This is an excellent long range tactical type scope for the money. It is
definitely Bushnell quality and has easy adjustment control. The bonus light
shields make the useability of this scope highly efficient for daylite till
dark lighting differences regardless of aiming direction. The scope looks
good mounted on any long range rifle and once you zero it in for your personal
use; You will be impressed at tight patterns it makes possible for you to fire.
I recommend this scope to any serious shooter who wishes to shoot further than
you think you can.
Signed: Well Pleased

I don't know why I'm being asked to rate this scope. I bought it long time ago, and I thought it was too late to have anything to say about it. But I sure like the invitation ... so I'll say somethin'.

It's great!!! All I own are Tasco scopes!, they're so good. And my son told me the Gov'''ment bought scopes for the Navy Seals a few years back and they bought Tasco scopes. So it's gotta be a good scope or someone's buyin' them guys off again 'cause they sure didn't buy them because they're cheap ... the Gov'''ment has 'nuff money they can buy anything they want. Well I like it. The focus is great, and it don't jiggle around after shootin' my 243 a bunch o' times, so it's always in focus. It works whether or not I wear my glasses ... in fact, It's so big I can find it without wearing my glasses. And the wide field of view is great too 'cause I can hook a Maglite to the stock of any of my rifles with a little Velcro and go out night-shootin' in the woods, or anywhere for that matter, and I can see everything just fine as far as a bullet will go. Moon or no moon, the coons don't have a chance, and I don't have to buy one of those fancy and expensive infrared night-vision thingies.

Oh!!! ... I gotta go 'cause all this talk about shootin' is givin' me the urge to go out and shoot somethin' ... anything ... and it's darn near supper time -- lickin' my chops at the idea of makin' me a coon caserol tonight. But one more thing ... the size of this thing is great also 'cause it's a safety feature ... it's so big and powerful that you know when yer lookin' down it yer not goin' to shoot yerself; and anything else you accidentally shoot will be so far off you'll have lots of time to run off and hide somewhere.

More seriously, I have two rifles set up as sniper rifles ... more customarily referred to as varmint rifles, with no particular reference to the size and weight of the varmint. If you can't put multiple, sequential holes in a circle the size of a quarter at 150 yards, it wont be the fault of this scope. And I do really strap a 3-watt LED flashlight to my rifles and go out at night. There's plenty of light for the crosshairs so you wont need one of those scopes with lighted reticles. And all game, large of small, just stands there and looks into your light like a deer in the headlights.

I have used several different scopes over my many years of hunting and shooting. I have other Tasco scopes and are somewhat pleased with them. However, this scope IS NOT the of quolity I expected. The adjustment towers are not centered or straight in the housing and they are NOT crisp. I didnt expect the optics to be crystal clear at 40 power, but it is well below what I feel is good. I would reccomend to buy a different brand in the same power settings even if they cost more.

i can honestly tell you your going to find this scope tough to beat at any price,i have it mounted on my remington sps varmint chambered in .308 and shoot it quite often,i have nailed milk jugs with water at 100,200,300,all the way out past 500 yrds.sight pic is crystal clear easy ,controls
, very user friendly

This is the third tasco 10x40x50mm target scope I have used to punch paper with on 22 calbier rifles. The only thing that would make this scope better is side focus. But the side focus usally cost $100.00 more. Simply put this is the best value on the market for rimfire paper punching.

wrong reticle moa dot USUALLY consists of more than ONE DOT most people like moa dots better than mil dots for the simplicity the product description is not as descriptive as should be

If you are buying it for looks than go for it, for function you will end up very disappointed it starts to fail on the rings and the eye relief is crap... I ended up putting a 308 bullet through mine after i got a CenterPoint replacement scope 1-16x from walmart for $60, & have never had any issues. P.S The 308 Bullet @ full load FMJ @ 40 yards went through the entire scope with a full load with a muzzle of 3100fps 155 grain went through this scope despite what myth-busters have showed on their show a full load will go right through a full sized scope

A very nice scope for the money.Dialed in nicely and has stayed there. Pretty good clarity. I am very happy with this scope. The seller was also a pleasure to do business with !

The worst riflescope I ever had, definitely quality has a Price and this is a cheap one. You can have a relative good view among 10x to 18x; with more zoom the image looks cloudy and if the scope is not perfectly aligned you can't see more than a cloudy light
