Product Description

From The Manufacturer

Tasco's World Class family of spotting scopes is designed especially for birding, hunting and wildlife observation. The variable zoom feature allows you to scan a panoramic area and when an object is spotted, zoom in at high magnification to take in extreme detail. Quality coated optics offer a crisp, clear view while excellent eye relief, large exit pupils and a quality tripod offer hours of comfortable, steady viewing.

This is a great mid-range performer with an excellent field-of-view at lower powers and plenty of magnification to see the finest details.

• 15x to 45x variable magnification
• 50mm objective lens
• Black matte finish

Tech Talk

• What the Numbers Mean: The numbers for each scope tell you the scopeÕs power or magnification rating, whether the magnification can be increased or decreased with a zoom dial, and the diameter of the objective lens. So, a 3-9x40mm is a scope with a variable zoom magnification from 3x to 9x with a 40 millimeter objective lens.
• How Much Magnification: Because high-powered riflescopes have a smaller field-of-view than a lower powered scope, choose your magnification with the distance you will be shooting in mind. Use low power for close shots in brush or deep woods and high power when hunting distant game in the mountains, open fields and prairie.
• Fixed vs. Zoom Magnification: Variable power scopes, or zooms, offer the benefits of high, medium and low powers, all in one scope. Zooms are particularly advantageous in changing light, weather, environmental conditions or geographic locations and when you're hunting different types of game. In short, variables enable the hunter to use the scope under various circumstances--from close-in brush hunting to open range hunting. Fixed or low power scopes are recommended for hunting dangerous game, especially at close range or in dense foliage where a wide field of view is required and where a mistake in distance estimation could have dire consequences.
