[QUOTE="Iowaboy, post: 330644, member: 16343"] tbeasley- I'm guessing you got two bad scopes from the sounds of it. I have two 4-12x40 Diamondbacks and my Dad has a 3-9X40 DB. I also have a 5.5-20x50 Viper and a set of DB 10x42 Binos. I also have a Nomad spotter (I bought used for cheap). My DB binos are awsome for under 200 bucks I have yet to find a bino clearer or brighter for the same money. I've compared the binos side by side with swaro scl and yeah the swaro is alot brighter but the clarity is not that much more if its bright enough. I have compared the DB rifle scopes side by side to VX-1 leupolds and the vortex was just as clear and I thought brighter in low light. Now the Viper I have is plenty clear, it does give a little bit of the fish bowl thing when you move closer or further in your eye relief, but if your steady you don't notice. I have compared it against my 5-22x50 NXS and its not that far off for 1/3rd the price in clarity. It does loose in the brightness field but hey it is what it is. I've got the Viper on a all stock model 12 savage 223 so the old saying spend as much on the scope as you did the gun is about even. And I've got the NF on a custom model 116 7mm savage that I have a little over 1200 in so the NF was a little more than the gun but I'm close! [/QUOTE]
