Glassing out west demands an HD optic, but other systems can't get you the clarity you need to see a tail twitch in low light, or pick a tine out of dense cover. The redesigned Diamondback HD spotting scopes have all the horsepower the long-distance hunter needs, and they excel in low light-right when you need it most.

We've also streamlined the exterior for a sleeker, snag-free profile, building in a helical focus wheel. For the biggest hunt of your year, or your third time out this season, the all-new Diamondback HD spotters deliver the power to focus on the thrill of your hunt.

How to Use The Diamondback HD Spotting Scope. Before attaching the eyepiece, remove any covers that would interfere with attaching the eyepiece to the spotting scope body. To attach the eyepiece, insert the eyepiece into the body and rotate clockwise using the ribbed ring on the eyepiece until the eyepiece is tight (stops rotating). To detach the eyepiece, hold the ribbed ring and turn the eyepiece counterclockwise. Change your spotting scope's magnification by simply turning the magnification adjustment ring. Increase the magnification by turning the adjustment ring clockwise. Decrease the magnification by turning the adjustment ring counterclockwise.

The tripod mount collar allows you to rotate the spotting scope body for greater flexibility. Loosen the mounting collar by turning the thumbscrew counterclockwise.

Rotate the spotting scope body to the viewing angle you prefer. Keep the spotting scope in the preferred viewing position by turning the thumbscrew clockwise to secure the mounting collar. For the steadiest views, mount the Diamondback HD on a sturdy tripod or car window mount. The built-in tripod mount easily attaches to most tripods and quick-release plates. After changing the magnification, some refocusing is usually required.

Turn the focus dial to adjust the fine focus. This fine focusing does more than allow you to see critical details: A well-focused image also ensures fatigue-free viewing. The adjustable eyecup twists up and down so you can observe the full field of view, even if you wear eyeglasses. Twist eyecup down to view with glasses.

Twist eyecup up to view without glasses. Extend this fitted hood to effectively block out disturbing stray light. The sunshade also shields the objective lens from mechanical damage and guards against soiling caused by fingerprints and precipitation.
