RE: Tasco & BSA scopes
I' ve had two Trashcos. Both broke, one at the range and the other one cost me a deer! You could not give me a third one!
You may find a few people who have had good luck with them, but thats just it LUCK!
You can get a bad scope in any brand, but quality and quality control costs money! With good materials and quality control, there is far less chances that a bad scope will ever leave the factory.
You pay more for a cheap scope in the long run, you keep replacing them and that doesn' t even take into account the heartbreak of lost trophies!
I would rather take my chance on a used scope than a cheap new scope!
