Vortex diamondback scopes - OpticsPlanet Exclusive Vortex Diamondback HP 4-16x42mm Rifle Scope, 1in Tube, Second Focal Plane (SFP)

The Vortex Diamondback HP 4-16x42 rifle scope is the perfect hunting scope for me. The elevation adjustment cover makes it impossible to accidentally spin the dial out of adjustment when removing the rifle from a bag or when brushing against clothing. This is a really important feature for me. The 42mm objective lense allows me to use low or medium rings which places the scope at the right height when the rifle is shouldered. And the maximum of 16 power is more than enough for me to use out to distances where I never exceed for ethical shots, although it's still plenty of power to target shoot out to 600 yards. I've shot 1000 yds with ease at 18x but it's challenging for the 16x. At 4x the side adjustment for parallax let's me focus down to around 40 yards for those unexpected close shots. I own 8 of these exact scopes simply because I get the same sight picture with each rifle and I'm very comfortable with the controls. I only have one improvement that I wish for and that's a little finer crosshair. Otherwise these are great scopes! And the Vortex warranty can't be improved on.
