I know what you're thinking. "Did he fire six shots or only five?"
Well, to tell the truth I shoot a Springfield XD so it doesnt really matter.

Depends on which scope.  The Japanese made "Super Snipers" from SWFA are escellent scopes for the money.  Too bad they don't offer a 5X instead of the too powerful 30MM 10X.

Yep, I have two old ones and they are great.  I bought a new 6X18 (or something like that) and the windage and elevation knobs siezed up when sighting it in.  I exchanged it  for a Bushnell Trophy which has worked out very well.  Most all the guys on the gun forums agree, Tasco has gone down the crapper.

POS!!!!

 I had the 3-9x40 mounted on my NEF .270Win and when I shot of a sandbag/bipod rest the scope BROKE IN HALF just in front of the zoom ring! As I'd already made the mistake of tossing the receipt and box (bad idea I know now) I couldn't return it and frankly was so ticked I diddn't want to bother. Although it now makes a great display to study the inner workings of a riflescope lol.

I read a lot of posts about how good a company Bushnell is, even the low end stuff, I have a ledgend that I think is great.  So now that Tasco is owned by Bushnell would it follow that the QC might be better?  I don't know.  I was thinking of buying a Tasco 2.5x10 varmint scope for my mini 14 ranch, I like the Mil dot.  will it hold zero?  They say they have fully coated lens. 
What do you think?
