SIG SAUER TAC2
Posted May 19, 2023
The SIG Sauer TAC2 is one of the most advanced 1-8X variable power scopes available and is favored by many for its versatile capabilities, dependable craftsmanship, and affordability. At just over eight inches in length and weighing in at a mere 15 ounces, the TAC2 is the perfect pairing for both carbines and short-barrel rifles. Its large 30mm optic tube and index matched lenses make it a reliable and powerful zoom scope that can be used in a variety of shooting disciplines, providing both wide field of view and a larger, brighter sight picture. But what makes the TAC2 stand apart from its competitors is the attention to detail and features it brings in terms of tactical use.
The 1-8X power range is perfect for close to mid-range engagements, and the dual illuminated reticle combines the greatest of both worlds; an etched glass center dot to maintain aim if the battery fails, and a fiber-optic illuminated center dot for optimal visibility in all light conditions. The reticle also features the versatile TMR (Tactical Milling Reticle) which allows you to quickly range targets without having to convert holdover points. The combination of the reticle and generous elevation and windage adjustment allows for easy target acquisition and corrections for any shooter.
In addition to being packed full of features, the TAC2 is made to stand the test of time and is proven to withstand the toughest shooting conditions. Its rugged construction is what sets it apart from the competition. The aluminum body is anodized with a matte black finish and has the perfect balance of weight and shock resistance. The scope is purged with nitrogen and o-ring sealed so it remains both dry and waterproof. The turrets and lens assembly are capped with an aggressive knurling pattern so they can be easily utilized even when wearing gloves.
Furthermore, the TAC2 has all the features and capabilities that any shooter could need when operating in the field or at the range. It has an adjustable illumination/night vision setting, giving shooters the ability to accurately acquire targets in both bright and low-light. It also features a home position on the power ring, so adjustments can be easily made and reset to the original setting. Furthermore, it has a TRUGLO fiber-optic front focal plane illumination that provides a clear sight picture in low light. It also comes with a sunshade, which is especially useful when shooting in bright conditions and helps to reduce glare.
But really, where the SIG Sauer TAC2 truly stands apart is its intuitive design. Unlike many other scopes, the TAC2 has an intuitive zeroing and adjustment system that makes setting the scope up a breeze. Furthermore, the zero stop has a convenient and easy elevation stop that allows the shooter to easily return to his/her zeroed setting after making scans and shooting. The adjustments are also positive and clicky which makes tracking range compensation faster and more accurate.
Overall, it is easy to see why the SIG Sauer TAC2 is one of the most popular scopes on the market. It combines a plethora of features and a rugged body with intuitive, user-friendly design. Whether you are looking for a scope for tactical scenarios or range use, the TAC2 has everything needed to enhance your shooting experience. Its top-of-the line performance coupled with its exceptional reliability and affordability make it an excellent choice that will serve shooters well for many years to come.
