The way you hunt demands more of an optic, whether you are picking a tine out of dense cover or seeing the telltale flick of an ear on the next ridge, according to the folks at Vortex, which just announced two new configurations in the Diamondback HD line of spotting scopes.
The new Diamondback HD models are the 16-48×65 and the
20-60×85, providing power and clarity in a redesigned package that’s high on
performance and low on sticker shock, Vortex said.
According to a Vortex news release, the power behind the new Diamondback®
HD spotters is an HD optical system that delivers crisp resolution, brighter
images, and edge-to-edge sharpness, reducing eye strain during long glassing
sessions. All air-to-glass surfaces are fully multi-coated for increased light
transmission and powerful low-light performance, giving you an edge when you
need it most.
In addition to rethinking the Diamondback® HD’s internal components,
Vortex® took a fresh approach to the spotter’s exterior, introducing
a streamlined, snag-free profile. The helical focus wheel provides fast, fine
adjustments, and an Arca-Swiss compatible foot means the Diamondback®
HD mounts quickly to compatible tripod heads without additional plates. Plus, a
neoprene cover comes included, keeping your spotter protected in the field.
MSRP is $499.99 for 65mm scopes, and $599.99 for 85mm scopes.
