They look cool but that's about all I know.  They were sold by tasco but made in China.  I think they have the aspherical lenses like the Simmons Aetec but not sure.  Bushnell was going to cover tasco warranties but I'd bet my money on a big hassle if you tried to make them honor it.  The EXP was the top of the line Tasco above the World Class models at the time before tasco went belly up.  In short, a Chinese scope that looks cool but didn't sell long enough to catch on.

Moose,
If I remember correctly those scopes were advertised to have 96% light transmision. That puts it up there with a Niko Monark or Burris ff II. Don't have any personal knowledge other that I thought they looked kinda neat when they came out, but they didn't stay on the market long before they dissapeared. If you got a good deal on it, give it a whirl!

I was going to say.....the scope is nothing to rave about, but if mounted on a little .22, and given that you paid only $8 for it, you should be fine.

I would not put it on anything but a 22. But for that matter, I would not even of bought it. My 22 wears a Leupold.  :D

Well, at least you only wasted $8 bucks!

Seriously.....these scopes are not highly thought of by many people....that isn't to say you might have one that will serve your purpose.......

Generally, these scopes just don't hold up.....the first problem you'll likly encounter is point of impact shifting.........

really, I wouldn't expect much for $8.........
