Thanks for the comments. Your opinions seem universal. Seems as if BSA would get the word? Did a little research on the Winchester. Their prices look good and you get a box??? Ha!

Winchester riflescopes are marketed by Vanguard USA. The scope is made in Red China. They claim it is a quality scope, but there isn't any solid evidence yet.

I guess that the breaking point is Tasco, that is, there seems to be some satisfaction out there, but I am not going to buy.

I have had VERY good luck with Bushnell - and NOT the Elite- although it is excellent from what I have been told. The Trophy is an excellent scope. Bushnell has a new line called LEGEND. It costs just a little more than the Trophy, and my guess is that it is a pretty good scope.

Although I know that the Leupold is super-good-excellent, I am a little surprised that they felt the need to come out with the RIFLEMAN. I am a little suspicious of them. I would start with a VX-1.
