I've owned three of these scopes and i must say that the quality is outstanding for the money, this is probably one of the best value scope's you can buy.
I've owned Swat 4-16x56 scopes, Bushnell Trophey's,various Simmons, Hawkes, Nikko Sterlings, Falcons, and at present a MTC Viper 3-12x44, the Tasco Varminter will give them all a run for their money!
I'm not for one moment saying that the Tasco optics are on a par with the best of these scopes, but for general pest control it can certainly hold it's own against them.
If your looking for a decent budget scope for a sub 12 ft/lb rifle, and you want it for hunting/pest control, then look no further.
