With the above I could select one day shipping over the default two day prime.

Could not pass on the deal.
Got one today and mounted it on my Diana 48.
So far it is very good, heard D48's may be scope killers.

I got the 2.5-10x42 yesterday and it will focus close enough to use in my basement, so that is good. I don't have a rifle to mount it to, but the price seemed to be good, so I ordered it anyway. When it came, Wifey found it, and was mad, at least a little bit, "What did you buy that for? You have several down in the basement already!", oh well, such is life. So far, the scope seems to be well made and operates just fine, especially for that price. Don't pass this up if you are in need of a scope like this, or maybe even if you don't need it right now.

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

Jeff

Jeff, you know we got the best enabling forum on the web. There is no hope for us

I almost ordered one of each too, but 2 boxes would have been hard to hide

I got the 2.5-10x42 yesterday. I am hiding the Amazon box from my wife and haven't opened it yet to check the scope. I was lucky she was in the bathroom when I heard some noise by the front door and ran to get it. She is taking her niece out to lunch tomorrow and that's when I will open it and dispose of the cardboard. She doesn't get involved with the garbage or recyclables

"Been there done that" Harry

LOL

Can't tell you how many times I purposely intercepted the UPS guy as he delivered a new rifle and then quietly sneaked down into the basement from the outside Bilco door so the wife wouldn't see.

I'm looking forward to getting the scopes. Always nice to have a few spare scopes on the shelf

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?

Ordered on 2/13, received today 2/15, as promised by Amazon.

It was already dark by the time the package arrived, but I really wanted to see how it looks at full mag.
Took the big 6-18x56 CP off the .25 Armada. However, I didn't have high 1" rings, so I had to use the 30mm rings and rubber shims to get the Discovery secured.
I set out a giant piece of course cardboard 30yd it and beamed a work light at it. Everything looks nice and clear. Took an entire magazine, 9 rounds, to get it zeroed.
Then I moved the work light down to the 50yd 1.5" steel spinner. Adjusted the AO, and visual quality looks decent even in the, less than ideal, light condition. Having never used a 24x scope, I didn't have an idea on the amount of holdover for 50yd. Sure enough I hit low. Way low. Once I raised it considerably, the pellet connected with the 1.5" spinner, so windage was right on. Even under these conditions, I can already tell the glass has much better clarity and sharpness than the $180 CP.
This Tasco scope is a winner, and will be staying on the Armada. I just need to get the proper rings for it now.

I need to order a couple more of these, I got one a few weeks ago to try on my Gauntlet. I didn't know it was springer rated.

While many people use it on springers without issues, Tasco actually doesn't claim that the Varmint line is airgun rated. They actually have an airgun line.
I have the 2-10x42 a springer, and waiting to see how it hold up over time. At $30, it's not exactly a huge gamble.
I also noticed, on the Tasco website, that while the Varmint has a lifetime warranty, the airgun line doesn't state so.

Finally got to see the 6-24x in daylight, and I think it looks great for a $30 scope. Heck, I think it would like great fora $150 scope.
At 24x, I got nice details down in the +50 range. It could be brighter, but that's limited to mainly to the overall size of the scope.
Yes, I would certainly recommend this Varmint model in terms of quality, and at a measly $30, it's really a no brainer!

FuzzyGrub · « **Reply #50 on:** February 16, 2020, 11:03:27 AM »

Well. my 2nd one missed its delivery deadline, which was yesterday.

That brings me up to having one scope for every air rifle.

It appears that it never was transferred to USPS. Wonder if it is related to Amazon dumping a number of their "independent" shippers?

On the other hand, the rings look like they will arrive today, which were ordered the day after.

longislandhunter · « **Reply #51 on:** February 18, 2020, 04:08:30 PM »

Received my 2 scopes this morning. I like em

Nice clear optics, AO works great, knobs/rings turn easily and securely. Very happy with them

Tasco Varmint 2.5-10x 42mm True Mil-Dot Reticle, 1/4 MOA Turrets Riflescope

$24.99 today.

No free shipping at that price; but, they still have the $27.99 optional price w/ free shipping. I needed another Air Venturi .22 pellet pen anyway ($11.47), so I bit the bullet and ordered the Tasco scope and the pen.

Tasco Target/Varmit 6-24x42mm x 40mm

$56.40 today + free shipping.

Upon getting more shooting time with the 6-24x, it appears the reticle is set up in MRAD. Each click of the turret, yields a significant shift to the poi. MOA yields much smaller incremental changes with each click of the turret, which is much more desirable at typical airgun distances.
For the money, not a deal breaker.

I ordered 2 more today at the $24.99 price along with a $82 caldwell chronograph.

Can someone measure the length of the 2.5-10x42 scope?

I saw that Fuzzygrub listed its weight at 19.6oz.

Thank you!

Taso

14 inches exactly for the 2.5-10x, and 565.3g (19.94oz)

I wish I would have tried the 6-24x as well when it was around $30. I like my 2.5-10 so far.

Ash · « **Reply #57 on:** February 25, 2020, 10:29:21 PM »

14" long

Thank you for the length Gentlemen!

David, keep an eye on them on Amazon. The price may come down again.
