Thread: Identifying and unknown spotting scope

I've still got my Kowa TSN-1 which in its time was the primo scope. Only issue is it's not waterproof but was semi protected by a cover with zip open ends for the lenses.
I have 30x an 25x (bayonet) lenses. In my fullbore days I just used the 25x which is their long eye relief lens. I didn't have to get my eye right up to the lens to view my shots.
With the 25x I could see bullet holes (with good light) no problems, at 300 yards in the black or white.
My previous scope had a selection of lenses up to iirc, 50x. Although Japanese, the poorer optics meant that the higher powered lenes were useless and I ran that on 30x. This is still the case today with the cheaper spotters on the market.
The latest Kowa Fluorite scopes are up at the very top but are also very expensive. Bird watchers salivate over Kowa scopes :-)
