Well I see that I am in the minority when it comes to scopes. I don't have anything against the Bushnells or Leupolds. I have had Tascos for 24 years, 3-9 x 40mm, and have never had one fail me. Of course maybe when I got them they were better built. Don't know about any newer Tascos. I have all of my topped off with Butler Creek Blizzard see through scope covers. Since I am reluctant to let go of money, I stick with the Tasco scopes. Not that I can afford the high dollar scopes...being married with two boys I don't have the luxury of buying the higher dollar scopes. So for someone watching a budget, you can't beat Tasco scopes.

Now my son has a Nikon scope and this year it fogged up on him. On the inside, so now it is off to the factory for refurbishing.
