@J9_j3 5 лет назад

off all the scope reviews i watched trying to figure out whether i should care about first focal plane reticle or not, you did the best 'real life example' explanation that puts it in very clear perspective for me. excellent job Johnny. As with anything you do, your approach is methodical and thorough, yet never lacks practicality and never over-burdened with technical lingo or in-depth theory. i can relate to this type of review as oppose a million other youtubers that review their crap but also want show off how smart they are and how many words they know. sometimes (usually all the time) less is definitely more.

Thank you Johnny, your loading videos and this scope review are now my "go to" whenever i need clear, comprehensive information with no BS, i now have a 6-24×50 Diamond Back on my Tac A1 and and the results I'm getting from this set up with hand loads are now exceeding my greatest expectations, i can not thank you enough.

@ronws2007 2 года назад

All of my optics are Vortex. I have a Crossfire II 3-9/40 mm Dead Hold BDC that came with my Mossberg Patriot .308 Win. Then, with my Mossberg MVP LR-308 and my Windham Weaponry R16SFST-30 (AR-10 platform) I put on the Diamondback Tactical 6x-24x/ 50 mm FFP scopes. Then, this year, the Venom came out and I bought three of those. One for the Patriot, which I re-homed to an MDT LSS Gen 2 Chassis, folding stock adapter, and SCS butt stock, one for the MVP, one for the R16. Which means I had the Crossfire II, and two Diamondbacks Tactical, and a few cheapies laying around. My newest hunting rifle, a TC Compass II .308 Win, I wanted lightweight with the Crossfire II but I feel like I am getting more precision with the Diamondback Tactical and it is 10 ounces heavier than the Crossfire II. However, my rifle weighs only 9 pounds 7 ounces, and I can live with that. So, I would suggest a Diamondback Tactical, if you can afford it, for all rifles. Maybe a Venom for long range or situations where you are constantly dialing different DOPE and returning to zero speeds that up. The only exception might be if you get a straight wall chambering like .350 Legend, .450 Bush Master or .45-70 Government. Then a dead hold BDC reticle might work. Vortex has one called the Crossfire II Straight Wall BDC. It competes with the Leupold Freedom 350 Legend. Though you can true any reticle with your cartridge using a ballistic calculator.

Hey dude that was the best visual of chromatic apparitions I’ve seen, very educational! I think these are a decent value that appear to track pretty well! I definitely understand your reasoning for liking 2nd FP for me I like first focal plane to call missed shots. Great review man I like your approach, also the groups were excellent here!

@agentjwa 5 лет назад

yep, just remember you also get CA from the mirror in the adapter and any CA from the cell phone lens. any time we bend white light the different colors are going to show because they dont pass through glass at the same speed.

I bought a Diamondback 6-24x50 yesterday and I can happily confirm that they fixed most of the issues you pointed out about the turrets. They line up almost perfectly now with the notches, and the play is significantly less than what's on yours.

@frufru0071 4 месяца назад

Thanks for sharing this review. I’ve just acquired the Diamondback 6-24x 50, and it’s a big step up from the cheaper Bushnell and Simmons scopes that I have been using for ~7 years. The Vortex is on top of a T1x 22LR and once it was sighted in, I put holes in holes. I’ve never done that before. I’m not used to either of them, yet. I’m having trouble finding a decent bipod that fits on to a swivel stud. Great review.

@rdsii64 5 лет назад

After watching your review and having more rifles than scopes, I just took delivery of the diamondback tactical FFP. I got the 4-16x44 to save some money. (350.00 to my door with two day shipping from amazon) So far I like it. The glass is pretty good. It isn't PST gen 2 good, but its more than usable. The turrets were mushy but at 350.00 delivered, the turrets get no points lost for the mushy thing. I can hear and feel the clicks and thats all you can really ask for from a sub 400.00 optic. When I can get to the range, if it tracks, holds zero, and the click value is consistent from top to bottom its a winner.

My strike eagle checked a lot of boxes for my Grendel build. 4 power on the low end for close hunting situations, illuminated reticle and 50mm objective lens for low light conditions, and 24 power top end for long shits at the range. It's a very versatile optic.

