For a sub 300$ scope I’m thoroughly impressed with the quality of the scope. It’s uncommon to find a scope with finger adjustable turrets at this price point. All adjustments warrant an audible click. The glass clarity is extremely high quality. I purchased two of these scopes and have been extremely happy with them.

Good scope for a decent price.I was looking for a deer hunting scope for my new Tikka T3X hunter in .308 . This scope seems like the perfect fit. I chose the vortex Diamondback 3-9-40 it has a ton of great reviews. I am looking forward to hunting with it this fall

I have the 3x9x40mm on my CZ 457 and it’s a perfect pair! I’ve not been this pleased with a purchase in a long time. With great eye relief and the glass is so clear that it’s refreshing to your eyes. This scope even has distinctive tactile turret adjustments! I’m in love with my rifle now! Critters beware..

Before ordering the Vortex Diamond Back 4-12×40 I ordered a Nikon Pro Staff 4-12×40. I was not happy with the Nikon due to a very small field of view as well as a much greater length and added weight. While researching the scopes in my price range(Retired now and can't afford Leupold VXII's and VXIII's) the Vortex Diamond Back 4-12×40 appeared to have a much larger field of view than the Nikon while being a couple inches shorter and lighter. It was about the same price and has great reviews. I kept the Nikon and ordered the Vortex for comparison. The Vortex is superior in every way in a side by side comparison. Zeroed the rifle with the Vortex today(Jan20,2015) and while I had it on the sand bags I compared it to the Nikon, a Leupold VXII 3-9×40 and a Leupold VXIII 3.5-10×50. The Nikon is not bad in clarity and brightness but the larger field of view with the Vortex makes it seem much brighter and sharper. The Vortex is much clearer and brighter than the Leupold VXII(an older scope) and the equal of the VXIII. Again, these results were logged while looking through each scope side by side. Some reviewers have said they had a problem with eye relief and while the listed eye relief is slightly less than a Leupold I noticed no significant difference while comparing to my Leupolds that are already in service. This was shooting off the bench where this is most noticed. One review said the Vortex would require extended rings in order to work on long action rifles. I mounted my Vortex on a Ruger M77 MK I in 25.06 caliber which is a 30.06 length long action rifle with no problems. I have room to spare between the front ring and the bell of the scope by about 1/4 -5/16". The fast focus eyepiece works great and is easy and quick to focus. I was able to achieve perfectly sharp crosshair focus as well as sharp focus on the target itself at a hundred yards. Some lower end scopes will not give sharp focus of both the crosshairs and the target forcing you to choose one or the other. Overall this scope is unbelievable in its optical clarity, sharpness and brightness. Not sure how Vortex can produce a scope this good for less than two hundred dollars. I have never owned a Vortex product before so I can't comment on durability but unless I win the lottery this will be my first choice going forward. With this scope you don't just get what you pay for, you get a lot more!

After 44 years of using Leopold scopes. I did not like the new FX Freedom scopes ! So I tried the Vortex Diamond 3-9×40 . It is really a nice scope I have 3 of them now. Will buy again ! Hope they hold up ? only time will tell . But right now I am very happy with them.
