    Vortex Diamondback 1.75-5x32

    I am still looking for a scope for my rifle.
    The Vortex Diamondback, how is it? Is it proper to put a .338 Winchester Magnum in, due to recoil?

    I’ve got a Diamondback 4X16 on my .308. Had it for about 2 years and I like it.

    Is it compatible with .338 recoil?
    Have you tried it at night?

    Should hold up to the recoil but for low light you probably want a bigger objective than 32.

    the diamondbacks are very good scope investment for what they cost in my opinion. and the warranty is about the best in the business.
    ive got one on a 22 a 2-7-35. very clear bright crisp view from edge to edge. I like it a real lot.

    Only had my scope on the .308 so I can’t say about the effects of additional recoil. Also mine has a 44MM objective so it is probably different that what you’d get with the 32MM.
