Incredible deal; Tasco 2.5-10x42 mildot for $27.99!

[anti-squirrel]

Those scopes are fantastic- it has the moniker "Varmint".  I'd been using mine on my Leshiy and it fits quite well.  It also lived on my MRodAir Varmint, my Maximus, and my PP700 (which was a little ridiculous but DANG what a great scope for the monies!)

Finally got to try the Tasco in full daylight today. Way better image quality than what you'd figured you'd get for sub $30. No problem seeing the details of my 1.5" steel target, set 60yd out within the shadows of the wild brushes.
No, I didn't hit this target. Just too far for my capabilities with a piston gun. Also, with 20mph sustained winds, I didn't even bothered. However, I did connect with the 3"  steel target at 55yd.
Very happy with this scope! Will now just have to wait and see if it'll withstand the recoil of the NP2.

I bought 3 of the 6-24x scopes.  I opened one and check how close they focus at 24x.  13 yards is sharp and in focus.  I'm glad because that's the distnace in my basement range where I do pellet testing.

Thanks for the heads up on the deal Jmars!

Did you install one on your new AA, Taso sir?

Question: my current rings on my Crosman NP arent high enough to fit the 42mm so....

Do you recommend a one peice, 2-piece, or dovetail to picatinny conversion for my current rings?  All are around $10-12 bucks on Amazon and all account for a stop pin.  My brain is on Sunday mode and incapable of analyzing things today.

Thanks!

I personally like the versatility of a 2 piece. I would also go picatinny only, instead of dovetail to picatinny.
BTW, you'll want medium height rings.

I got mine a couple of days ago! Got it because .........

I needed one ..? 
Didn't have a Tasco scope ... ? 
Hmmmm....... Could NOT resist the price ...? 

Glad I did! Nice scope ... NO I have not put it on a gun .... wait, I don't have a gun to put it on .... need a new gun ....
Darned Bargain Gate ..... again! 

[only1harry]

I don't know my excuse for getting 1 either TJ    I have 3 or 4 new scopes in the box (but 2 of them are 30mm and heavy), I have 2 older TASCO's, have no gun that needs a scope, and no I didn't need another one.  I failed all the criteria    I have no clue why I got it    Oh wait, could it be that thing they call addiction? 

Which one did you get?  I ordered the smaller 10x.  Should be here tomorrow. 

Is it me or is Amazon getting slow at shipping?  Tomorrow will be 8 days, and it's not the Holidays.. I guess with almost $300 Billion in sales they are busy all the time.  Their sales revenue went up 21% last year(!).  It used to take an avg. of 5 days, 6 days max to my door when they shipped directly from Amazon (like the Tasco scopes), but this time they didn't actually ship it for 3 business days.  They used to ship the next day, 2nd at the latest.  Not sure if that's going to be the norm now.

I bought the Tasco 2.5-10X42 and it is easily worth 4X times the $30 price point. Its a solid scope on par with my UTGs. I plan on getting the 6-24 just as soon as I can sneak it pass my wife.....

[FuzzyGrub]

Harry,  I don't know what is going on with yours, but received mine within the typical 2-day prime shipping.  Even though a rural location, have received amazon items within 1 day.   Amazon drop shipped to local PO, and arrived at house by 10AM.

Hello Harry,

I got the 2.5-10x42, and YES, it is total addiction! Didn't need it, have too many sitting in boxes, but WTH ... why not, the price was great, and the scope is actually very nice.

Also mine took longer (about 5 days) from Amazon, as did another order of my wife's that took a week (with Prime), so YES Amazon is getting a little slower. (I guess it takes time to dig ouot of the profits!!!  )

Cheers

[Earl]

WOW!
Those are good prices on the 2.5-10 and the 6-24.
I do not need another scope.
But it is hard to resist those prices.

Ah yes, Amazon is getting burried deeper and deeper in the green stuff so now they have an excuse for shipping late     

Hey that looks like my Gauntlet's groups with JSB 15.89 at 25yds!!    I have actually never shot another pellet in the Gauntlet.  For some reason it was the first pellet I tried and never tried another after I started getting those groups.

[Xraycer]

I don't really need it...........but, for $30, I'd, just now, went ahead and ordered  the 6-24X as well.

Should be here Saturday. 2 days.
I'd also some Birchwood Casey adhesive targets, and that's arriving tomorrow. 1 day!

So, no slow down here for Amazon.

Harry, are you a Prime member?

So...my constant desire to tinker with stuff has me itching to do something destructive...

After mounting my new scope last night I realized that my new one and my previous BSA adjustable scope have what may be a set screw on the power adjustment ring in the perfect position for a throw lever or cat tail.  I did some research and don't see any throw levers out there that seem to be a replacement screw, only throw levers that surround the whole ring.  Would it be possible to just replace that small screw with a longer one and some sort of spacer to make a throw lever?  I found multiple people on the interwebs asking this same question, but the only responses out there were "don't mess with things you don't understand, you'll just break stuff and you're an idiot".  I get that, but it doesn't seem that this question is actually answered anywhere online that I could find.  Also, it seems unlikely to me that manufacturers would place these in a perfect position without ever being pointed down without it being purposefully thought out.

Has anyone ever tried this and what was your result.  I'm happy yo take criticism too, this isn't the first time I've had "brilliant" ideas that resulting in something being ruined.

[longislandhunter]

You guys are really enablers.  I've resisted this sale since it was posted  but I finally cracked and ordered 1 of each scope.  Just couldn't pass em up any longer for this price.  I do have a new rifle arriving soon and will see how the 24x scope works on one of my long range varmint PBers that need a scope

Not that $2 makes much of a difference, back to sale price:

Back when I'd originally ordered the 2.5-10x, it was available $29.99 for 2 days shipping, or $27.99, for 2 weeks shipping. I went ahead and paid the extra $2 for, I guess, expedited shipping
