Counterfeit Tasco on fleabay

[zh127]

I've had the same experience, optics were clear, mil dot was accurate, and clicks were good, however they turned in the opposite direction to what the arrow said, for example when turning the turret to bring POI up, it would actually bring the POI down.

Again ya get what ya pay for!

Don't buy anything from China is a pretty good starting point. I'ts a b*tch but the saying 'you get what you pay for' is normally true, for me anyway lol.

I'm chugging around on a Chinese copy of a Honda, third of the price so I can chuck it away when it starts to fall apart but I'll steer clear of wonky scopes.

I was daft enough to buy one of these scopes from a company called "Soldsmart" advertising on ****, on using the scope the turret fell off!, this after 30 to 50 shots.
As you have all stated E bay did not really want to know, (do they ever?).The way i got round it was to warn the seller, that I would intercept every single bidder on these scopes and warn them they would be better off strapping a coke bottle to their gun.
This did the trick i warned at least 20 prospective buyers.
Soldsmart also charge an extortionate £12 delivery on their shoddy goods.
They refunded me, and asked me to return the scope, (which i had since binned) I sent an E mail back requesting a cheque for £12 to cover postage, aint heard nothing since

well ive bought one too,6-24x50 tasco free mounts etc to be honest cant fault it yet, put it on a springer and gave it bit of stick,tried it on 22lr and it seemed ok its on my 17hmr now it seems to hold bang on[ and i havnt banged my head or anything] so we will just have to see ,i too thought ide just take chance and see ive got some pretty expensive glass on other kit but 24mag tasco copy or not its doing ok so far not that they all will ,but for under £50 posted its fine if anything changes post in the reviews section.

Tasco have never had there own factory or made anything,It is a brand name!
In the early days there stuff was decent and made by optical light warehouse or HAKO in Japan.
It has changed owners numerous times in the past few years.
The Yanks now call the brand Trashco because quite frankley thats what it is.

All low brand Bushnell and tasco are the same item cheap S***.

I had a 2.75x40 Japan made tasco in the early 80's excellent quality as as are the World Class and similar ilk.

Check out Chuck Hawkes web site, he will tell you all about it!!!!!
