The Talos scope is built for the dedicated hunter, featuring fully multi-coated lenses that enhance light transmission for optimal brightness and true color across the entire light spectrum. Its etched glass reticle ensures durability and shock resistance, while the heat-treated one-piece tube design provides exceptional strength and moisture resistance, keeping the scope fog-proof for life. Nitrogen purging further reduces moisture inside the tube, ensuring waterproof performance in harsh conditions.
