Vector Optics Tauron Compact HD 4-16x44 FFP 34mm Scope (SCFF-79)
£230.00
All the Tauron seriousness, just less of it sticking out the front.
The Tauron Compact HD is for shooters who want proper long-range features without strapping a small telescope to their rifle. It keeps the full-fat PRS-style functionality but trims the size and weight enough to make sense on real-world setups, especially air rifles and lighter centrefire or rimfire builds.
The VTA-3 MIL first focal plane reticle scales correctly through the magnification range, because guessing holdovers is not a personality trait. A 0.04MIL centre dot keeps aiming precise, while the 6-gear illumination makes sure the reticle doesn’t vanish the moment the light drops or the target goes dark. Simple, effective, no disco mode.
Optically, the LaREE HD lanthanide glass punches above its size. Fully multi-coated lenses deliver sharp contrast and solid light transmission, even with the more compact 44mm objective. Mechanically, this is very much a Tauron. 1/10MIL turrets with audible, tactile clicks, a proper zero stop with revolution indicator, and a locking windage turret so your zero stays where you left it. Revolutionary concept, really.
With a 34mm tube pushing up to 42MIL of elevation, this scope has more adjustment than most people will ever need, but you’ll be glad it’s there when you do. Compact, capable, and built for shooters who actually dial their turrets instead of just admiring them.

Scope Mounts Not Included - Read Before Buying
Not all scopes come with mounts – and that includes many Vector Optics models. Why? Because there’s no such thing as a “one-size-fits-all all” mount. Barrel diameter, rail type, and clearance all matter. That’s why we ask you to choose your mounts when adding a Vector Optics scope to your cart.

When you buy a scope and matching mounts together, we’ll knock £15 off your Vector Optics mount – because good glass deserves the right hardware.

A Few Things You Really Need to Know:
- We can advise, but you are ultimately responsible for choosing the right mounts.
-
If in doubt, go for high mounts – they’ll generally give you more breathing room and avoid contact with the barrel or shroud.
-
95% of scope issues we see are down to poor mounting, not the scope itself. Wobbly zero? Misalignment? That’s on the mounts.
You wouldn’t bolt a car engine in with guesswork – don’t do it with optics either.
Didn’t Select Mounts?
If you don’t pick mounts, we’ll chuck in a basic pair – but they may not fit your setup, and we’re not responsible if they don’t. This is a polite (ish) reminder that reading the above and selecting your mounts is very much part of the process.
In short: read, choose, and mount properly. Or accept the consequences – and don’t say we didn’t warn you.
