sadly they do not have any scope covers, so they said i could return it .. NO thanks i told her .. i will figure something out and keep the scope
Butler Creek lens covers are fairly inexpensive, just measure at both ends and order accordingly so you have a matched set.

thank you steve, only problem i can think of is the scope has a slashed front bell ... about a 45 degree angle .. i will peek to see if i get lucky

Well, as previously posted, we ordered 8 scopes from Sun optics. Everyone was so happy with their scope that put together another order of 6 or 8 more, not sure what the count is up to now. These scopes are a great bargain. I ordered a 8-32x50 this time. Read the specs carefully as the scope I ordered only
focuses down to 20 yards which is not a problem for what I want it for. Call and talk to Jim if you have questions or need to clarify specs, he's a great guy and easy to do business with.

Like I said in an earlier reply, I ordered two of the LONG RANGE TAC 8-32x63mm scopes. I have a question about the turrets. My turrets float above the windage and elevation mechanics. To make any adjustments I have to push the turret towards the main tube to engage the gear an then make my adjustments. I've never experienced a scope like this. All my previous scopes were the turret was directly attached to the mechanics/gears.

Is this how the scope works or am I a big dummy and doing something wrong? I checked the included owners manual and there is not mention of these floating turrets.

I also just ordered two of the 6-24x50mm TAC IV 30MM TACTICAL SCOPE - CS27-62450. I am done buying rifle scopes for a long time unless it's some infrared or automatic trajectory calculating rifle scope.

Thanks,

Taso

Taso, you are spot on, that is the way they work. I love the mechanism. They are quick to adjust but won't be accidentally turned. Very cool if you ask me

Just received my 6x42.

I tried to use the 4x32 that came with a box store springer. Wasn’t that clear and wouldn’t focus down to 11ish yards.

This is the first magnified glass I’ve ever intentionally bought. Was worried about lower light performance, but it seems pretty clear and has a 6+mm exit pupil.

Focuses down to 11yards- or close enough. Now to turn the parallax down and get some butler creek flip caps. Good quality. Thanks for posting. Happy.

It would be cool if they could split the turret so that the adjustment was floating but the indicator stayed where you left it.

Do the 6-24mm TAC IV's have the same turret as the Long Range Tac?

Thanks,

Hey Taso,
I bought the tac IV 8-32x50 and the turrets are similar in that you have to pull up on the turrets to engage the gears that adjust the reticle, and then push down to disengage. The difference with the tac IV is that each turret has 3 grub screw that lock it from being able to be pulled up. You can decide To either snug the grub screws after you have zeroed, or keep them loose for tool free adjustments.

Talked to steve on the phone ordered the 8-32x50. Scope has a lifetime warranty good enough for me😎

SilentSine · « **Reply #48 on:** December 29, 2017, 12:39:59 AM »

Going to try out the 8-32x50. For that price why not? Now to find a set of covers for it. Thanks OP for posting cause I couldn’t afford one without this bargain!

I have a small update on my LONG RANGE TAC 8-32x63mm scopes. I mounted the first one to a rifle to do some pellet testing and found that it will not focus down to 10 yards as advertised. So I pulled the second one out of the box and it also would not focus down to 10 yards.

I focused the eyepieces so that the reticles were in focus and tried the parallax adjustment but my targets would not come into focus. ADD: I tried focusing at 8 and 32 magnification.

I contacted Melissa at Sun Optics and she quickly emailed me a return label so that the scopes could be checked out as they should focus down to 10 yards. They received the scopes on 2/06/2018 so hopefully I will hear back from them soon.

Just ordered a 3-9x32 Tri-Rail Tactical scope for $39.00. Hopefully it's worth a try.

I at first thought the same thing about no scope magnifications listed. But you have to scroll down for that info.

Saltysteve · « **Reply #51 on:** February 11, 2018, 11:21:26 PM »

If i was going to get a bugbuster... should i not and get one of these?
Is the quality comparable or better for the money?

The scope magnifications are the last few numbers in the parts number. I have the TAC IV 30mm Tactical Scope, part number CS27-83250 and those last 5 numbers are the size of scope: 8-32x50

I got one of those and it’s pretty clear. Got some butler creek covers for it, but haven’t mounted it because the gun is still getting its tune.

Taso,
Did you get the scopes back yet? Am thinking of purchasing one of these that focuses below 20 yards. The only other one in the 50mm or above may be the 3x12x50 (does not say on website). All the other large objectives say down to 20 yards.

Taso1000 · « **Reply #55 on:** February 17, 2018, 04:30:02 PM »

I have not heard anything back from them. I did buy an Air A Tac 8-32x that does focus down to 10 yards but it is now discontinued. The other 6-24x's I bought will not focus down to 10 yards but they weren't supposed to.

I will send another follow up email requesting a status. I will keep everyone updated.

Thanks,

Taso

I have an update from Sun optics on the 2 Long Range TAC 30MM W/BUBBLE LEVEL - CS2983263 scopes that I returned because they would not focus down to 10 yards.

Their response was:

Quote

On the scopes you returned that particular size will not focus below 20 yards because of the large objective.

Before I ordered them the sales person and her engineer assured me that they would focus down to 10 yards at 32 magnification.

They offered me a different scope or a refund and I opted for the refund. I think I will pick up the 20x Super Sniper scope that I've always wanted.

Thanks,

Taso

Just out of curiosity, why do you need a scope to focus at 32 power at only 10yds?
