If you are looking for a versatile rifle scope that performs excellently for both airsoft and air rifle shooting, then this Taurus Gen II is an interesting option. With a magnification range from 3x to 18x and a 50mm objective lens, you get a clear image even in challenging lighting conditions. This rifle scope is built for durability and precision, without having to pay a premium price.

Our opinion of this rifle scope

The Shogun team is impressed by the build quality of this Vector Optics. It feels robust with its aluminium housing, and the lockable turrets with zero-stop function are a real advantage – no more accidental adjustments during transport. The glass-etched MPX1 reticle on the first focal plane always remains sharp, regardless of the magnification you use.

Technology and optical performance

With a magnification of 3-18x and an objective diameter of 50 mm, this rifle scope offers an excellent balance between overview and detail. The 30 mm tube diameter ensures sufficient light transmission, while the fully multi-coated lenses deliver a bright and high-contrast image. The MPX1 reticle is glass-etched on the first focal plane (FFP), which means the proportions are always correct for range estimation.

With an adjustment range of 29 MIL for elevation and 25 MIL for windage, you have more than enough adjustment options. The eye relief is comfortably between 85-90 mm, and with a weight of 849 grams, this scope is solid but not too heavy. The IP67 certification guarantees waterproofing up to 1 metre deep for 30 minutes.

Mounting and compatibility

This rifle scope has a 30 mm tube diameter, which means you need standard 30mm mounting rings. These are widely available and fit almost all Picatinny and Weaver rails found on modern airsoft replicas and air rifles. Please note: the mounting rings are not included, so order these separately if you do not already have them.

The robust aluminium construction makes this scope suitable for use on powerful air rifles and even firearms, should you have a licence. The lockable turrets with 1/10 MIL clicks provide precise and repeatable adjustments.

Who is this rifle scope intended for?

This Taurus Gen II is ideal for the serious sports shooter seeking flexibility. Whether you are shooting at 25 metres with an air rifle or at 100+ metres during an airsoft milsim event, the wide magnification range has you covered. The zero-stop function and the FFP reticle make it especially interesting for those who want to delve into precision shooting and ballistic calculations. Beginners can also use it, but will truly benefit from all the features as they gain more experience.
