Post by: jackelope on February 22, 2011, 10:16:14 AM: Tasco by reputation is junk.
What model is it and what caliber of rifle are you going to put it on?

I would not own one. I would save your money. If you want a decent scope for cheap look into the banners by bushnell. In fact I have one I will pm you about.

Check this site out.

Buy the cheapest 3-9x Bushnell at Wally World and it will be a better scope for about the same money.

Post by: BIGINNER on February 22, 2011, 10:52:50 AM: i have a bushnell 3-9x40 that my rifle came with, i'm guessing that i'm better off sticking with it for a while :)

Post by: jackelope on February 22, 2011, 10:55:05 AM: Have you ever shot a rifle with a 32x scope stuck to the top of it?
Picture a rifle with a telescope on top. Why do you want to change?

Post by: Woodchuck on February 22, 2011, 10:58:01 AM: :iamwithstupid: The scope on my primary rifle goes up to 16x and it is too high for practical use on big game. 12x is about as high as i would go on a deer/elk rifle. 32x maybe on a bench gun, not a hunting rifle :twocents:

:yeah:

My primary predator guns all have 4.5-14 mil-dots on them and my big game rifles have either 3-9s or 4-12s.

Post by: jackelope on February 23, 2011, 11:00:42 AM: This rifle has the 6-18x Bushnell Banner scope on it. It's a decent scope for the money but I still say it's a clunker of a scope. You can see how big it is...
