Are Tasco scopes any good

Answer 1

Like anything, you get what you pay for. Tasco manufactures a variety of scopes of different quality. While cheaper scopes may not be of the best quality, the better quality scopes (more expensive) are comparable to other manufacturers' products.

Not everyone can afford a Leupold, Bushnell, Swarovski, or Nikon scope. But even these three high end optics manufacturers have "bottom of the barrel" offerings much like the lower end Tasco products. You just have to know what it is you are shopping for.

There is a good tutorial for choosing the right optics for your weapon linked below. The best advice is to learn what you can, shop around, and choose the best scope you can afford.

The fact though is that the better the shooter, the less he has to rely on add ons. Some of the best shooters in the world can drive nails at a hundred yards with iron sights.