@matthewcooper967 3 года назад

@daviddale3624 5 лет назад

Absolutely correct about the shrinking FFP reticle being hard for "older" eyes to read. The high end optics are (IMO) for younger eyes at longer ranges (beyond 600 yards). If that ain't you, save your money. The crosshairs are what matters for accurate shooting. More folk buy for "seeing" than shooting.

I loved my Gen I PST but I also have a Gen II PST that I bought first and it just blows the first gen out of the water... The eye relief, the field of view, the clarity, the illumination, the turrets and zero stop... if you’re looking at a PST Gen I right now I strooooongly suggest just spending a bit more and getting the Gen II, it is not just minor improvements. You really are seeing two completely different generations of optics with the PST Gen I and II.

@natebonebusta 5 лет назад

Thankfully Vortex is finally getting the message and dropping the side focus range below 50 yards as a minimum. Now more rimfire shooters like myself will give them a consideration. Air rifle shooters also can now add Vortex to the possibilities. I prefer a higher magnification range, and a ranging reticle. In the future I hope Nikon will finally get the message. Thanks for the through review.

@Power5 5 лет назад

You are a master reviewer. I give them no margin of error for their turrets at this price point. Mushy turrets that do not line up with the marks is unacceptable. Do not concede this to be acceptable for MFG brown nose points. I mean sure, you obviously have enough money to buy $2000 worth of scopes just to play with and do reviews with, but most of us are trying to pick the cheapest scope with the most value. Your explanations of chromatic aberrations was excellent. Your explanation of the first versus second focal plane was excellent. Your shooting with tracking the scope around the paper was excellent and first time I had seen that method.

@daveenriquez7790 9 месяцев назад

Great video, I currently have two Vortex Viper SFP HSLR 4-16X50mm with BDC reticles on my two hunting rifles. A Crossfire SFP 6-18X42mm on a bolt .223 and just ordered a Viper FFP PST Gen II 5-25X50mm with EBR-7C reticle to put on a dual purpose Tactical Target rifle that I also wanted to hunt with. I, too, always have my scopes on 4-6 power when walking around in case of a close shot. I struggled with my decision to purchase a FFP scope. I was concerned about low power, First Focal Plane, on being able to see the Reticle. The ability to turn on the PST Gen II illuminated Reticle a little more than half way, the cross hair is much thicker and easier to see on low power. This made my decision easier to pull the trigger on a FFP scope with a fine thickness Christmas tree reticle. Thanks for a great review.

Great review and comparison. One of the best scope reviews I've seen especially compared to others who just talk about the scopes and give positive and negative opinions without any substance or basis for their opinions other than setting the scope up on a mock-up action and point the scopes in their backyards and attest to the durability and performance based on a 45-second turret twisting frenzy. Fantastic shooting too. You have the T/C Compass and your loads dialed in on target.

Once again John, great review! I'm a big photography buff, and in photography, aberration is a big deal. In shooting, color isn't so much. I do understand it's about the quality of the glass. That's why I use ED glass in my Nikons. Great point on can you hit with a $400 as well as $1100. Using a load you posted in the 6.5 Grendel series, I shot a .460 4 shot group, after the fist sight in. New 18" Grendel barrel from Atheris Barrel Company. The scope was 4.5-18X 40, on sale, at Midway for $165.00. I have to respect what you do, and what you say. Again, a good review. I watch as many of your loading vids as I can. My girl calls you, the Hands.

@larslake 5 лет назад

Johnny; Excellent video. I think many times ppl get a bit overly excited about FFP scopes. Those scopes certainly have their advantages. The SFP scopes also have certain advantages like staying at higher magnification. I think knowing your scope's abilities makes all the difference in long range shooting. One important note - We don't always shoot in blight sunlight. Sometimes we've got very limited light and that's where the illuminated reticles comes into play.

