Vortex Diamondback Tactical 4-16x44 FFP Riflescope, EBR-2C MOA, 1/4 MOA, 30mm

great beginner deer or tactical scope, but does not have illuminated reticle and turrets do not lock. FFP is great but at 4x early morning and dusk difficult to see due to small size retocle. worked on 308 and 6.5 grendal no problem and held zero and long deer season for 3 years no need to rezero yet. great scope for price but would reconsider for tactical operations due to no turret lock. Still a good purchase.

Exceeded expectations, both visually and through build quality. Took it through some nasty weather this season and stayed intact and true.

Very clear glass. Just wish it had a zero stop. Otherwise, it's a 10/10!

This scope is mounted on an AR platform and has helped me to shoot smaller groups at longer ranges. The optics are crystal clear and let in plenty of light during low light conditions.

Overall its a great scope. I use mine strictly for whitetail hunting within 300 yards. So far has held correct zero. The one thing I will COMPLAIN about is, as soon as you go past 10x for long range, the view gets DARK and a little BLURRY if your eye relief is not EXACTLY correct, you also have to be PERFECTLY centered in it. If you get it everything EXACTLY perfect its great. So you have to be in a very comfortable and controllable hunting position, it would be a challenge if shooting offhand with some wind. . . 10x and down you have some wiggle room, you do not have to be perfectly centered and eye relief can vary by an inch or so without effecting the clarity.

So far scope has been awesome to use. Does some 400 yard shooting with it on my 300 win mag, currently getting it rained on for opening day or gun season for dear hunting. I will say the turret hash marks could line up better and the turret clicks could be a little more crisp but I do understand that its not a top of the line scope, otherwise I would buy it again for hunting with. The sun shade it comes with is awesome. Cuts down the glare

May be slight overkill but for my 22lr bench setup I love this optic! Clear glass and great features for the budget!

This thing is great except for the super bad eye relief. You have to be in the exactly centered with the optic and dead on with they eye relief or you'll just see black. There is absolutely no wiggle room to move your head around.

Bought this scope for a 7 PRC and had it professionally mounted and it instantly was frustrating. Would get a couple awesome 2 shot groupings and then a 3rd would be five inches off. Then would have a good 3 shot group and then it would move 4 inches and have another good group. All shooting was off a bipod, no lead sled. I popped it on a 350 Legend that I know is very consistent and had the same problem. Also slapped a buddy's Leupold on the 7 PRC and it shot lights out. Long story short sent it back and got a new scope 6 days later. I got it on paper and first 3 shot group at 200 yards was right at an inch, so half moa. This is also a testament to CVA Cascade XT and 7 PRC, but this scope is right at home with the setup. This was the 5th Vortex I've owned and the first problem and Vortex made it right ASAP so I remain a satisfied customer.

Despite 50 years of operating and owning firearms, 11 in the military, just last year was my first time using a scope. I bought the 4-16x44 FFP EBR-2C. Had an experienced pal help install and level. A couple range trips later and I'm in love with this new long range ability and how the experience feels. What I've learned so far is there is a LOT to learn if you want to become a master, but right now I'm happy being a novice with a scope because I'm still a leap forward in ability from where I was without a scope. Everything about Vortex has been awesome, too. I didn't even realize until now my rangefinder that I like a lot is also a Vortex lol.
