Overview
Not a first focal plane optic, the Talos is a second focal plane scope, so its reticle stays the same size as the zoom changes. It uses a one-inch tube with a Mil-Dot reticle and a cantilever mount type, and the listing marks it for hunting rifles.
A wide zoom range and a Mil-Dot reticle give a shooter room to cover close and distant shots. Details that matter for fitting and using it, such as eye relief, turret values and calibration magnification, are absent.
Who it's for
Rifle hunters who want a wide zoom range and do not need holdover marks to match every power setting suit this scope. Long-range shooters who measure with the reticle at any zoom setting should look at a first focal plane design.
Pros and cons
- Wide zoom range
- Second focal plane
- Box contents unclear
- Eye relief not listed
- Mil-Dot calibration zoom unknown
Performance notes
In a second focal plane scope the reticle does not grow with the image, so mil spacing is true only at one power setting, and the listing does not say which. The large zoom range changes the field of view, and the listed figure does not state its distance or zoom setting.
