Low-impact scouting for whitetails in highly pressured hunting areas means you’re often utilizing optics at long distances at the edges of daylight, peering into the shadows of field corners, clearcuts and low-lying areas. You might only catch the flick of a tail or the tip of tine at first, but it’ll be just the confirmation you need to pick out the deer you’re after and draw out a successful game plan. 

Those types of conditions are exactly what the new Vortex Diamondback HD spotting scopes were built for. Key to the design is the HD optical system that is optimized with select glass elements to deliver exceptional resolution, cut chromatic aberration and provide outstanding color fidelity, edge-to-edge sharpness and light transmission. Plus, multiple anti-reflective coatings on all of their air-to-glass surfaces increase light transmission even more, in addition to larger objective lenses than previous models. Add these features all together and it creates an impressive amount of clarity, brightness and field of view at all times of daylight.

The Diamondback HD spotters have a new streamlined, snag-free ArmorTek exterior that is shockproof, scratch-resistant and rubberized for a confident grip. Argon gas purging and O-ring seals ensure that the scopes stay waterproof and fogproof through the nastiest weather a deer hunter can handle. 

A few other features that the minds at Vortex integrated include adjustable eyecups, a built-in sunshade, fast helical focus and multiple tripod mounting options, not to mention a neoprene cover and tethered lens caps thrown in for good measure. Two magnification variations are available to fit a variety of spotter preferences, with a choice of angled or straight styles in both: 16-48×65 and 20-60×85. And with a price range of $499 to $599, you won’t have to skip a mortgage payment to afford one.
