Review: Good glass quality - This spotting scope has done me well. Good clarity and wide range of view. Easy focus adjustment and goes great with a tripod for stability
Review: Just Oustanding !!! - Let me tell you something here : I am not optics expert here. I am your average Joe who always had middle of the road binoculars (like Nikon Monarch 7, three of them in different configurations). I am not expert, bur guess what : I have eyes !!!! i ALSO HAVE A GOOD VISION. And I know what to look for. I got me this Vortex Diamonback HD 20-60X85 and I am pleasantly surprised what a great quality optics this is. First of all it's super clear. It is shoulder to shoulder with my Nikon Monarch 7 witch has ED glass. View is very clear with plenty of light even on the cloudy day. I have NO distortion whatsoever even at the high end Zoom. The build quality of this thing is phenomenal. It's built like a tank. Please don't listen to these optics snobs here that are picky about this scope. They clearly have no clue what they are talking about. How come ? Very simple : You DO NOT compare Honda with Mercedes S Class, do you ? And this is what every one of them does. This scope is a Honda. It will get you there, it will last long time, and it will give you good service. Mercedes will do that too, and more, but at what price ? If you are on the fence, go for it and don't look back.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great mid priced optic
*by O***T on December 23, 2025*

Quick delivery, great quality glass for a mid priced optic! Will use mainly for sighting in rifles at 200-300 yds and spotting animals at up to 1 mile, (will work well for both). At my age thats about as far as I can walk any more, lol. Can’t beat the Vortex warranty
