About Vortex Optics Diamondback HD Scope FEATURED REVIEWS See all 6 reviews   Bright and beautiful! By Chris Just received this scope and put it side by side my older diamondback 20-60×80 scope and the new one, although heavier and larger, has a much better picture. Much brighter and more clear. Love the upgrade!   DIAMOND BACK SPOTTING SCOPE By BRAD R. I sent my old DIAMOND BACK in for service and I received a new DIAMOND BACK HD and WOW what a surprise! The VORTEX COMPANY gets a big thumbs up from me, thank you! Glassing out west demands an HD optic, but other systems can’t get you the clarity you need to see a tail twitch in low light, or pick a tine out of dense cover. The redesigned Diamondback HD spotting scopes have all the horsepower the long-distance hunter needs, and they excel in lowlight-right when you need it most. We’ve also streamlined the exterior for a sleeker, snag-free profile, building in a helical focus wheel. Updated Diamondback Spotting Scopes Vs Previous Models We wanted to develop a backcountry hunting spotter with all the advantages of an HD optical system and none of the sticker shock. With the increased objective lens diameters and updated magnification options, the new Diamondback HD spotting scopes strike an excellent balance between optical quality, size, weight, and packability.
