    Nice
    I had to send a PST back because the reticle would rotate when you wound the magnification.
    At least they've got a good warranty

    Yep. Scope hasn't even been used in 12 months.
    Took it out of storage to put on my brand new shorty AR build and "hey, what's that rattle?"
    Have had to take a scope off another rifle now.

    I had a PST 1-4x, and just sold it, but it was perfect, no complaints.
    Reason for selling was wanted more magnification.
    Went to buy a new 2.5-10x32 FFP PST last weekend and when I zoomed down to 2.5 the entire lens was covered in hundreds of little black bits... hence it stayed in the store...

    When you get a good one, they are good, but their QA is shit, but their customer service is 10/10.

    Yep, a Diamondback, 4 years old.
    Wasn't that impressed with that model really.
    Lousy eye relief and quite a bulky scope for a 2-7.
    No complaints with my x3 Spitfire though.

    Oh hard case, i loved the first DB 4-12x40 that much, that i picked up another two of them. Looking at grabbing an Viper HS-T 4-16x44 now as well. Im impreseed with the glass and brightness at last light, and have been dialing them, and they are performing well. Great value for money ive been thinking, but ive had no issues....

    Scope is back from Vortex, all fixed and refurbished.
    Only took 3 weeks form the day I sent it.

    So thumbs up to Vortex for customer service.

    @dogmatix What model is it? Did they pay for the return shipping?
    Already have an early model Diamondback but currently I am considering a Diamondback HP 4-16x42.
    Anyone else got this model of Diamondback?

    Its the Diamondback 2-7x35 BDC reticle.

    Yep, no charge for return shipping, only for me to send to the US, which was around $31 NZ.

    The Vortex looks better on my AR that the Leupold did.
