Vortex Diamondback 1.75-5x32 BDC Rifle Scope

The Diamondback riflescope completely changes the rules when it comes to “you get what you pay for”. The performance-to-price ratio on this classic go-to hunting scope is off the charts when it comes to image quality, build quality and overall feel of the turrets and the fast-focus eyepiece. If you’re in the market for a high-quality riflescope, look no further than the Diamondback—a quality riflescope that offers a variety of configurations at a price that will leave you with plenty of money left over for ammo.

Optical Features:

• Fully Multi-Coated - Proprietary coatings increase light transmission with multiple anti-reflective coatings on all air-to-glass surfaces.
•  
  Second Focal Plane Reticle - Scale of reticle maintains the same ideally-sized appearance. Listed reticle subtensions used for estimating range, holdover and wind drift correction are accurate at the highest magnification.

Construction Features:

• One Inch Tube - Standard tube diameter for most American riflescopes.
• One Piece Tube - Maximizes alignment for improved accuracy and optimum visual performance as well as strength and water resistance.
• Aircraft Grade Aluminium - Premium grade of aluminium, valued for fatigue resistance.
• Precision Glide Erector System - Uses premium components in the zoom lens mechanism, ensuring smooth magnification changes under the harshest conditions.
• Fast Focus Eyepiece - Allows quick and easy reticle focusing.
• Capped Reset Turrets - Allow quick re-indexing of the turret (no tool needed) to zero after sighting in the riflescope. Caps provide external protection for turret.
• Waterproof - O-ring seals prevent moisture, dust, and debris from getting inside the tube, ensuring reliable performance in all environments.
• Fogproof - Filled with argon gas to inhibit internal fogging.
• Shockproof - Rugged construction withstands recoil and impact.
• Hard Anodized Finish - Highly durable hard-coat anodization provides a low-glare matte surface and helps camouflage the shooter's position.

Breakdown of BDC, V-Plex and Rimfire Reticles:

• BDC Reticle
  • This means Bullet Drop Control and it minimises the need for guessing bullet hold-over at long distances. By selecting the appropriate hashmark you will get a reliable bullet-drop reference. This reticle also provides you with reference marks, which can compensate for bullet drift in windy conditions or to range distances.
• Vortex Dead-Hold BDC Reticle (MOA)
  • Customized hash mark design helps eliminate guesswork on hold over and windage corrections. Good for hunting/shooting at varying ranges where estimating hold over is a concern.
• V-Plex Reticle
  • This is another term for Duplex Reticle: Standard crosshairs that are thicker at edges (for faster target acquisition) and thinner in the centre (as not to obscure the view of the target).
• Rimfire Reticle
  • These reticles are more suitable for short-range shooting. They are specially designed for use with rifles that have low recoil as they aren't strong enough to withstand the force of high recoil. This has typically shorter eye relief as the milder recoil that you get from a rimfire rifle reduces the need to have long eye relief. They have a parallax setting of about 50 yards, meaning you should have a scope with a parallax setting for 25 or 50 yards instead of the typical 100 yards you often see on hunting scopes.
