Vortex Diamondback HD 20-60x85 Angled Spotting Scope Waterproof DS85A

The first light of morning is a test of patience. The basin stretches for miles, a canvas of shadows and faint color where possibility hides. You steady yourself, glassing the timberline. A flicker catches your eye—small, distant, almost imperceptible. Through the lens, it sharpens into certainty: the sweep of an antler, the shape you’ve waited for. In that instant, hesitation falls away, and clarity becomes your advantage. That moment is the reason the Vortex Diamondback HD 20-60x85 Angled Spotting Scope exists. It’s not just an optic; it’s the tool that turns chance into opportunity.

The redesigned Diamondback HD delivers remarkable performance in a rugged, field-ready package. Its HD Optical System uses premium glass elements to cut chromatic aberration and bring edge-to-edge sharpness with true-to-life color. Fully multi-coated lenses maximize light transmission, giving you crisp, bright images even in low light—the time of day when big game often moves. Every detail, from a distant tine to a flicking tail, becomes unmistakably clear.

This spotting scope isn’t just about what you see—it’s about how it’s built. The ArmorTek lens coating shields glass from scratches, oil, and dirt, while full rubber armor gives you a secure grip and reliable protection against bumps in the backcountry. With argon gas purging and O-ring seals, it stands up to rain, snow, and fog without hesitation. The scope’s shockproof construction ensures it’s as tough as the terrain you hunt.

Practical design sets the Diamondback HD apart. Its streamlined helical focus makes fine adjustments smooth and fast while staying snag-free in your pack. The adjustable eyecup provides comfort whether you wear glasses or not, while the tripod mount collar allows for quick angle changes. The Arca-Swiss compatible foot gives you easy, direct mounting to standard tripod heads, making setup seamless.

With 20-60x magnification and an 85mm objective lens, you’ll cover wide basins or zoom in tight to evaluate every detail. A close focus distance of 24.6 feet means it’s just as capable at shorter ranges. Measuring 16 inches long and weighing 60.9 ounces, it balances size and power for backcountry hunts or long-range range days.

Every Diamondback HD comes with the assurance of Vortex’s VIP Warranty. It’s unlimited, unconditional, and fully transferable, meaning your investment is protected for life. You’ll never need to worry about damage, defects, or paperwork.

This scope is built for serious hunters, dedicated shooters, and wildlife observers who demand performance without compromise. Whether glassing ridgelines for elk, spotting hits at the range, or scanning for movement in the timber, the Diamondback HD 20-60x85 Angled Spotting Scope gives you the vision to stay one step ahead.
