VERY rugged scopes and leupold quality glass for the price of a tasco or a simmons. If anyone is looking for a great long range scope then i would deffinately take a look at one of these. They sell an 8.5-25x50 target model for 250 bucks that will knock your socks off. Part of the reason they are so cheap is they sell mostly by word of mouth. No advertising expenses.
