Budget Glass That Surprised Me – Vortex Diamondback Tactical Review

[The Hobby Gunsmith]

Hey everyone,

I just dropped a full review on the Vortex Diamondback Tactical 6-24x50 FFP over on my YouTube channel The Hobby Gunsmith. I break down the features, clarity, reticle, and my overall impressions.

If you’ve been considering a solid scope around the $400 mark, this one might surprise you like it did me.

Would love to hear your thoughts or if you've run this optic yourself!

Stay sharp,
– The Hobby Gunsmith

I've had one for about one year and it is excellent. Very clear glass for this price point!

Cant beat it for the features at its price point.

I bought an Arken 6-24 for my varmint 22-250 and was not as impressed as everyone else. My son bought me a vortex tactical 6-24. The Arken is on a rimfire now.

I have the DBK - 10019, 4-16x42.
Well 6 of them on rifles.
To me for the money you can't beat them.
Have never had a issue with any of them.
I like Vortex Diamondback line.
I have 6-24x50 in the HS. Line

I have them on my air rifle and Anschutz .22 and have been pleased - one of the few affordable scopes that will focus down to 10m.

Yea for me they are the best bang for your buck.

They are set up right and just like you mentioned affordable.

I have the 4-16x42 on a budget hunting build (for whitetail 200 yards or less) and have been very pleased. For the money it's hard to beat. Better than the Leupold VX3i that I previously had for the same purpose.

Yes, it is a great value for the money.

I compared it to the Vortex PSTII at the 600 yd range.

IMO the only difference was it does not have a lit reticle and is a lot cheaper in $$$.
