Reviews & Ratings for Vortex Diamondback Rimfire 2-7x35mm 1in Tube Second Focal Plane Rifle Scope — 51 reviews — Page 1

I spent a little more money to buy the Diamondback rather than the Crossfire scope. I am very pleased with the Diamondback scope and also the Vortex incredible warranty.

I have been wanting to try a Vortex scope but never seemed to have the rifle for one. I have typically either bought something very inexpensive like a Tasco or BSA, etc. to match an inexpensive gun, or a high quality Leupold for a nicer rifle. The Vortex falls right in the middle and doesn't seem to fit either category. That actually turns out to be its strong point. The optics are beautiful and comparable to Leupold but at a much lower price point. The price is only slightly more than the cheaper scopes with MUCH better optics and a crisp easy to see reticle. If you plan to be looking down the scope more than once a year, do yourself a favor and spend a little bit more on a Great product. My only criticism is the removable scope covers. They fit very loosely around the objectives. I actually question if they are the correct size for my scope. I will probably replace with flip-ups. I would have gladly paid $10 more for the scope if they included flip up caps. The scope requires the high scope rings for mounting. Not a downside, just be sure to buy the high mounts with this scope. With the mediums the rear objective was sitting right on the top of the gun. I am also not sure if 7x magnification is going to be enough. I put this on a .17 rifle with the idea of being able to shoot squirrels at 100 yards. At that distance I will probably wish I had 9x or 12x magnification. Fortunately, the optics are so clear that I should still be able to pick out targets at tha...

Mounted on a 10/22 project. Good quality and all parts move correctly with no sloppy or rough areas. Clear glass compared to other budget some I've used. Worth the purchase

This scope for the price has exceeded my expectations. Very clear and easy to sight in.

Easy to mount, switched from adjustable parallax to this fixed models.
The clarity was top notch, easy to site in and the ability to lock in your turret and swap back is nice feature. Shoot over 250 rounds first day out after getting sighted at 100 yards was shooting 1” grouping. I will add until this purchase I was a hand gun shooter so 100 yards is a change.

Awesome optical quality for the money. Vortex is always top-notch.

Bought this to put on an accurized 10/22, and it was exactly what I expected from a vortex dimondback series scope. The lens is clear and the retical is a traditional duplex, which is fine for my application. Vortex never diasapoints.

Great product at a good price. Would definitely buy again, always having good deals

I purchased this scope to put on a Springfield bolt action 22lr. It was easy to zero and appears to have precise adjustments. Glass is quality for the money invested.

I put this scope on a Springfield Waypoint 22 and zeroed it for 50 yards. The adjustments are precise and the sight picture is nice and clear.
