Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the Trijicon TARS scope suitable for long-range shooting?

The Trijicon TARS is designed for long-range shooting due to its first focal plane reticle, which maintains consistent aiming points at all magnifications. It also features a 34mm tube for extensive windage and elevation adjustments, parallax correction, and a robust, military-grade construction.

What is a first focal plane reticle and why is it important?

A first focal plane (FFP) reticle is located in front of the scope's magnification lens. This means the reticle appears to grow or shrink proportionally with the image as you change magnification, ensuring that subtensions (like MOA or MIL markings) remain accurate at any power setting.

What are the adjustment options for the Trijicon TARS turrets?

The Trijicon TARS offers extensive adjustment capabilities with 150 MOA of elevation and 120 MOA of windage. Shooters can choose between MIL (milliradian) or MOA (minute of angle) adjustment systems, and the turrets feature a pull-out, adjust, and snap-back design to prevent accidental zero shifts.

Can the Trijicon TARS scope be used with night vision devices?

Yes, the Trijicon TARS has a compact design that allows for the mounting of night vision devices in front of the scope. This makes it a versatile option for shooters who may want to transition between day and low-light or nighttime operations.
