[QUOTE="Deleted member 48126, post: 1320621"] Sorry, I should have been more specific, Tasco originally developed the fixed 10x for the navy in 1994. After testing they were awarded a contract in 1997. They have been used on the M24 and M40 in Afghanistan, since I have seen them personally from snipers supporting my platoon in Helmand and Farrah province in Afghanistan. (Maybe the fixed 10x was a legacy scope not replaced by the luepolds?) SWFA purchased the rights to the scope from tasco (unsure of when) and starting further developing it into the scopes line we have today. The scopes I've seen have NSNs so they are DOD items. So yes you're correct, not directly from swfa, and definitely not the variable scope, but the origins of the fixed 10x scope have DOD approval for toughness and reliability. OP sorry to digress. It's just a real solid scope is all. That the point I'm trying to make. I understand now that it doesn't fit your requirements. [/QUOTE]
