Thanks for the response, folks. It's appreciated.

SteveC99.��Yeah, you have 1, and I handled 2, so combined we have a sample of 3.��
Statistically, that�s weak, isn�t it?

Hopefully, the �new� VORTEX Diamondback line, known as the �Diamondback HP�, will have things a bit better sorted, and have more consistency in the mechanicals.

The new Diamondback HP line is comprised of 3 scopes. 4-16x42, 3-12x42, and 2-8x32.

There�s a fairly complete description of them on the Vortex website. Due on dealer shelves �summer 2014���or something like that���..

I �want� to like and admire the new 3-12x42, but I�ll need to handle a couple of �em extensively before I decide to buy.

For the Colorado, Wyoming, and Texas hunting I do, the 3x-12X power range suits me well.

We'll see..........
