Bought one, liked it, and bought a second one. - Vortex Diamondback HP 2-8x32mm Riflescope

Rich's Review of Vortex Diamondback HP 2-8x32mm Riflescope
My first scope was purchased for my 218 Bee. As I took it to the range I was impressed with the clarity of the view and positive operation of the turrets. I love the side adjustable parallax and after having it, I would not want a scope without that feature. I have a number of scopes where you adjust the parallax by turning the objective lens, but this side turret is so much better. This first scope is a standard reticle scope.
The second scope I purchased was for my 222 Rem which I can reach out a little further than the Bee. On this one I ordered the Vortex Dead-Hold BDC reticle, it came in 3 days, (I couldn't get the 2 day shipping to work with either). I mounted it up, positioned it for eye relief, and leveled it, and tightened it down. Prior to going to the range I went to the Vortex web site, went to Ammunition, at the bottom of the drop down clicked LRBC. This gives you the ranges that you will be dead on at the marks on the scope based on your caliber and load. There is also a formula for estimating distance using the wind drift side hash marks. At the range the sighting in was easy and positive, the turrets work nicely with no banging on the scope to get reticle movement. I sighted in dead on at 100 yards, first mark 227, second mark 350, and that all you could ever expect from a 222. There were further out marks, but hey like I said this is a 222.
As you can see I'm very happy with both these scopes.
