[QUOTE="petersonb, post: 1056442, member: 10156"] I also have the $50 setup (Tasco 3-9x50mm) and it is very impressive. I have extensive experience with quality optics (Nikon, Leupold, etc...) and the Tasco provides very comparable performance for a small fraction of the cost. A lot of people here are bashing the Tasco, and I guess I would expect that from the gun enthusiasts here on OSA. Here is my suggestion: Go to Walmart, buy the Tasco 3-9x50mm scope and rings, install it on whatever rifle you want (for the purpose of this thread, I will suggest .22lr) and try it at the range just once. If you don't agree that it's a very good scope for $50 for use on a .22, then put it back in the package and take it back to Walmart. No harm done. Until someone actually tries a Tasco 3-9x50mm scope, I think people should stop talking poorly of them. Optics have come a long way in the last several years. -Brad [/QUOTE]
