Overview

Not a fixed power optic, the Diamondback Tactical is a variable scope with an MOA reticle in the second focal plane. It carries an aluminum body, lens covers and a cleaning cloth.

The MOA reticle gives holdover and windage marks, and the unconditional warranty is a headline feature. The limitation is that those marks match their stated values at one magnification only, a trait of the second focal plane.

Who it's for

Hunting and range rifles where a mid-range zoom is enough. Shooters who want holdovers at every power should look at a first focal plane design.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Second focal plane
  • Lens covers and cloth included
Cons
  • Eye relief not listed
  • Turret details missing
  • No night vision

Performance notes

Turning the power ring changes magnification while a second focal plane reticle stays one size, so MOA marks read true at a single setting only. The objective lens width limits light gathering in dim conditions, and field of view narrows as power rises.
