I have this scope on my AR-10 DMR. Mine is 1st FP and the thing I found I don't like is at lower magnification the reticle is way too small. Man I gotta thank you. You have caused me to bust a gut so many times over the years I've been watching your channel. I'm guessing that much laughter has worked to extend my life some. Thanks Joe!
Got the same on my 10,i dont mind the ret at 6. For what it is,my only gripe is the lil bit of play between the clicks on the turrets,i checked all the other diamondback offerings at the shop,even the same models and other models for the diamondback tactical series and it seems that was the case w them all - turns out the turrets have held good for me,im not disappointed w the optic
Gotta say, I love your videos. Funny as hell, but very informative. Just went to the range today to sight in my Blackhound Genesis 6-24x50 FFP scope that I bought after watching your video on the Blackhound line. Loved it! Was only able to shoot at 25 rds with my Ruger RPR, but was able to cover a 10 rd group with a dime using both Wolf target match and Norma Tac22. Very clear glass and easy to sight in. Keep up the good work on your awesome videos, sir. May have to look into the Vortex as well.
.. I've had this scope for over a year now on a .223 bolt and have shot from 100 to 1000 yards without any cantelever in the rail. It need all the elevation and 24 MoA to get on bull @1000 but being FFP, it worked perfectly! Great review btw!
Great vid as always Joe! If I’m having a bad day and a new video drops it always put a smile on my face and makes me laugh. I appreciate your honest opinion on optics and the humor you add. Thanks man! Keep on keepin on.
Have couple of Diamondback tactical that have been nothing but excellent. Can’t say the same about some of the other Vortex products. Really enjoy the honest reviews.
I am not a big vortex fan either but I do have that same scope on my cz and it is really nice for the price which was on sale in the $300 range when I bought it. The only think I would recommend is that you pay attention to the ring torque. Even a little too much will cause the parallax not to move correctly. If you find your scope isn't focusing.. you might have too much torque on the rings. I had set mine to 18-20... I guess they are supposed to be 16ish...
I've had that drama as well. Not totally butchered but instead of thinking something is wrong when the para stiffened up and stopping I gave it a solid twist and its never quite been the same since.
I can't watch a review without laughing! And that's something we can all use a little more of these days! You're the most entertaining gun/scope channel on YT.
I've swapped out all my broke ass budget scopes to these. Nothing can beat it at this price point. Great thing is that lots of people have these and want to upgrade. So people can pick these up cheap used. Nice group by the way. Good luck with your relationship with opticsforce.
Another kick ass video! It shows that you are not just hatin' on the Vortex fan boys but legitimizing the fact when you say "I'm not hating on Vortex, but some of their stuff isn't that good for the money" Thanks Joe keep up the good work.
I use your scope testing techniques when I check out Zco and TT scopes. I must be a valued customer, they put up my picture with the letters RTRS, thanks Joe
Could you please tell me. How do you return clicks exactly at the same place, after you rotate it? It has no zero stop, so I wonder how you return it to zero, without counting any clicks?
I have two of the Diamondback Tactical 6-24X50 scopes and they have done well. I agree, the only down side is no revolution counter or zero stop and that is a result of the price point, to be sure. I know at least one person who competed at events with this model scope. But it might be better suited as a hunting scope that you can estimate range with if your rangerfinder goes down or, in your haste to get some venison, you forgot to buy new batteries. Point being, at most distances, you may dial as much as 5 MOA and keep it there instead of having to dial different ranges while not looking at it.
I use the 4-16 version. After 2 years on 2 .22LR rifles, zero complaints. My brother has the MRAD and says the reticle doesn’t jive with the turrets. I don’t know about that since mine is MOA and seems right on it or pretty damn close. Thanks brother.
Been using the scoope for over a year and it has worked more then fine until recently when i noticed problem to get it focused. One shoot and it looked like à LOT of mirage. NeXT shoot the mirage feeling dissapered. The problem Was a loose lens that is now tumbling around in the tube. Time to check their Vip warranty👍 Peter
