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.

Optical Performance

  • Broad 15-45x magnification range allows you to scan large areas of the landscape on low power with the ability to make detailed observations of distant subjects at high power
  • 50mm objective lens provides the light-gathering capability required to keep views bright and clear even in low or challenging light, such as at dawn and dusk
  • BK7 Porro prism light path has zero internal interference so views are crisp and contrast-rich
  • Anti-reflection fully coated lenses maximize light transmission to produce bright and accurate colors
  • Wide 140-foot field of view at 1000 yards on 15x, 65-foot on 45x

Use and Handling

  • Eyepiece set in-line with the optical tube to make finding subjects faster and tracking moving targets easier
  • Large slip-resistant zoom collar is easy to adjust
  • Low-profile focus knob provides precision focusing with a reduced snag hazard
  • Twist-up rubber eyecup for comfortable viewing with or without eyewear
  • Exceptional 20mm eye relief makes long-duration observation sessions easy with reduced eyestrain

Construction Details

  • Rubber armor protects against impacts while providing a slip-resistant grip for more secure handling during setup and breakdown
  • Compact design is under 11" in length to make it easier to pack and carry
  • Standard 1/4"-20 tripod mount is compatible with many photo/video/field tripods, quick release plates, and other support systems
