[QUOTE="diriel, post: 460358, member: 26983"] *Puts on Nomex Undies* Ya know what? I have had no less than (3) Tasco 3x9 mil dot scopes. One on a .22LR (yawn), one on a 300wm (500+ rnds and counting), and the last one ended up on a friends 338wm (over 300 rnds and counting). Now, if you want to crank on the knobs like a military deployed sniper, this scope is *NOT* for you!! :) But if you want a very inexpensive, but surprisingly solid hunting scope, this may very well serve your needs! The guy who owns the 338wm likes to shoot out to about 600 yards. He has a plow disk setup on a chain swinger. The weapon is not a bench queen at all, it is his heavy hitter hunting weapon. Am I saying Tasco rules? Heh, NOPERS!!!!! But some days when money is TIGHT you gotta do what you gotta do, so you can afford to go shoot right? I know a lot of scope snobs ( I am sorta guilty myself some days, but wont go into that here ) who Hate Tasco so bad they literally froth at the mouth at the mere mention of one!
