[QUOTE="Of001, post: 2516435, member: 116075"] For that price it's hard to go wrong, there are a few options with better glass but not with the warranty too. I'm happy enough with my diamondback. But make sure to get a new one, I've been told newer production (5yr) has slightly more durable coatings. Sorry I'm going to concur and say I outgrew 3-9x40 quickly and found almost any other size hits my needs for every rifle I own. Regardless of brand or price range. Take a look at a 3.5-10ish for that range. I think the diamondback comes in this with a 50mm objective that will be good for the low light of the woods and if it moves out into the open (different rifle, area, whatever) it would suit nicely. Or conversely a 2-7x32 for the quick draw situations. My friend has one (not a vortex) and the eye box is very forgiving compared to his 3x9x40 same brand. But will reduce your low light usage. But if the warranty isn't a concern look for a used nikon, they are cheap and glass is fantastic. I don't know anyone who has had an issue and tons of people around here have them. Likewise vintage tasco (super fine reticle, and quality for cheap) and I won't trade mine for anything, even though they are 3-9s lol [/QUOTE]
