The Diamondback HP series tops out at a 4-16&#215;42 model, while the Crossfire II series tops out with a 6-24&#215;50 model.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Reticles: Both the Crossfire II and Diamondback HP models share the same reticle options, which are the <a href=\"https:\/\/riflescope-review.com\/comparing-vortex-reticles-dead-hold-bdc-vs-vplex\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Dead Hold BDC and the V-Plex reticles<\/a>. However, between the two scope series, only the Crossfire II series has an illuminated reticle option.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Adjustments<\/strong> \u2013 The Crossfire II models use an adjustable objective for the parallax adjustments, while the HP scopes feature a side focus for parallax adjustment. In my book, the advantage goes to the side focus on the HP scopes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Costs<\/strong>: When they were being sold by Vortex, the Diamondback HP scopes were more expensive than the Crossfire II scopes. However, given the upgraded glass and features, you\u2019d somewhat expect that.<\/p>\n<p>However, now that the HP models have been phased out, the vendors that still have them in stock are typically offering the HP scopes at discounted prices that are much closer to the costs associated with the Crossfire II scope models.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Suggestions<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>If you don\u2019t need or want a scope with a magnification over 4-16, then the Diamondback HP scopes are certainly a good option, especially if you can find one at a nice discount.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>If you want or need a scope with a magnification range over 4-16, then the Crossfire II scopes are a better option for you.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>If you want or need a scope with an illuminated reticle, then the Crossfire II scopes are a better fit.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>However, if you have an issue buying a model that is no longer in production, then the HP scopes are probably not for you.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"If_I_buy_or_already_own_a_Diamondback_HP_rifle_scope_is_Vortex_still_honoring_the_warranty_on_it\"><\/span><strong>If I buy or already own a Diamondback HP rifle scope, is Vortex still honoring the warranty on it?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The answer is yes, as Vortex has one of the best warranty programs in the scope industry. However, it&#8217;s worth mentioning the following scenario:<\/p>\n<p>If you send a Diamondback HP scope in for warranty repair, and Vortex cannot repair it, they will most likely offer you either a credit towards a replacement scope or a standard Diamondback or Crossfire II scope model as a replacement.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_you_make_a_comparison_between_the_Vortex_Diamondback_HP_vs_Nikon_Prostaff_5\"><\/span><strong>Can you make a comparison between the Vortex Diamondback HP vs Nikon Prostaff 5?<\/strong><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>I can, but it\u2019s worth mentioning that Nikon is no longer in the rifle scope business, so they are no longer making the Prostaff 5 scopes.

The Prostaff 5 seems brighter and more precise, especially at longer distances.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Magnification range<\/strong>: Both the Diamondback HP and the P5 series offer a similar range of magnification options. However, the Prostaff P5 does have a higher range of magnification as they offer a 6-24&#215;50 model compared to the Diamondback HP series maxes out at a 4-16&#215;42 model.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Reticles<\/strong>: Both series offer nearly identical reticle options as both offer a BDC reticle option, and both offer a duplex based reticle.<\/p>\n<p>While I like the Vortex Dead-Hold BDC reticle, I think the Nikon BDC is slightly better as the BDC marks are open circles, so the target isn\u2019t covered.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Eye Relief<\/strong>: Having compared both scope series side by side, the Nikon P5 series seems to have better eye relief compared to the HP scopes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Adjustments<\/strong> \u2013 Both series offer side focus, which is a big plus in my book. I\u2019d rate the Diamondback HP as the winner in this category as the HP models focus down to either 20 or 30 yards, compared to the Prostaff P5 scopes only focusing down to a minimum of 50 yards.<\/p>\n<p>As a side note, one of my on-going pet peeves with the Nikon line of scopes has been the fact that almost all the scopes they offer have a parallax that defaults to 50 yards. This can be an issue when you\u2019re hunting if you have to take a shot at under 50 yards. A shot at a target closer than 50 yards means that the image in the scope is slightly out of focus and blurry. I know it\u2019s a small detail, but I find it irritating.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Costs<\/strong>: When both of these scopes were still in production and being offered by their respective makers, the Prostaff P5 scopes ranged anywhere from $230 up to $450 for the 6-24&#215;50 models, and the Diamondback HP scopes ranged anywhere from $369 up to $430.<\/p>\n<p>As both scope series are now no longer being produced, the prices have dropped some, but they are still very close in pricing today.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Suggestions<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>If you are shopping between the two scope series strictly on the quality of the glass, then the Nikon P5 scopes are a better bet.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>If you want or need a scope with a magnification range over 4-16, then the Nikon Prostaff 5 in 6-24&#215;50 is a better option.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>If you want or need a scope with an illuminated reticle, then neither of these scope series are an excellent choice as either are available with an illuminated reticle.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>If you are considering one of these two models and still being covered under warranty is a concern. The Diamondback HP series is a better choice as Nikon does not appear to be covering their scopes under warranty anymore.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>If you aren\u2019t concerned about the warranty coverage and the 50-yard minimum parallax isn\u2019t an issue, then the Prostaff 5 scopes are still an outstanding value.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Here are a few places where I located some Prostaff 5 scope models still for sale at excellent prices:<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"egg-container cegg-list-withlogos\">\n    \n    <div class=\"egg-listcontainer my-custom-class\">\n\n                    \n<div
