Just bought one of these earlier today. I didn't realize until I bought it that it has the 1/4x20 thread port which is excellent for longer ranging, and the 7x magnification makes it useful as a short-range spotting scope, say when zeroing a firearm out to 25y or possibly even 50y depending on lighting and conditions. I'm not a long range shooter so for me the Diamondback HD2000 hit the sweetspot of Vortex quality and features at a reasonable cost.
