I don't think it is a fair comment to suggest it is a 'rip off'.
Tasco were not a manufacturer, they were a US based distributor of products which had been branded for them, much as Optima were in this country.
So this scope would have been made by a manufacturer in Japan, probably Hakko and badged up for whoever ordered them.
People who have been there focus on the fundamentals. People who sit at keyboards all day focus on the trivial and inane.
