Odd - many moons ago I had a Tasco 3-9x, also set up on a Remington 788. It was a
243Win. The scope was fine. I shot a few antelope, a few mule deer (multiple hits required), and many many prairie dogs

This setup was one of the most accurate rifles I've ever owned, but honestly, I think the
rifle had a lot more to do with it. Those 788's were tack drivers!
