Well hate to tell ya bud, but i spent $70 on my tasco mil dot 2.5-10x44 mm scope for my 270win 4 years ago, and it stays zeroed with no problem. The optics are crystal clear because I clean it, and It zooms just fine. The only time it's not "zeroed" is when you switch loads, and everyone should know you have to sight it in again when you do that. Also, I have a bushnell banner 3-9x50mm on my 300wby mag, and it stays zeroed with no problem as well. The optics are crystal clear, and it zooms fine. Guess how much I paid for it.....? $80 I shoot this rifle on the bench alot, and I've never had problems with it. I lock tight my base, and check my rings every so often. The only time it needs re zeroed, is when switching loads as stated above common sense re sight the rifle when you switch loads. It might not be off by much, but it makes a difference when shooting 500+ yds So in my opinion theres nothing wrong with tasco or bushnell, but of course I dont beat my rifles around, drop them in the dirt, or bang them against things on a regular basis either. Theres my 2 cents!
