Target Scope 02 steel tip darts have tapered-nose 90% tungsten barrels. Inspired by photographic equipment, the design combines radial grooves at the front with nano grooves towards the rear. Sandblasting, black PVD coating and red flecks give the barrel its matte finish.
Supplied with 26.00mm smooth Swiss Points and a Swiss Point tool. Target’s patented taper-and-thread locking system allows compatible points to be changed with the tool. These Swiss Point barrels accept Target Swiss Points or compatible Harrows Quick Points. Use the tool specified for the point fitted and check the exact point/barrel combination.
The short 34.00mm Pro Grip Tag shafts are moulded from a nylon compound and include a nib by the shaft petals and O-rings. Their moulded 2BA thread is compatible with 2BA-thread barrels.
No.6 Pro Ultra Scope flights complete the set. The 100-micron flights have a spot-UV print coating.
On Point verdict
Scope 02 is worth a look if you prefer front-loaded weight and a tapered nose. Front radial grooves and rear nano detail give you two contact patterns to compare, with a matte finish across the design. Check whether your leading finger sits on the taper or behind it, as that can change which section feels natural.
