The term Tasco used in reference to cheap is wrong. Tasco is nothing more than a name put on a scope that comes out the same factory as nikon Bushnell vortex even leupold stuff.
Even nightforce located here in idaho sources parts and glass from across the pond.
Did you know the vortex pst and razor are shipped across the pond. Vortex gets them cheaper as hole unit. These scopes are then disassembled and some parts are replaced with us made parts. Because of these scopes are highly reliable and sought after
Other lines of vortex are not subject to the pst and razor quality control standerds.
The optics world is nothing that we think of it. I've done enough research to realize that I basically have no idea what going on who makes what and so on.
One thing I do know is if you pay 50 bucks for a scope you reciever a 50 dollar scope if you pay a grand you then get a 1000 scope. This is true regardless of the label stamped on it when it comes out of the factory
