CD do they make a similar model spec wise in 20mm tube?
That looks like my next piece of glass but would have to add 300 for new 30mm rings.....

Mate dunno where you buy your rings from but 300is a bit over board.

Yeah I do tend to get carried away now and then.
Just of the opinion to never compromise on rings/bases. If they are shit no matter what glass you have its never gonna be quite right.
I will investigate. Thanks for the link.

20mm isnt a standard ring size
25mm and 30 are

If you come up with a scope that reliably dials for a standard caliber with decent glass for under $300 you would make a shit ton of money

the closest I could recommend would be a redfield.

if you buy a tasco I will laugh at you when it breaks

richard wilhelms scopes and optics. sign up for his news letter and get one of these before tomorro.
their ability to dial is questionable but the LR duplex is good for hold over out to about 400m

if you call him BE POLITE. if you are not he will most likely bite your head off and be Unhelpful
otherwise he is nice and professional to deal with

you do realise 10 years ago was only 2003?

they still made shit scopes then too.
infact all the shit tascos I saw would have been that vintage. if they have gotten worse then holey shit they must be crap now

I have never used them for dialing but they most likely wont be good for that but to call them shit is making them out to be worse then they really are.

I was thinking this morning that Tasco moved everything out of Japan close to 20yrs ago and that's when everything changed.

That sucks....spent close to 300 on a 20 mm Optilock rig for my gat, now looks like i need to get some 30mm to take me to the next level. Oh well something to buy I guess.

I wont be going Tasco thats for sure.....stick to the tried and tested. May cost a bit more but hey your not buying them everyday.

Is that right Ang?

Although you could describe Hideyoshi's failed invasion of Korea in that way.
(go on go wiki it, he was one hell of a leader)

if they are optilock they will be 25mm or one inch. one inch will be fine. scopes are cheeper too. all 30mm scope tubes give you is more adjustment do dial. something you wont need at 500m unless you are shooting a 45apc

optilocks are great you will be well served by them. I do thinks its a shame to spend 1300 on a rifle, close to 300 on rings then want to spend only 300 on a scope.
It allmost deserves better.

It has taken me longer then it should have to know what you were talking about.

As you said the other day - chemo brain.
At least at your age it should all come back, some of us just have permanent brain fade without aid of chemicals
