Extreme-range precision. Clarity that inspires confidence

If you’re looking for a long-range optic that combines clarity, repeatable dialing and rugged real-world performance, the Vector Optics Tauron 5–40×56 delivers. 

With ED glass for crisp contrast, a First Focal Plane (FFP) MIL reticle, side focus parallax control, illuminated reticle and a solid 34 mm tube, this scope is built to handle serious distance work with confidence.

Key Reasons to consider

• Massive 5–40× zoom range usable zoom for both mid-range spotting and true long-range detail — perfect for precision shooters and serious hunters alike.

• ED glass (Extra-low Dispersion) delivers sharp, high-definition images edge to edge. Brilliant resolution, colour fidelity and contrast, making it easier to pick up fine target details at distance.

• First focal plane (FFP) reticle - The FFP design keeps your MIL subtensions accurate at any magnification, so holdovers and wind calls remain true no matter where you’re zoomed.

• VTA-8 Illuminated MIL Reticle with detailed holdovers – perfect for windage/elevation holds

• Tactical Turrets with Audible 1/10 MIL click adjustments - Exposed tactical turrets are easy to adjust and provide clear, audible mechanical clicks and solid tactile feedback — ideal for active dialing at the range.

• Side parallax adjustment - Adjustable side focus from roughly 15 yards to infinity allows you to fine-tune sharpness and reduce parallax error across close, medium and long ranges.

• Locking and zero-stop turrets - The elevation turret includes a zero stop that lets you return instantly to your established zero, and windage turret lock helps prevent accidental shifts

• 34mm tube - Strength & Adjustment - The larger 34 mm main tube supports a wide internal adjustment range and stronger mechanical rigidity, which is critical when dialing elevation for long shots.

• Waterproof, fogproof and shockproof – built for hard use in all conditions

Perfect for

• Long-range precision shooters and competition marksmen

• Air rifle users pushing accuracy to the limit

• Tactical shooters needing MIL-based, FFP consistency

• Anyone demanding serious glass for under serious money

FAQs

Q: Does it track accurately at high magnification?
A: Yes – this model is renowned for reliable tracking and return-to-zero performance even at 40×.

Q: Will it handle recoil from a .308 or larger?
A: Absolutely – it’s rated for centre-fire recoil and holds up to repeated use on large-calibre rifles.

Q: Is the VTA-8 reticle easy to use?
A: Yes – it's clean but detailed, with illuminated centre and holdover markings ideal for distance work.

Q: Will it fit my rifle?
A: If your rifle has a Picatinny or Weaver rail the included mounts are a fit out of the box. If you have a different rail you will need to get 34mm rings to suit or an adapter to allow the use of picatinny (adapter is the recommended solution in most cases)

Q: What does FFP mean?
A: In a First Focal Plane scope, the reticle scales with magnification so MIL marks stay accurate at every zoom level — ideal for long-range holds.

Q: Why ED glass?
A: ED (Extra-Low Dispersion) glass helps reduce chromatic aberration and enhance clarity and contrast at higher power.

Q: What range can I use the side focus on?
A: Side focus (parallax control) works from about 15 yards to infinity for sharper aim at close and distant targets.

Q: Can I dial back to my zero easily?
A: Yes — the zero stop lets you return to your zero quickly after dialing elevation.

Q: Does this scope hold up mechanically?
A: Yes — with a turret lock and tactical turrets with clear tactile feedback, adjustments are reliable and intentional.
