Vortex Optics Diamondback Tactical 6-24×50 FFP Riflescope
If you are a fan of long-distance shooting, you may be interested in the Vortex Optics Diamondback Tactical 6-24×50 FFP Riflescope. This scope has some features that make it stand out among others in its price and quality range. Let’s look at some of them.
The Vortex Optics Diamondback Tactical 6-24×50 FFP Riflescope has a 30 mm diameter tube, made of aircraft grade aluminum, which gives it great strength and durability. The tube is sealed with O-rings and filled with nitrogen, making it waterproof and anti-fog. The finish is hard anodized, matte black, which prevents reflections and protects the visor from scratches and bumps.
The scope has a 4x optical system, ranging from 6x to 24x, allowing it to adapt to different distances and light conditions. The lenses are fully multi-coated, which improves light transmission and contrast. In addition, the lenses have HD (High Density) elements with XD (Extra-low Dispersion) glass, which reduce chromatic aberrations and increase sharpness and color fidelity. The scope has a 50mm objective diameter, which gathers a lot of light and offers a wide field of view, ranging from 18 to 4.5 feet per 100 yards.
EBR-2C MOA Reticle Designed to maximize long-distance shooting and ranging abilities, the EBR-2C MOA reticle can be used to effectively determine ranges, holdovers, windage corrections and moving target leads. The ultra-precise laser-etched glass reticle ensures the MOA specifications are kept to the tightest tolerances possible. The fine center crosshair subtensions on the EBR-2C MOA reticle were carefully chosen to provide the optimum balance of precision aiming and low light visibility. First focal plane (FFP) reticles are located near the windage and elevation turrets in front of the image-erecting and magnifying lenses. This style of reticle will visually grow and shrink as you change the magnification. The main advantage of a first focal plane reticle is that the reticle subtensions used for ranging, holdover, and wind drift correction are consistent at all magnifications.
The scope has an EBR-2C (Enhanced Battle Reticle) reticle, which is located in the first focal plane (FFP). This means that the size of the reticle is adjusted as the zoom increases or decreases, maintaining proportions with the objective. The EBR-2C reticle has a crosshair shape with Christmas tree-shaped markings, which help compensate for bullet drop and windage. The reticle is available in two units: MOA (Minute of Angle) or MRAD (Mil Radian). The scope has exposed tactical turrets, allowing elevation and windage to be adjusted with ease and precision. Each click is equivalent to 1/4 MOA or 0.1 MRAD, depending on the model. Each turret has a travel per rotation of 15 MOA or 5 MRAD, and a maximum travel of 65 MOA or 19 MRAD. The scope also has a lateral parallax adjustment, which goes from 10 yards to infinity.
The Vortex Optics Diamondback Tactical 6-24×50 FFP Riflescope is an ideal scope for shooters looking for superior optical and mechanical performance, without sacrificing reliability and robustness. Additionally, the scope has a lifetime warranty from Vortex Optics, which covers any defects or issues that may arise, regardless of the cause. The price of the scope is $599.99 USD, which makes it very competitive in the market.
