In my humble opinion Tasco's are junk. They don't hold zero, they fog and they Can't gather light worth a darn. If you haven't used a better scope then you don't have anything to compare them with. I have a couple of Leopold's two Nikon Monarch's and while they are great scope's they aren't any better than the Simmons ATEC. I won't buy anything else anymore. I have hunted w/ my ATEC's now for three years, in the rain, snow,early morning and late evening. They gather light as well as the higher end glass. I am real pleased with their performance and surprised with the clarity. If you buy an Atec you'll be pleased with your investment.
