Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Optics New spotting scope from Kowa - TSN 66

Great scope. I’m out of town till Tuesday and will chime in when I’m back. Call the store and talk to Neil or Jeff 516-217-1000 and tell them I said they’d hook you up

Msrp at 3k?

I have a Kowa Prominar TSN-884

Awesome glass!!!

53 oz

🤔

Nice. I’ll take 3!!

I was really looking forward to the 66, but after reading/watching reviews I’ll take the 6oz penalty and keep the 77.

This new amazing scope is part of our extended July 4th sale through midnight tonight

If it's possible what percentage is this better than a 664m with the 30x wide angle? 10%? 30%?

No comparison. Camaro vs Corvette

Ok 773 vs 66?

Question.
What percentage of the higher priced glass is used in the Prominar model scope, and where is it located?
Does the eyepiece have the more expensive glass also?
Or are the eyepieces the same glass in all models?
Did you compare a prominar model with a regular model on the same day looking at the same things?

Unless things have recently changed in the manufacturing of all brands of scopes,
only the inner element of the objective lens will have the higher priced glass.
All other glass used in the scopes will be the regular glass, as will the eyepieces.
Advertising laws permit scope makers to (imply) that scopes have the more expensive glass, even though only a small percentage of it is actually used in the scopes.
It is not as durable in standing up to abuse as the standard glass, which is why it is used only in the location it is used.