Yo, Mr. Rhea! As usual that was funny as hell, and informative as well. Your Anschutz gives that Rimex you got a real run for the money. Great content, great shooting keep it up. Thanks.
OOOOh Optics Force another place to go. Let me start looking there for bipods. Was I the only one to duck when Joe started swinging that bag around? Man I am still drooling over that Anschutz.
Sent my broken Vortex in for repairs, they told me nothing was wrong with it. But somehow the windage turret clicks again & moves the crosshair. I mounted it, went to sight it in & the damn thing broke again the exact same way, no clicks & no crosshair, movement. Turret just spins. I will NEVER buy another. I have owned somewhere between 50 & 100 scopes, most costing much less, & the Vortex is the only one I have ever had break. I am officially done. Oh by the way, nice shooting. Love the Anschutz !
I can say if a 4x12x40 Vortex tactical scope on a 30-06 I always practice with the adjustment and running 🏃♀️ over 1000 rounds in my rifle!!! I can say that they make a good scope I practice with out shooting it to save $ every day I get home 🏠 I get it out and practice with it for hours!
You treated that scope like a redheaded step child and it held up. Stay away from their mid range stuff I gotcha. The cat scream when you shoot a fouler is my favorite.
You’re too damn funny. I’ve watched you off and on for a while and just realized I wasn’t subscribed. My apologies. I’m subscribed now. Love your content. 👍
First video on your channel that I have seen, and I liked it. It's funny but definitely informative. I just picked up this same Vortex, and I am waiting on a CZ 457 Varmint to arrive to put it on. I ordered an area 419 30 moa rail to attach the scope to. I just need a set of rings. I stopped by while scrolling TH-cam suggestions. You know how TH-cam is. You got to weed through the bad to get to the good. Anyway, that was a very nice sub moa group. I think I will have to check out more videos on your channel and give it a Subscribe.
I purchased this scope for 600.00 cdn plus 15% sales tax so it ain’t cheap.If you are shooting long range and require turret revolutions this is not the scope for you no zero stops.
What I really would appreciate from scope reviews is some sort of consistency. In ur best 6-25x scopes under $500 video you said that the Diamondback was such trash, that you wouldn't even include it in the comparison. So which one is it? Is the Diamondback trash for the price, or isn't it?
I would like to see how this compare to blackhound and arken also element scopes for the same price range since this one works like a tracking back to back video. Also which one has better glass. It would be interesting to see.
Thats some good shooting there Joe , any rifle and scope combo is only as good as the finger on the trigger , so You can take your share of the Kudos regarding the grouping . Are You going to do anymore Air Rifle episodes ? It would be interesting to see You do a comparison between Your most accurate Air Rifle & the Anschutz . Thanks Joe catch You next episode , Shoot Straight Stay Safe & Stay Well.
I have that exact scope on my .22 bolt gun and I really do like. They almost didn't get my business because I wasted my hard earned money on a &*() strike eagle scope. Aweful POS! Don't ever buy one of those! I don't have much time behind it yet but I did get an Arken SH4 gen 2 with the value pack. I like that scope!
First thing ur a bad ass dude man I just bought a umarex gauntlet 2 25 cal. Please sir can u tell me what scope set up the whole thing I need to buy I got around 400 bucks budget to spend my honest friend a while back I had a break over rile u told to get a scope it think it was utg can u help me please because I know u know what I need from 10yards to at least 150 please help me
Problem with vortex is quality control. U can get a good one but it may take u 4 to get there. That's why I won't buy them anymore. I sent one in because it wouldn't hold zero , and they sent one back with the croshairs sideways.
I feel like Vortex took this man’s eye….JK I’m definitely not a Cyclops hater but I feel like he definitely hates Vortex. I have three of them and shoot to 1000 all the time. And my viper to a mile. For the price I’ve had one problem with a cheap copperhead scope Vortex sent me a new one. I watch all your videos just wanted to share my experience with Vortex.
@@CyclopsJoeVideos I’m trying to find one for 500$ or less,which model would you suggest.Im going to try to harvest a buck at 400 to 500 yds. max,just for hunting.

