Vortex Diamondback 4-12x40 SFP Dead-Hold BDC Riflescope VTDBK04DBC

The world is still and silent in the pre-dawn light. You’ve waited patiently, enduring the cold, for this single moment. Across the field, your quarry appears, moving just beyond the range where comfort and confidence often fade. The light is thin, your breath hangs in the air, and this is the instant when your preparation is tested. In that fragile balance between chance and certainty, the gear you choose makes all the difference. This is the moment built for the Vortex Diamondback 4-12x40 SFP Dead-Hold BDC Riflescope.

Born from Vortex’s reputation for relentless performance, the Diamondback is more than a scope—it’s a trusted hunting partner. Every feature is designed to provide clarity, reliability, and precision when the stakes are high. Whether you’re perched in a stand watching hardwood ridges or glassing wide-open plains, the Diamondback brings your target closer with unmatched consistency. Its simple design masks an impressive level of engineering, giving hunters the confidence to take the difficult shot when opportunity presents itself.

The Diamondback’s optical performance is a standout in its class. The XD Optical System delivers razor-sharp resolution with true-to-life color, reducing chromatic aberration and ensuring your view remains crisp edge to edge. Fully multi-coated lenses maximize light transmission, offering exceptional brightness from dawn until dusk. With the Second Focal Plane reticle, you’ll have a consistent view regardless of magnification, with accurate subtensions at the highest zoom level. A fast-focus eyepiece rounds out the package, letting you lock onto your reticle quickly and stay locked on target.

Durability is another hallmark of this scope. Built from aircraft-grade aluminum, the single-piece tube is both lightweight and rugged, capable of withstanding hard use and heavy recoil. Waterproof and fogproof protection from argon purging and O-ring seals ensures that no matter the weather, your scope remains dependable. Shockproof construction means it holds zero even after repeated punishment, while a hard anodized matte finish resists scratches and glare. Capped reset turrets add both convenience and protection, allowing for quick adjustments with peace of mind in the field.

The Dead-Hold BDC reticle sets this scope apart for hunters who need precision at varied distances. Its intuitive design eliminates guesswork on holdover and windage, giving you the confidence to make ethical, accurate shots at range. From whitetails slipping through timber to mule deer across a windswept draw, the Dead-Hold BDC reticle provides an edge when it matters most.

At just 14.2 ounces and 12 inches in length, the Diamondback balances easily on your rifle without adding unnecessary weight. With 4-12x magnification, a 40mm objective lens, and a 32.4–11.3 ft field of view at 100 yards, it hits the sweet spot for versatility across hunting environments. Backed by the Vortex VIP Warranty, this scope is built for a lifetime of hunts, no matter the conditions.
