VIP Warranty XR Coatings ArmorTek Argon Purged Waterproof

Product Description

The brand new Diamondback HD 16-48x65 angled spotting scope has been completely redesigned both optically and aesthetically and has now joined both the Viper HD and Razor HD 'scope ranges in featuring a barrel/helical focus wheel enabling a much sleeker and more robust design.

It has been upgraded optically and now features HD glass and a larger objective lens for improved clarity and brightness of the image and the new 16-48x zoom eyepiece gives a notable increase of up to 30% field of view.

The new aluminium chassis has all-over full-body protective rubber armouring and the scope is Argon gas purged to prevent internal fogging and is fully waterproof. The external lenses have Armortek hardened coatings and it features a built-in sunshade and rotating tripod mount.

Accessories: The Diamondback HD 16-48x65mm angled scope comes complete with protective eyepiece and objective lens covers, a Neoprene Stay-on-Scope case and of course is covered by the Vortex Unlimited Lifetime Warranty.

All stock items are official UK imports. Any warranty issues will be handled in the UK by the UK Importer.

Optical Features:

HD Lens Elements - Optimized optical system delivers impressive resolution, cuts chromatic aberration and provides excellent colour fidelity, edge-to-edge sharpness and light transmission - resulting in High Definition views.

XR Lens Coatings - Vortex proprietary XR anti-reflective coatings, fully multi-coated on all air-to-glass lens surfaces, increase light transmission for maximum brightness.

Dielectric Prism Coatings - Multi-layer prism coatings provide bright, clear, colour-accurate images.

Construction Features:

Porro Prism - Offers maximum image quality and performance in a traditional design.

Angled Body Design - Valued for allowing an overall lower mounting height which maximizes stability in wind, offers greater comfort when viewing for extended periods, and permits the use of a smaller tripod.

Waterproof - Optics are sealed with O-rings to prevent moisture, dust, and debris from getting inside the spotting scope.

Fogproof - Argon gas purging guarantees superior fogproof and waterproof performance.

ArmorTek - Exterior lenses are protected by ArmorTek — an ultrahard, scratch-resistant compound that repels oil, dirt and the corrosive salts of fingerprints.

Convenience Features:

Twist Eyecup - Twists up and down for comfortable viewing with or without spectacles.

Helical / Barrel Focus - New Dual geared focus system allows for fast yet precise adjustments.

Sunshade - Reduces glare and shields the objective lens from raindrops and snow.

Rotating Tripod Ring - Allows rotation of the eyepiece to a sideways position - most useful for viewing through an angled spotting scope body on a car window mount.
