I ordered one from there also, can not beat $22.27 for a decent scope for a 22LR or PCP  Air rifle. Semper Fi Keystonekid PS If you guys jumped off I bridge I would not also. LOL Just Quoting my Father the smartest guy I know.

Just ordered one myself, for $22.49 how could I pass that up ?  

Don't really need it right now but  I'm sure I can find a use for it later

Jeff, I think the majority of us that ordered 1 (or 2 or 3) didn't really need a scope or 3 more scopes.  We just can't resist a bargain 

I added the new Tasco to the spare scopes box.  Hope to use it 1 day or when I get the next new gun, or 2nd new one because I have 1 or 2 better spares I 'd like to try first

A gun without a scope is like a day without sunshine.

Just got mine today, one heck of a scope for the money. Waiting for my Diana bulls eye mount and will stick this on the ole Parrus. Hope this combo works out.    Mike

[longislandhunter]

Harry, you're right, I really have a hard time passing up a bargain   

Well, guess I'll just have to get me another air rifle  to put that scope on

I just ordered another one that I don't need, hard to beat for 25 bucks.  I put one on a Diana 34 and it's holding up so far.

If you think to, please post back to let us know if it's still holding up in a week, a month, or whenever.....I ordered one, but am hesitant to put it on any of my springers.

[Buldawg76]

My first one is on my 1720T so no info on how it holds up to springer guns. Not sure yet which gun will get the second one I just ordered yet.

I will try and remember to do that if it ever warms up enough to shoot.  My concern is it was about 3" high at 25 yds so I had to go 48 clicks or so down, I fear I may be near the end of the range which in my understanding is harder on scopes.  If anyone knows what the adjustment range is I'd love to know.

[Buldawg76]

I am not sure of the range of movement in these scopes but the fact you had to go down is much less of an issue than if you had to go up. Going down puts more tension on the erector tube spring so its held more securely versus going up to far which lessens the tension allowing the erector tube to float inside the scope easily causing POI shifts.

My (limited) experience is that that is a common problem with the cheaper scopes I have had. It is not unusual for me to put a thin shim on the rear scope mount. In fact, I had to do that just yesterday.

Lizzie, jccams gun was shooting high not low so the shim would need to be placed under the front scope mount not the rear. Its unusual for it to be shooting high since most guns have some barrel droop whereas his appears to have barrel rise.

Ahhhhh. Thanks Mike. I misunderstood.

I did use a Diana lock down mount with droop compensation which is why I think it was shooting high.  I was thinking about using a non droop compensated mount and see what happens.  I do not know how much droop the Diana mount compensates for.  At 25 yds how much does this mount raise the POI?

[nervoustrigger]

This one on PA lists 0.025” of compensation with a length of 4.75 which works out to something like 18.9in at 100 yards or  4.7in at 25 yards.

    I ordered one from Amazon the other day too. I have a couple scopes that I think are malfunctioning.

Did you reverse the mount by mistake since if installed with arrow pointing forward it should be shooting low not high unless the scope was nowhere close to being optically centered when installed on the gun. You may want to count clicks to center the scope and see where it hits with scope reticle centered.