@Joeatsaco69 4 года назад

Good vid. I love my Diamondback coming from cheaper scopes the glass is incredible. I didn’t thing I would like that reticle as I thought it was too busy but now I love it for quick adjustments. Where you see the bullet strike becomes your new reticle. I would buy many more Diamond backs. With the differences if I was to step up I would go all the way to the strike eagle but stay with the FFP. I would also stay with The ebr reticle if possible. I am now a Vortex Fanboy. Incredible from my past experience to now. Keep posting your very honest is your review.

I also have a Diamondback Tactical with the MOA reticle. I noticed right off the image quality wasn't as good as my 30 year old Leupold VX3 3.5-10x 50mm. The features more than make up for the slightly less sharp image. The down side is, if I had waited another month, the Leupold VX-3i 6-24x 50mm that I really wanted dropped in price to only about a $150 or so more than the Vortex and now it's discontinued. The only thing close they have now with a MOA reticle is going for around $2k.

@commonsense5709 Год назад

Chinese made scopes usually don't have great glass unless you know which ones are the best you can buy at their respective price points. The $500 Athlon Midas Tac 6-24x50 and $700 Athlon Ares BTR 4.5-27x50 are a few examples of best clear glass in their price points compared to all other brand labeled Chinese made scopes which do not have as good glass at these price points.

@commonsense5709 Год назад

It's nearly impossible for a Chinese made scope to have great image quality and brightness compared to a Leupold.

@robertschneider1977 5 лет назад

Looks like it's coming up 1/4 to 1/2 minute short on each adjustment. Not a problem unless you plan to shoot out to extreme long range. That's where the money goes in those Schmidt and Benders. But does return to zero and is consistent with adjustments. That dog will hunt for most hunting applications, especially within 500 yds.

Hey, Johnny. I gotta say, I really like your videos. They are the best of any out there. It's clear that you'd make a good instructor. Your video helped me make two decisions on these scopes. I've been trying to select two scope rigs and I was already looking at the Vortex scopes. CZ-527 Varmint with 25.6 inch barrel in 6.5 grendel, is going with the 6-24 diamondback tactical FFP. 22" AR in 6.5 Grendel, going with the Stike Eagle 3-18 x44 SFP illuminated for the same reasons you outlined in your video. When hunting with the AR, I need wide field of view (and 31.8 feet on the strke eagle), and illuminated reticle is great in low light hunting in woods.s Your reloading videos are the best out there. I was intrigued at how incredibly well you shot 140 gr in the grendel and velocity was remarkable! I realize that your using a shorter barrel, but I'd love to see the new 135 grain A-tip tested in the Grendel. I'm thinking with that long barrel CZ, I might be able to push 2600. IDK.

I have the 6X24X50 and the 4X16X44 in MRAD and would be crazy not to. I wish Vortex was still making the 6 power Strike Eagle in 3X18 or even the 4X24. I like that much range. Not having markings between 20 yards and infinity is no big deal. The yardage markings are just for reference. I look through the optic to adjust, everyone's eyes are different and a 100 yard marking for one person may be right for someone else at 80 or 150. The Diamondback Tactical is an amazing deal.

I'd like to see him review the Bushnell 4.5-18X40. I got one, on sale, and shot a .460 four shot group on the sighting in with my new 6.5 Grendel. I got the load data from his Grendel Loading Series. The decision to go with an 18 inch was also, after watching him shoot the 18 inch Faxon. The load shoots under .700 at one shot per second, with a stock I have to hold off the bag to keep it from collapsing.

@commonsense5709 Год назад

The Bushnell Engage has a SFP moa reticle with much nicer image quality on high magnification compared to the Vortex Diamondback Tactical. The Forge is offered in both FFP and SFP reticles and have even nicer image quality and adds a zero stop. The Athlon Ares BTR is a much better alternative to the Bushnell Forge.

I agree with you about the first focal plane. Although the concept is great looking through the glass at low magnification kind of sucks. I always use at least 10 or higher.

@jvalentine8376 Год назад

The idea with the PST FFP scope is you only use low zoom powers to find targets and then you zoom up to a power that sees the detail of the target better and hence the reticle is also seen better . If you want to shoot at things at low powers then get a low powered scope with SFP .

i really like the reticle on the diamondback because the reticles has a gap in the middle, I prefer that than the reticle covering the target
