What do you want for this gun? PM me if you'd like. I really like these things. Also, is this the one that has the 209 conversion or does it take #11 caps.

That being said, I own what I assume to be the same Tasco and mine is also on my muzzle loader. It cost me $30 at Walmart and it's the Bucksight model. I bought it about 3.5 years ago as I had never shot a muzzle loader before and I wanted to shot it to see if I liked it before spending a ton on a gun and scope. I also got the gun pretty cheap. To my surprise it had better glass than the Leupold VX-I I put on my main hunting rifle earlier that year. In the daylight I couldn't tell a difference but two friends checked it out and they both said it looked clearer to them. In low light, it was slightly better than the Leupold. I was impressed to say the least.

I've also been shooting it for the last 3.5 years and it stays zeroed and has never given me any issues at all or a reason to replace it. I sometimes worry about it just because people talk so horribly about Tasco's and since this is my only muzzle loader it makes me worry about it some as I don't want it to fail me in the field, but like I said, I hate to replace it when it's working perfectly. I've also go several buddies that have also used these scopes and the majority of them have had good luck. 2 of them have had questionable luck. The first one put it on the gun and never could get it sighted in as the gun shot horribly and all over the place. He is normally a great shot. He told me the scope was bad. So I went with him and when he replaced it with a Bushnell and he tried to sight it in. The gun was still shooting all over the place, but he said it was shooting slightly smaller groups than the Tasco, and it shot decently enough for us to get it sighted in enough to hunt with. He was getting about 3" groups at 100 yards this day.

So I question if his really was bad or if it was the gun. I suspect the gun, but I never saw him shoot it with the Tasco, I just know he had a heck of a time getting it sighted in with the Bushnell.

His brother also put one on his gun and it shot great. Same model gun, and scope but for some reason shot a lot better with the same bullets and pellets. He used it for a year and killed some deer. The next year, he shot it and killed a deer. Then he missed a deer, then got another one. Or that's what he told me. He then missed another one. I know this guy, and it's rare that he misses a deer. He never shot it at a target to see what it was doing, but put another scope on as he said he doesn't have faith in Tasco's either. He said after putting the new scope on he never missed a deer, which I've not seen him miss much anyway. So I'm not sure if his is really bad or not since he didn't shoot it at a target, or if it was him shooting.

Those are the only two people I've personally known that have had issues, and the rest of them have had pretty good luck with them.

I'd really like to hear more experiences from people online that have used this particular scope. It seems like I've only read about these a couple of times and they reviews I've seen have been positive. I know more people use them than that as our Walmart sells the heck out of them. Everyone that I've heard bash them just seems to say Tasco sucks in general and hasn't used them. I'm sure they aren't the quality of a $500 scope, but for the price like I said, the one I own and the ones most of my friends own are more than enough for a hunting scope. I just always have that thought in the back of my mind of it failing because of all the complaints online about "Tasco's" in general.
