Unbelievably Tough Tasco!!

[spenom]

Wow I have always figured Tasco for a cheaper more breakable scope. You can see the scope says tasco on it in a few of the shots in the video. This video shows one being shot by a .308 and the bullet not making it through the scope. Pretty neat at the very least! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9As6AMGifSY&NR=1

Old japanese Tasco's were essentially bomb-proof. Not sure I'd trust one nowadays.

yeah cannot say I would trust one to stop a bullet headed for my eye either but the video amazed me!

The Tasco Titan line were very good scopes...

I like that video, I didn't realize they were using Tasco's. I've got a Tasco on my pellet gun, seems to have held up quite well

Tasco, like any brand, can sell you a scope as good as you want, because if they spend enough on it, the manufacturers they get them from can make a scope as good as anything. But no one is going to Tasco for Leupold toughness or Swarovski clarity, so they don't get those things built into a Tasco. So Tasco sells cheap scopes, because there is a big enough, profitable segment of the market that wants cheap.

The appropriate evaluation of toughness is in the actual application as an optic.

How full-of-s**t to you have to be to refer to someone's head as a "brain housing group?"

Or do you just have to be USMC-ret?

I caught that too. Sounds retarded.
