdovers or windage corrections on any magnification. Housed inside its durable, one-piece aluminum tube is a 4x optical system delivering excellent edge-to-edge clarity and sharp resolution. Exposed elevation and windage turrets are low profile enough to stay out of the way in packing situations, but offer the quickness, ease and precision of dialing accurate shots at distance. A side adjustable parallax gives shooters peace of mind by removing parallax error from the equation from 10 yards to infinity. Dual use for Shooting Tactical / Hunting. XD Lens Elements: Extra-low dispersion (XD) glass increases resolution and color fidelity, resulting in crisp, sharp images. Fully Multi Coated Lenses: Anti-reflective coatings on all air-to-glass surfaces provide increased light transmission for greater clarity and low-light performance. Magnification Rib: The raised rib on the magnification ring facilitates fast magnification changes in the heat of action. Precision-Glide Erector System: Uses premium components in the zoom lens mechanism to ensure smooth magnification changes under the harshest conditions. Precision-force Spring System: Uses premium components in the erector-spring system to ensure maximum repeatability and ease of adjustment. Exposed Tactical Turrets: The Diamondback Tactical scopes feature tactical windage and elevation turrets with Zero Reset making adjustments back to zero easy and quick. Aircraft-Grade Aluminum: Constructed from a solid block of aircraft-grade aluminum for strength and rigidity. Hard Anodized Finish: Highly durable low-glare matte finish helps camouflage the shooter's position. Our story has always started with you. Every time your heart skips a beat when you’re glassing a mountain and that bull appears; every time you bring us along for range day; and every time you trust us in the line of duty you’re telling the story of what it means to belong to Vortex Nation.

simply amazing
Size: 6-24x50 Style: EBR-2C (MOA)
We bought this scope for our young son to teach him to shoot as the rifle (savage axis) didn't come with iron sights. It's definitely more than we expected. Crystal clear image and powerful enough to see heat risers. Easy to zero and it held it like a champ. By the end of the first day at the range he was grouping at 2in and putting bullet within bullet hole at 200yds. We were using a marking target paper and the scope was able to pickup the holes easily in it... no walking down the range to see what's going on. The adjusting knobs felt good without exaggerated 'wiggle'. They had a nice click that can be felt on your fingers so you can count off the moa. Important when reaching out and/or hunting. We went with the Vortex rings for the mounting. Too many people cheap out with the rings then complain that the glass isn't performing as advertised. This scope "does not" have a locking zero. Bummer, but you can't have it all. If you want a locking zero then you have to step up. We did. We now own two scopes and a hoodie. The warranty is real. I had a problem with one of the scopes. Called them up, no hassle, sent it back and got it returned really quick. The scope was fine though.... I screwed up in the mounting... oops. Great scope for the price, twice the price. ... show more

Pretty darn good for the price

WORTH SO MUCH MORE THAN $400!
Size: 6-24x50 Style: EBR-2C (MOA)
For $400 dollars I really was t expecting much, I was completely wrong! Hands down you cannot beat this scope for the price point. Your not getting $2000 glass or features but you are getting so much more than you pay for!! I have only shot at 50 and 100 yards just to sight in but there is not a single complaint! Glass is crystal clear, parallax is dead on perfect, the turrets while slightly mushy give very sharp audible clicks. It tracked wonderfully on the tracking test and is just dead on wonderful. I’ll try and update again after I have more rounds through it. Overall though I would recommend and buy again! Update #1: went out to the range to see how good of a group I could put together and to see if there were any issues or changes in zero. Everything is still wonderful. My best five shot group at 100 yards was measured at 0.62 in with a Weatherby .300 win mag using Hornady 180 grain SST Super performance ammo. I love this scope and have recommended it to two guys at the range today. Can’t say enough good things for the price of this scope and the performance it gives you! ... show more

Better than expected!
Size: 6-24x50 Style: EBR-2C (MOA)
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. ... show more

Vortex for the win
Size: 6-24x50 Style: EBR-2C (MOA)
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. ... show more

Bright, clear optics...no color fringing!
Size: 6-24x50 Style: EBR-2C (MOA)
PROS! A great value for a FFP rifle scope. Scope is very bright and appears flat (without distortion) edge to edge. Scope parallax and eye piece focus are very smooth and stay set. Turret adjustments are smooth with positive clicks...especially like the simple zero reset feature. (Unfortunately does not have a reset stop.) At first scope seemed a little heavy and excessively long, but mounted almost perfectly on my Weatherby 270 WSM. Balances well with my rifle and looks good. Scope MOA reticle at first seemed a little complicated, but due to its first focal plane configuration adjusts with each change in magnification, stays constant to calibrations, and is easy to learn to use. The reticle markings are very precise and it is quite easy to shoot accurately out to 600 yds. (I don't have access to a longer range.) The horizontal turret adjustment allows for 59 MOA adjustment on my rifle...which is really all you need unless you are shooting 1400+ yards! To make "in the field" adjustments more accurate I downloaded the free Strelok Ballistics Calculator to my Android phone (In the Google Play Store). The ballistic calculator is very easy to use and helps calculate the proper MOA adjustments (elevation and wind) for the Scope. Has worked nearly perfect out to 600 yards for me. Eye relief is adequate...see below. All in all am very happy with scope and would recommend to anyone seeking "longer range" capabilities without an enormous price tag. CONS. Ocular box (eye piece) is a little big....using Leupold mounts and medium rings I had to mount the scope about 1/4" back from where it should optimally be. The eye box rubs against the rear of the action otherwise. Requires a slight shooting form adjustment to achieve proper eye relief. (This is not a scope issue...just a mounting problem issue for my particular rifle.) Will update in 6 months after hunting seasons are over! M ... show more

Amazing quality for the price!
Size: 6-24x50 Style: EBR-2C (MOA)
This is my second Vortex Diamondback Tactical FFP scope. I have the 4-16x44 for my deer rifle and have been so impressed with it, that I ordered the 6-24x50 for a long range .308 build. The glass is as clear as any I've ever seen for under $2000. The side focus is easy to use, with its clear range labels. The reticle is great for long distance shooting. It is so easy to use that I rarely dial in my windage or range. I just hold over with the reticle. The only negative I've noticed is there is a very small amount of play between the "clicks" on the windage and elevation turrets. These are 1/4 MOA clicks, so any play between clicks amounts to an imperceivable effect. Overall, I have not found another scope with the quality and features of the Vortex Diamondback Tactical anywhere close to its price. I have two now, and would not hesitate to buy another. ... show more

Love my scope
Size: 6-24x50 Style: EBR-2C (MOA)
For the money this scope is unbelievable, fantastic eye relief, warranty and support are outstanding, alignment was easy on all of the scopes I have bought from Vortex. I own 3 now. Most people that have seen it have bought one also.
