Product Description

From The Manufacturer

Long-range accuracy is a critical factor when considering a scope for either varmint or target shooting applications. And Tasco Target and Varmint riflescopes are designed to offer dedicated target and varmint shooters precise performance advantages. First and foremost, the entire line shares high-quality, multi-coated optics for crystal-clear, high-resolution images. Large objective lenses deliver impressive brightness, while the 1/4 or 1/8 minute click windage and elevation adjustments make fine-tuning accuracy not only possible but simple. The rugged waterproof, fogproof and shockproof construction ensures that all Tasco Target and Varmint scopes are engineered to meet the exacting demands of the most accurate shooters.

Built to reach out and touch a prairie dog at the most extreme distance, this riflescope features a 30/30 reticle.

• 6-24 variable magnification
• 40mm objective lens
• Black finish
• Fully multi-coated (all air-to glass surfaces have multiple films).

Tech Talk

• What the Numbers Mean: The numbers for each scope tell you the scopeÕs power or magnification rating, whether the magnification can be increased or decreased with a zoom dial, and the diameter of the objective lens. So, a 3-9x40mm is a scope with a variable zoom magnification from 3x to 9x with a 40 millimeter objective lens.
• How Much Magnification: Because high-powered riflescopes have a smaller field-of-view than a lower powered scope, choose your magnification with the distance you will be shooting in mind. Use low power for close shots in brush or deep woods and high power when hunting distant game in the mountains, open fields and prairie.
• Fixed vs. Zoom Magnification: Variable power scopes, or zooms, offer the benefits of high, medium and low powers, all in one scope. Zooms are particularly advantageous in changing light, weather, environmental conditions or geographic locations and when you're hunting different types of game. In short, variables enable the hunter to use the scope under various circumstances--from close-in brush hunting to open range hunting. Fixed or low power scopes are recommended for hunting dangerous game, especially at close range or in dense foliage where a wide field of view is required and where a mistake in distance estimation could have dire consequences.

4.0 out of 5 stars Amazing scope for an amazing price, February 11, 2007

I planned on using this scope for target shooting at 100 yards. Unfortunately the product description at the amazon site was not all that detailed but I took a chance given the great review and the price. It turned out having the parallax setting I was hoping for. In other words you can focus the scope to any distance between 10 yards and infinite so you can get your target clear and parallax free at any range. The clarity of the picture at 100 yards with 24x magnification is amazing. It started raining while I was shooting and I was still able to use the scope effectively and the target remained bright and clear.

The reason why I am giving it 4 stars is that the scope I received is obviously one that was produced before Tasco changed ownership and as I understand it there is no support for this item.

Haven't been able to shoot with this yet but at 15" of snow on the ground it is a little hard to get to the range. The clarity of this scope is excellent and the magnification is great. I would purchase another of these if needed.

FINALLY GOT A SUNNY DAY- NO WIND-TO SIGHT THIS ON MY SAVAGE AXIS .223. MOUNTED EASILY WITH FACTORY RINGS. BTW $35 SCOPE ON COMBO IS THE WORST BUSHNELL I HAVE EVER SEEN. TASCO SCOPE IS AS CLEAR AS MY PENTAX OR SIMMONS...PLUS HAS GOOD ADJUSTMENT SETTINGS I WOULD NOT EXPECT FOR $80. I WAS ABLE TO GET NICKEL GROUPS AT 50YDS. USING A TREE BRANCH (8X) BEFORE THE WIND CAME UP. THIS COMBO IS NOT FOR A TROPHY HUNT-. BUT FOR CALIFORNIA SQUIRRELS/VARMINTS IT SHOULD PROVIDE YEARS OF FUN. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
