Tiny size - big performance
The TSN-500 series scope may be tiny but optically it punches well above its (400g) weight! Kowa optical technology squeezes out as much light transmission and resolution possible for an objective lens of this size using state of the art lens coatings. Images are clear and bright with great detail.
Fully waterproof body
To keep the body of the TSN-500 series scope as light as possible, an advanced polycarbonate material is used whilst retaining a rugged strength to protect the optics and engineering inside. The body is fully waterproof and nitrogen filled to prevent fogging in extreme temperatures. All in all - it's a tough little cookie!
