Tasco Tactical or Super Sniper, What did I end up with?

[RangerRick]

Part of a package I bought included a scope, sold as new, attached to the rifle.
It is a 10X42 c/w 30 mm tube, identical in evey way to a Super Sniper 10X42mm. However the only difference is that it is labelled "Tasco" in white on the objective, as well as "10X42" in the same area.

It has the plain white box known to Super Sniper, except it has all the correct Tasco labelling. The manual is Tasco as well, with a publication date on the back cover of July 2000. All warentee cards and info was included, but date back to the aforementioed manual.

Now I do know that SWFA bought out the rights from Tasco, and continues to market the SuperSniper.

I guess my question is, could this have been picked up at a swap meet or estate sale, will the warentee still be ok, and does this unit have the same known reliabilitty as the Super Sniper?

Any thoughts and comments are appreciated.

I had to get my SS repaired, they will do the warranty but you have to deal with a compnay in FL. Your right in assuming that SWFA bought out the SS contract. Either way its a excellent scope and reapirs should not be a problem. However I do recall in my case that once the scope gets up in age, repairing may not be a option. I believe that as part of the acquisition they were to honour the warranty work for a period of time. This is all to the best of my knowledge.You may be able to find some "FYI" at the Sniper Country website.
