DIAMONDBACK 20-60X85 SPOTTING SCOPE

The new Diamondback HD 20-60x85mm angled spotting scope has been completely redesigned to take on the "family look" of the Viper HD and Razor HD 'scopes and optically upgraded to feature HD glass and a bigger objective lens for improved clarity and brightness of the image. A helical/barrel focus wheel allows for a sleeker design and a more rugged construction and new 20-60x zoom eyepiece gives a notable increase of up to 20% field of view. 

The new rugged aluminium chassis has all-over full-body protective rubber armouring and the scope has Argon gas purging to prevent internal fogging and are fully waterproof. The external lenses have Armortek hardened coatings and features a built-in sunshade and rotating tripod mount. 

All of the new Diamondback HD scopes come complete with protective eyepiece and objective lens covers, a Neoprene Stay-on-Scope case and are of course covered by the Vortex Unlimited Lifetime Warranty when purchased from a Vortex UK authorised dealer. 

OPTICAL FEATURES

  • HD Optics: Optimized optical system delivers impressive resolution, reduces chromatic aberration and provides excellent colour fidelity, edge-to-edge sharpness and light transmission. 
  • XR Lens Coatings: Vortex proprietary coatings increase light transmission with multiple anti-reflective coatings on all air-to-glass surfaces. 
  • Dielectric Prism Coatings: Multi-layer prism coatings provide bright, clear, colour-accurate images. 
  • ArmorTek: Exterior lenses are protected by ArmorTek — an ultrahard, scratch-resistant compound that repels oil, dirt and the corrosive salts of fingerprints. 

CONSTRUCTION FEATURES

  • Porro Prism: Offers maximum image quality and performance in a traditional design. 
  • Angled Body Design: Enables a lower mounting height for greater stability in wind and provides greater comfort when viewing for extended periods. Also permits use of a smaller, lighter tripod. 
  • Waterproof: Optics are sealed with O-rings to prevent moisture, dust, and debris from getting inside the spotting scope. 
  • Fogproof: Nitrogen gas purging delivers fogproof and waterproof performance. 
  • Rubber Armour: The all-over rubber armouring protects the exterior of your scope. 

CONVENIENCE FEATURES

  • Adjustable Eyecup: Twists up and down to provide comfortable viewing with or without spectacles.
  • Sunshade: Reduces glare and shields the objective lens from raindrops and snow.
  • Rotating Tripod Ring: Allows rotation of the eyepiece to a sideways position—most useful for viewing through an angled spotting scope body on a car window mount.
