Vortex Diamondback HD 16-48x65 Angled Spotting Scope Waterproof DS-65A

The last rays of the sun bleed across the horizon, painting the ridgeline in shades of orange and purple. You’ve been glassing for hours, patience thinning, when a flicker of movement catches your eye a thousand yards out. Is it a swaying branch in the wind, or the tine of the buck you’ve tracked all season? In that moment, between fading light and deepening shadow, clarity is everything. This is where the Vortex Diamondback HD 16-48x65 Angled Spotting Scope proves its worth. Built to transform uncertainty into certainty, it gives hunters, shooters, and wildlife enthusiasts the power to see with precision when it matters most.

The Diamondback HD is engineered for rugged performance and redesigned for streamlined handling. Its HD optical system delivers edge-to-edge sharpness, superb resolution, and enhanced color fidelity. Select glass elements optimize light transmission, revealing fine details in challenging conditions when other optics fall short. Fully multi-coated lenses amplify brightness, while ArmorTek coating defends against scratches, oil, and dirt. With this scope, low light doesn’t signal the end of your day—it simply becomes another opportunity.

Durability meets function in every detail of the Diamondback HD. Its angled body design promotes stability and comfort during long glassing sessions, while the smooth helical focus system provides fast yet precise adjustments. Argon purging and O-ring sealing ensure waterproof and fogproof reliability, no matter how extreme the weather. Rubber armor adds impact protection and grip, while a built-in sunshade reduces glare and shields the lens from rain or snow. Every element is designed to withstand the grind of the hunt.

Ease of use is equally impressive. The rotating tripod ring allows flexible viewing positions, while the adjustable eyecup ensures comfort with or without glasses. Its Arca-Swiss compatible foot mounts directly to tripod heads, eliminating the need for extra plates, and a standard 1/4-20 thread offers additional mounting versatility. From the field to the range, this spotting scope adapts seamlessly to your needs.

With magnification from 16-48x and a 65mm objective lens, the Diamondback HD brings distant details into sharp relief. Hunters will spot tines hidden in cover, birders will identify subtle plumage with precision, and shooters will track impacts with ease. At just 14.3 inches long and weighing under 50 ounces, it’s compact enough to carry without compromise, yet powerful enough to deliver high-definition performance across diverse terrain.

Every Diamondback HD comes with a neoprene case, tethered lens covers, lens cloth, and the legendary Vortex VIP Warranty—an unlimited, unconditional, and fully transferable lifetime promise.
