The diamondback HD version (newest) was $5 more a week ago. All of these are the non HD versions.

OP has been updated with matching manufacturer pages for spec reference. They are different models, yes.

Sportsman's Warehouse has the D241 (it's listed under MPN in the top right)
https://vortexoptics.com/vortex-d...cular.html

Scheel's has the DB-205 (listed at the end of some numbers in product description)
https://vortexoptics.com/vortex-d...cular.html

Unfortunately when you go to the manufacturer website and look through their listed models, or you even use the search on their website, it won't pull up those model pages. That's because one is discontinued and the other is limied distribution (meaning it was a model limited to one or more stores). So you have to plug the model numbers into google to find the manufacturer product pages.

All of it has that impeccable vortex lifetime warranty though so as long as the specs meet your needs, if it breaks, vortex will replace it with the closest available model, usually in your favor. I haven't had to use my vortex warranty yet but my friends have used it and had great experiences.

Any thoughts on how these compare to the Leupold Ranier HD? Saw them at Costco for $129 (with bag and a knife), but normally $179
I'd go with the lifetime warranty of vortex if you plan on actually using them.

These are like 2 or 3 generations old at this point. Even if the Costco binos are just one of Leupold's lower end models rebranded, I'd go with the Leupolds.

Leupold has a good warranty, glass and corrective coating are almost certainly better, and Costco's return policy is excellent.

When spending over $100, find a model with HD glass. The difference is remarkable, and worth the extra price.

What's your best suggestion for $100 or slightly more?

Why not just get the same one of these but in HD for $138 from OpticsPlanet?

Check the other post for it.
