Tasco??

I have a Tasco 2-7x32 World Class Black Powder Scope on my CVA Hunterbolt 50 cal muzzleloader.  It is amazing how bright and clear these scopes are for the price range. This scope has been on that gun for three years without a hiccup.  It has about 500 shots on it as of now...The World Class scope that you have on that rifle should be fine although you didn't mention what caliber you are shooting.  I might be a little leary if the gun is a .375 H&H Magnum.

Nothing wrong with a Tasco as long as she hold zero and hits where ya point her I'd leave well enough alone.
I've got a couple Tasco scopes and have not had a problem yet.

The original Tasco WC scopes were really quite good and solid scopes. Toward the end they cheapened them drastically and if it is one of those not made in Japan I'd ditch it and buy a better scope. But then with that 50MM objective I'd ditch it anyway as they mount too high for natural head placement on stock and I just don't use them to hunt deer.
