RE: Tasco & BSA scopes
I say for the money the simmons aetec is a very good scope. I have had one on my 30-06 for years, i have several friends with magnums who use them and have never done nothing but praise em. I have never cared for Tasco or Bushnell.
BSA is not much better but i think they are better than the other two. If your not gonna use the gun a whole lot i would say its ok to try the BSA.
P.S. Try the AETEC
