Overview
The Shotac 10-40x56 is a high-magnification second focal plane rifle scope with a 34mm tube, mil dot reticle, and side focus parallax adjustment down to 10 yards, built around common hunting calibers from .223 up to .45.
At 10-40x this scope sits well above typical hunting magnification, which suits long-range target work more than fast field shots. The 34mm monotube is nitrogen purged and shock rated, and Shotac markets it toward long-range shooting, though no owner reviews are available yet to confirm how it holds up in the field.
- 10-40x56 second focal plane optic
- 34mm tube, nitrogen purged, shock rated
- Side focus parallax, 10 yards to infinity
- Mil dot reticle, 11 red brightness settings
Who it's for
Shooters focused on long-range target work who want high magnification and a large 56mm objective for light gathering. Less suited to fast-moving field hunting where a lower, quicker magnification range works better.
