A big mistake-hopefully corrected!
Up here in the pacific northwest, we have an abundance of VARMINT CONG! So I put together a little number to put them in their place. It started out life as a Thompson Contender .22 pistol. I put a super 16 inch, .223 heavy barrel on the reciver, Put an M-16 A2 flash suppresor on it, [so I don't burn the paint on the hood of my truck] Put a walnut forend and rifle stock on it, and topped it all off with a Tasco 6-24 varmint scope with mildot retical and 1/4 min adjustments. WHAT A SWEET LITTLE SET UP!!! Well, it would have been if it was not for that piece of junk TASCO! Looks good, but that is all! Won't hold a zero, anything after 12 power is anything but clear, AO is off by about 100 yd's on the scale! And when I called the company to get it right, I was told that they are now out of buisiness! Bushnell [another fine company] bought them out and are not honoring tascos life time warrenty's! So, off it came, I bought a NIKON Buckmasters 4.5-14x40 AO with 1/4 min adj. yesterday. Guess what? It looks just as good if not better than that thing I had on it before, and I can now shoot my dime size groups at 100 yds with no trouble. And it even has a better mil-dot retical! MUCH clearer!!! I will be watching this sight to see how the Aussie's scope works for him! Best of luck there mate!
