- We had the chance to test out the new Vortex Diamondback HD spotting scopes while on our scout trip to Wyoming. For the money you will not find a better budget spotting scope.

No video through the glass? Very cool...
I installed this optic on a crossman 760 air rifle.I have now shot the riffle around 500 times during target/plinking practice, and the czcams.com/users/postUgkxc4K63Fd5LglDMObu7-Bgapxp_ef0W8hE scope has done well.With this optic, I have neutralized around 30 pigeons that were invading one of my buildings.For my short range air rifle, I will continue to use this scope, but will be upgrading to a more powerful scope, when I buy a more powerful air rifle, in order to shoot at longer distance.For the money I have spent, this scope has truly been a great buy.
What I don't understand is, why don't some reviews show the images through the scope, which images are exactly what everybody wants to see? If no images through the scope are shown, what sense does the review make? 🤷♂️
You're extremely limited by the camera.
The camera won’t show a representative image
I agree and was thinking the same thing. And if the camera doesn’t show an exact representation then the person reviewing should note that in the review. Any reasonable person would understand this. I sit here wasting my time thinking I’m going to see an image and all I see is 2 people talking about how great it is. Not to mention the fact that they’re probably doing a paid promotion.
I'm planning on a colorado elk hunt in November. Would you prefer the 16x48 or the 20x60 for that situation?
How does this spotting scope handle viewing targets between 600 and 800 yards?
Looking for my first spotter. Want to buy one for spotting paper target shooting out to 400 yard. Can i see hit/impact on paper out to those distances???? Thank you
Quality review!
I have a somewhat silly question. Does the scope come with that neoprene looking cover that is in the video?
Ours did in the box it came in.
Very new to scopes. Would a 65 be sufficient for spotting paper hits at 300 yards with a 6.5 CM or is 85 worth the upgrade?
For target shooting the 65 should be plenty good enough. It’s the one I would choose, I am very happy with it.
What tripod are you using?
Awesome 👍
What diamondbacks were you guys using? I’m debating on the diamondback 20-60X60 and the 20-60X80 angled. Thanks
I like the 60 better
Can you explain why you like the 60 better?
Just because I like a smaller more compact spotting scope. The field of view doesn’t bother me much, it’s why I carry 10x42 binos and not 10x50s.
How do I know where the product bought from?
Excited to watch y’all’s hunt
Thanks dude!
Redundant review. A video showing you guys looking throug the scope, but no recording of what you actually see in the scope. There are camera adapters for that model.
thanks buddy!
@@UnGuidedOutdoors lmaoooo thanks. buddy
Where can we find the neoprene cover your using on them? Is there a product name or sku?
Our came with the spotter, you may have want to call vortex and ask them.
What's the farthest you can use on both spotting scopes...is it normal to see heat waves when using a spotting scope...
When we was testing them we never ranged to see how far. I have always noticed heat waves when looking out across far distances.
@@UnGuidedOutdoors
Thanks for the reply...looking to purchase the 85...👍
In your opinion, can you use the 65 at the range at 300-400 yards?
yes
Oh yeah no problem.
The Cabela's Intensity HD spotting scope is clearer than this and does not have as much color separation... The Vortex throws off violet hues bad !!! I just drove 300 miles to buy a spotter - Ended up driving home empty-handed...... The Bushnell trophy Xtreme was comparable.
What tripods are you boys running?
One was a manfrotto I can’t remember what the other was.
Would the 16-48x65 be a good choice on a Colorado Elk hunt? Thanks in advance
Yeah it’s for sure the lighter and more compact of the two. If I was to only have one it would be the 65.
Thank you
Anytime! Thanks for watching.
I got the 65 seems good no problem seeing holes at 500yds in crapping low light
Raymond Rivera I would take the biggest Objective lense I could get, at least 80 or 85. Gathers more light. If you are hunting in steep country in the fall, there is rarely full sun coverage. Gathering more light with a bigger objective lense is a huge benefit when glassing shade in deep canyons, and in my opinion, the extra weight is worth the extra light gathering.
what kinda tripods you boys using
I am pretty sure this was a manfrotto
You could have filmed through the lens you know...
It’s been a year, what are you guys running now?
Still have this spotting scope and we have a older leupold that we use.
@@UnGuidedOutdoors thanks for the reply. I read through the comments and ordered mine today. Just in time for deer season. Thank you.
It’s not the “top tier” glass but for the money they are second to none. My old leupold smokes it but it also cost 1k more lol.
@@UnGuidedOutdoors yeah I was expecting that, I typed “ budget spotting scope” in to the search bar. I’m going on my 2nd hunt ever this year and I’d like to use this optic for that and also 400 to 500 yards at the range.
Should be in good shape for that.
Big price increase since this and more to come in 22 for sure! Better get em while you can!
A substantial increase & they're not that good.... The Razor sure,,,, but anything under $600 - might as well buy the Cabela's or Bushnell.... The Leopold under $600 we're worse . . . . Color separation & hazy outer edge were very apparent
How could change positions of scope and immediately find animal 100’s of yards away, come on now
$400 ain't budget lol
For a spotting scope it sure is. This is super cheap compared to a majority of spotters on the market.
@@Mitch.Engel84 well f*ck me, I guess I'm poor.
400 is cheap. A lot that are good quality are at least $1,000+
@@tyquanwashington.8510yea spotting scopes with good glass go up to 8-10,000
So a pretty much useless video for us to watch due to no filming through glass….
What tripods are you using?
I think this was a manfrotto tripod
