Kowa TSN-883 — The last scope you may ever buy!

It’s easy to see why Kowa is consistently rated one of the top in its class, the TSN-883 is no exception! We’ve been extremely pleased with the quality, crispness and color while using the Kowa TSN-883. It’s taken our birding to another level with the range it’s opened up. It’s easy to see even some of the smallest details which helps in identifying new &/or challenging species.

Kowa TSN-883 88mm/3.5" Angled Spotting Scope

Absolutely marvelous. Very sharp image with great contrast and brings the birds in wonderfully. Recommend the 1.6x doubler for the eyepiece when the birds look like your holding them in your hand right in front of you.

Outstanding clarity

I use this as a long range spotting scope for F-class shooting out to 1000 yds. With a 25x long eye relief eyepiece it is the perfect combination. Crystal clear with no distortion.

If you're seeking superior optical performance in a compact package, look no further than the 66mm Angled Viewing Water Proof Spotting Scope. Part of the esteemed TSN-660 Series, this high-performance spotting scope is designed to meet the needs of hunters and wildlife enthusiasts who require clear detection of game and movement.

Featuring a 66mm objective lens, this spotting scope boasts over 120% more light gathering capability than a standard 60mm lens, ensuring a bright and clear field of view for detailed observation. The Prominar model TSN-663 utilizes XD-Fluorite glass for the objective lens, minimizing chromatic aberration for sharper, more accurate images.

All lenses, prisms, and dust proof glass in this spotting scope are fully multi-coated, enhancing image sharpness and providing a clear visual range. Despite its high-performance features, the TSN-660 Series maintains a compact and lightweight body, making it easy to handle and carry. Weighing in at just 1kg (36 oz), it offers the convenience of a 60mm class spotting scope without compromising on performance.

Designed for durability, the spotting scope is waterproof to JIS Protection Class 7 and filled with dry nitrogen gas to prevent lens fogging. Please note, while it is highly water-resistant, it is not intended for underwater use.

Additional features include an aiming line for quick sighting, a smooth, accurate focusing knob, and dust protection glass to shield the scope from dust and moisture. A sliding sunshade helps to prevent unnecessary light and raindrops from affecting the scope's performance, while a bayonet mount ensures easy and quick interchanging of eyepieces. The rotating tripod mount allows for versatile positioning of the spotting scope when attached to a tripod (not included).

In summary, the 66mm Angled Viewing Water Proof Spotting Scope is a compact, high-performance tool that offers superior brightness, optical performance, and user-friendly features, making it an ideal choice for hunters and wildlife enthusiasts.
