Vortex Diamondback HD 16-48x65 Angled Spotting Scope

The Diamondback HD 16-48x65 Angled Spotting Scope utilizes HD quality optics for incredible resolution, dramatically reducing chromatic aberration delivering an outstanding edge-to-edge color fidelity. With improved image resolutions, the scope features a large 65mm objective lens for clearer, brighter, and sharper images, and offers less eye fatigue for long hours of comfortable use. The scope’s 16-48x magnification range allows for improved clarity with brighter images and increased field of view to let you see more. This Diamondback HD Spotting Scope also features a streamlined new look, including a helical focus wheel that delivers faster dialing and a sleek form factor for easy packing.

Fully Multi-Coated HD Optics

At the heart, this spotting scope features HD optical system with lenses that are multi-coated for maximum light transmission and minimum glare. Exterior lens surfaces come with an ArmorTek coating that protects against scratches, oil, and dirt. The scope offers a versatile magnification range of 16-48x allows for observing a wide field of view at a lower power and zooming in on distant details at a higher power.

Angled Body

This Diamondback HD spotter has an angled body design that allows for an overall lower mounting height. This maximizes stability in windy situations providing better comfort when in use over long periods.

Durable Construction

Designed to sustain harsh weather conditions, the scope's housing is Argon gas purged that prevents internal fogging, while O-ring seals prevent moisture and debris from penetrating inside. The waterproof, dustproof, and shockproof scope is compact yet powerful enough with wide field of view so that you never miss a detail.

Convenient Design

The Diamondback HD Spotting Scope features an adjustable eyecup that you can twist up and down for precise setting that maximizes your comfort. Its built-in sunshade significantly reduces glare and shields the objective lens from rain and snow.

Tripod Mount

The Diamondback HD comes with an Arca-Swiss compatible foot that allows mounting the scope onto any Arca-Swiss tripod head for steady viewing. The tripod mount collar lets you rotate the spotting scope body for viewing flexibility with adjustable viewing angles.
