As a rule I pay more for scopes than this example but it shows how low you can go and still shoot well. Six or so years ago I bought six Tasco Pronhorn scopes for 19.95 each. We have been shooting these scopes for those six years on high power rifles from 250 Savage to 300 Win Mag. No problems no change in impact, good clear sharp picture. I would not bet on the Pronhorn variables but those straight 4X are tough as hell. I would take them anywhere. Two of them have been to Canada twice hunting Black Bears. My wife has used one on her 250 Rem classic and its a tack driver. One is on my Brothers Ruger 77 300 Win Mag. He has a couple hundred rounds through it so far but he doesn't hunt much. They have proven themselves to me and I am going to pick up a few more while they are still making them.
