I had two. some people have good luck but I did not. I put one on a 22-250 and it would not hold zero anymore after 20 shots. The other is on my brothers 17 HMR and is starting to do the same. My advice is to spend the extra 100 bucks fore something better.

At this time Im not looking to spend as much on a scope as I did on the .22 it's going on to. :D
 
seen a guy with one one his 300 win mag . it was workin well for him . i was totally amazed.
 
I had this scope for a while, was never that impressed with the optics quality. But they are situated as a budget/value priced scope, so it may work out for you.

Before buying, I would recommend heading to a local gun shop and give em a look through and compare to some other brands, see what you like.

No one local carries it
 
Well I went searching around the net and 99% of the reviews were good. The biggest complaint is that at 24x power it's not clear but it's fun up to 20x. What can you expect for a $100 scope I guess... certainly allot better than the cheap $40 NcStar I've got on the gun right now which seems to be holding zero but I guess it's just a matter of time before it craps out....

Mainly I'm looking for a scope that is decent, better than 9x magnification, and doesn't cost more than the gun it's going on! :D
 
Or you could go up one more to the Trophy, down a bit in top magnification but get one with AO for $100 more. (around $300)
 
I feel for you drache. It is hard to find a cheaper scope with target knobs and AO. I looked high and low when I bought my 17. Another thing I did not like about the 6-24 Tasco is on 6 power even with the AO all the way down it did not clear up on a gopher that is as close as 10-15 yards. But like you say it is a 100 dollar scope and a guy can live with the minor flaws for that price.
 
Shop the EE for something used. You will NEVER regret getting good optics. If what you have is holding zero your better off with that and saving for something decent.
There are lots of older scopes of awessome quality for sale.
Spend at least as much as the rifle if buying new.

Life is too short for crap optics.
