I'm looking for a little input from anyone with any experience with this Tasco scope. I have the Tasco target/varmint 6-24 x 42 on one of my rifles and it is a great scope for the money, I'm wondering if the 10-40 x 50 would be comparable in performance and quality.
Experience With The Tasco 10-40 x 50 Target Scope?

They can be good or bad. I bought mine used from a shooting buddy, it's on a 22 rimfire & works very well for me.
It is not as clear as my Bushnell 4200's or Weavers but the max range I shoot the .22 is 200m & I can see the bullet holes in target at that distance.

Wow you thought a tasco would handle a 308! Silly silly.
Like you I went cheap and got the 6-24x tasco. Wanted more power so I cheaped out again and got the 10-40x. 40x for less than $200= awesome but I knew it wasn't fantastic glass, but it was going on my 22. I found the exit puple just too small at 40x and very taxing when shooting. I then changed to a BSA sweet 22 6-18 with abit better glass. Again I wanted more power.
I finally spent good money on a Sightron 10-50x after looking though a guy who was shooting with one.Sold all the exrta scopes at a loss
lesson learned.
OMG, now I know why people spend twice as much on there scopes as the rifle!
Honestly, save your money unless you can get the scope for alot less than $200!
Buy a good scope and it will last!

I have the 6-24x on my .223 and it holds zero perfectly. I know that the Tasco's are not even close to high end optics, but it gets the job done for very little $$.
I purchased the 10-40x to put on my 22-250... We'll see how it holds up. Worst case it ends up on my .223 and the 6-24x gets bumped down to one of my .22lr's.

I'm very happy with my Tasco on my 22 rifle for 50 yards. I won't use it on anything bigger though - but for it's purpose it was money well spent.
