Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Steiner TS740 suitable for reading bullet impacts at 500 yards and beyond?
Absolutely. The TS740's 7–40x magnification range and 60mm objective lens are purpose-built for long-range shooting applications. At maximum magnification, the scope resolves fine detail at extended distances, making it easy to call shots, spot splash, and make windage or elevation corrections without leaving the firing line. Pair it with a quality tripod for the steadiest image at high power.
What type of tripod or mounting system does the Steiner TS740 use?
The Steiner TS740 features a standard 1/4-20 or 3/8-16 tripod mounting thread compatible with the vast majority of photography and optics tripods on the market. For best results at high magnification, a heavy-duty fluid-head or pan-tilt tripod is recommended to minimize vibration and allow smooth panning when tracking targets or game.
How does the TS740 perform in low-light conditions like dawn or dusk hunting?
The 60mm objective lens provides a generous light-gathering aperture, and Steiner's premium multi-coating system maximizes light transmission through the optical path. This results in noticeably brighter, higher-contrast images during the low-light periods most critical to hunters. While no spotting scope replaces true low-light optics like night vision, the TS740 performs well into the last usable minutes of shooting light.
