[QUOTE="Topgun 30-06, post: 687919, member: 28854"] I need to stop on my way through Gillette in three weeks and meet you, as I think I've finally met someone as stubborn as I am, LOL! First, you are a selective reader and want to use just part of what is said to try to prove your point. The Tasco World Class 3-9x50 I have is an old one that was made much better than what they are known for now. It is on a rifle that doesn't get shot more than 3 times a year to verify zero before I take it up north to hunt whitetails where shots are well under 100 yards. The other "go to" rifles that I'm taking out to Wyoming for deer, elk, and antelope this year have various Leupolds on them and I wouldn't even use the name of the other scope in the same sentence with any of them! I'll be using a .243 Sako for antelope with a 4-12x40 VXI, a 25-06 Ruger M77 for deer with a 3-9x40 VXI, and a pre 64 Model 70 Winchester in 30-06 for elk with a 3-9x40 VXII. If I shot anything heavier than 30-06s, I would go up to one of their more expensive models as the guts in a scope are what you're paying for along with the glass. The only reason I use that Tasco is because it was put on that 03A3 when my Dad rebuilt that gun and gave it to me for my first centerfire rifle when I bought property up in northern in 1973 where I can use a rifle here in MI.