Joe praising Vortex - now I've heard everything. Thanks for tipping us on Optics Force.
Pimp slapping the scope is gold

That was the funniest scope review I've ever watched. Enjoyed the commentary. The review was excellent as well. Enjoy how you slapped it around.

I've gotta say I never thought I would have seen you praise a Vortex. I guess anything's possible. Great review Joe.
Great vid as always Joe! If I’m having a bad day and a new video drops it always put a smile on my face and makes me laugh. I appreciate your honest opinion on optics and the humor you add. Thanks man! Keep on keepin on.
Optics force is a great store, got a great price on my last scope, they are now my go to shop for all my scopes.
Surprise surprise Joe thought I would never see another Vortex scope on the channel. Thanks for the video and information.

Agreed. This guy cracks me up!
Your videos reviews are the best Joe!
Just got hit by a typhoon out here on Guam...your review was a welcomed laugh amdist the crap while I try to recover with my family.
Great site to check out! Just ordered a new set of Vortex rings from Optics Force and yep, I got the "Cyclops" discount alright! Thanks Joe!
Very cool!
Did you receive your order
I've never enjoyed watching a torture test this much! This guy is pure comedy, so much so that I forgot it was a torture test
Waiting since last 24 hours. Great to watch.
You giving the scope a beat down was hilarious🤣

Vortex came through with a win. Great video and beautiful rifle.
Joe steadily approaching that 100,000 subscriber Mark, Bravo Zulu Sir Bravo Zulu.

What would be interesting to see is who actually makes the lens for the various brands ?
I purchased this scope for 600.00 cdn plus 15% sales tax so it ain’t cheap.If you are shooting long range and require turret revolutions this is not the scope for you no zero stops.
Got to admit, that was pretty entertaining. Clicking the link for a look 😂
Thanks
LOL....DUDE... Classic I am not apologize for that S****... Keep it going Joe....
I love the names you call the scopes as you’re bitch slapping them.
Iam always watching Your Video from here Malaysia , love all Your video Sir
Thank you
Wish I never sold mine, good value performing scope 😊

I LOVE it when you talk dirty ! But the slapping on the back end just sends me over the edge! ! !
OH MAN! I can t wait to see Ol Cyclops whip the shit out this scope!!! You know you can’t let Cyclops take you’r mom on a date.
Dang that’s one ragged hole. Nice! That Vortex held up…. just to piss you off too 😂.
I would like to see how this compare to blackhound and arken also element scopes for the same price range since this one works like a tracking back to back video. Also which one has better glass. It would be interesting to see.
This is one of your best reviews😂😂😂
Why are some of the vortex diamondback, tactical scopes more expensive than others on other websites? Same scope, same power big difference in price.
Excellent 👌 scopes I love them for long shooting 😅
"..., and I'm not apologizing for that sh*t." Lol.
Your sure enjoying that slapping Joe, I can tell.
Greetings from Philippines. Just want to ask, what happen to the BEEMAN Scope? Thanks for your time...

Hey Joe excellent channel. I'm thinking about getting the Valdada Terminator, what are your opinions on it?
Absolutely AWESOME CHOICE
Another good one Joe. You could have been abit harder on that scope I think. Lol 😆
Do you like it better then the arken, also price difference is a key factor to some
No I prefer the Arken 100%
Another great review.
This guy..talking like a gentleman, slapping like a pimp.
Funny seeing a planet commercial after the video lol 😂
I am not expecting "Certified Bad Ass" on this POS
Fkn Joe. I come home from a fun weekend and this fkr just has to make me laugh even more.. Thanx @Joe Rhea for the 5% and like always great content!

Which one is best for hunting,the ffp or the sfp,I can’t find much info on this
Ron go with SFP . EVERY rifle I hunt with has a SFP and I wouldn’t choose anything else!
