    will,
    I just have one word to say on this, NO!!!!! Cripes man, who ever would spend 300.00 on a Tasco? Not me buddy. I just got a Leupold VariXII for 210.00, brand new off ebay. What are you going to use this type of magnification for? 40x is better than what you need for a spotting scope man. You shooting 1,000 yds. or something? You must be getting bored to be shooting those yotes in Arizona all the way from Palms.

    Hell, the Taco Bell in town has them for 79 cents.

    Oh, you said Ta(S)cos? Nevermind.

    But it's got gadgets, like this.........
    8-40x56 30mm tube, side focus parallax adjustment, target style adjustment knobs
    Mil-Dot reticle
    includes two 3" stackable sun-shades. They call it the super sniper. I like being able to see the color of a varmint's eyes 'fore I dust 'em.

    These are not your average Tasco.
    They are built very closely along the lines of the Tasco SS scopes.
    They are worth $299.
    Not $599.

    Everything in Palm Springs is overpriced, like that stainless guide gun for $750.
