Tasco 15-45x50 Spotting Scope (Straight Viewing)

Powerful and portable, the Tasco 15-45x50 Spotting Scope is designed to be your constant companion in the field, on your porch, or at the range. Its generous zoom range allows you to scan wide swaths of the landscape for something interesting to look at, with the ability to dial up the magnification to make detailed observations. A large zoom ring and textured focus knob bring the scene into tack-sharp clarity at any magnification you choose. The combination of BK7 Porro prism and anti-reflection fully-coated lenses presents bright and clear high-contrast views with accurate color representation. Measuring under 11" in length and weighing about 1.25 pounds, the spotter is easy to pack and carry.

The eyepiece is set in-line with the objective lens and optical tube to make finding and tracking subjects faster and easier versus angled eyepiece models. The exceptional eye relief and twist-up eyecup make viewing through the eyepiece easy and comfortable—even during long glassing sessions. The spotter is outfitted with a standard 1/4"-20 tripod mount to make it compatible with a wide variety of tripods, heads, and quick release plates on the market. Tasco provides a simple tabletop tripod and pan/tilt head to get you started out of the box and a soft carrying case for added protection and convenience when you're storing or transporting it.
