Tasco World Class Scope
 

What do yall think of the Tasco World Class Scope? I know its not the best but for the money I think its pretty good. Opinions? Thanks!

The only thing worse than Trashco is Simmons! For a few $$$ more you can get a lot better scope! Nikon, Luepy or even a Bushnell.

Dont know about the new tasco world class but the older ones were descent scopes got two one on a rem 788 in 222 that's been on their for over 30 years and one on a savage 24 20 ga/22 mag since the late 60s early 70s. One problem with the one on the savage fogged up inches about 25 years ago sended it back and they fixed it. Never a problem again. They are on guns that are used a lot and hold up.

My first Tasco did good for about 4 years. When it did break, it did it at the range and thankfully not on a hunt. They did replace it in about 3 months, but the replacement wouldn't hold zero from the start. As far as the Simmons, it broke within a couple of seasons and to make it worse, it took me several attempts to even speak to a live person on the phone! Get the best you can afford! Good glass is worth the money.

Don't go cheap on your optics. It's really worth spending a little more for a decent scope. Nikon, Leupold, Vortex, and Burris all make good affordable scopes.

Nice line-up of scopes: I would add Bushnell and certainly there are a few others.

Buy it once.........................

Japan manufactured ( older ) Tasco scopes are quite good.

Yes they were. I have one of the old ones. When I'm having issues and want to determine if it's scope related, I put on that old Tasco. These days its purely used as a backup or testing scope. Optically, it isn't as clear or bright as my Leupys, Zeiss or Nikons but it sure as hell holds its zero.

If you think they are pretty good, then stick with them. I will not have any hunt rely on a $50 Chinese made POS. The older Japanese Tasco's were good scopes, but I don't think they were labeled World Class like the new ones.

The tasco world class's I have or over 30 years old pushing 40 and are labeled world class. At one time the world class series were the top.of the line tasco. Don't know about the newer ones but the older ones were.descent scopes for the money.

I know I spend a lot more money on hunting than some do, and I also know that I don't spend a fraction of what some others do! I also used to think that I was a "frugal" hunter, that spending extra $$$ for better scopes was insane!............
Then, I had a couple of scopes fail! I got to adding up everything I spend a year on hunting! Licenses, ammo, clothes etc. Then think of the unseen $$$ that goes into hunting, traveling, scouting, building stands, clearing lanes, etc. etc. etc.
All of a sudden, a quality scope doesn't sound all that expensive!
I am not saying that you have to spend 1000+$$$ and I'm not saying that a quality scope will never break!
I am saying get the best that you can! With costs these days, that 100 dollar scope won't even cover the lens coatings and quality control costs of a good scope!

P.S.Not to mention, we owe it to the fine game that we hunt to use the best and be the best that we can reasonably be!

My expereince with a Tasco "World Class" ... let's just say I will not buy another, at any price. A "cheap" scope is not the way to go if you can at all help it. Try to gather up $250 or so and look into a Leupold, Vortex , Burris , Nikon or Bushnell in that price range.
