The Japan tascos are fair not as good as Nikon by no means, but you can find them cheap, make sure
is says made in japan.......I bought one 2 mos ago yard sale 6X18 model # 1016 good shape I paid
$40 I think is a good deal, I never found and good ones for $20 or $30..I put this one on a 10-22
the other day that I traded my cousin 2 broke guitars for, it's perfect for that kinda gun.....
If you find them at yard sales in good shape buy 'em you can always sling 'em on something.....
it's hard to beat a $40 scope that works, china don't make any that work for 4 times that price.
I believe I'd rather have an old tasco that a low end bushnell, does that make sence???
