Thoughts on Vortex Diamondback 20-60x80 spotting scope
I was wondering if anyone has used or owned this spotting scope. I would like to get some thoughts on it as well as the possibility for digiscoping with a dslr camera. Also, do you prefer straight or angled and why?

Angled can be easier on the body for long glassing sessions due the better ergonomic setups that can be achieved, and would be my choice. That said, some prefer the straight types since they may be easier to transition from a high power view in the spotting scope to a different setting on your riflescope and not completely lose your target. |
I've looked through them and was not impressed. It will get you buy but they are not great. I felt my 20 year old Baush and Lomb elite spotter was better glass to look through. If you can afford it, spend a bit more and move up to a higher quality would be my honest advice. Perhaps keep your eyes peeled for a used one.

sounds heavy..... i would buy a X65 instead, but thats just me. I've turned into a weight loss freak in my pack of the last few hunts.

I recommend that you stay away from the cheaper vortex optics lines.
