I remembered these when they came out the year 2000’ and sold for around $150 to $180 range. I was looking for a replacement red dot for my Ruger 10/22 air rifle and ran across the 2.5x 10 mildot tasco varminter scope on eBay and Amazon from the same supplier for $27.99 shipped! I figured it was worth the gamble as it had tons of really good reviews. I found the 6x24 version on amazon for $29.99 with free two day shipping if I signed up for a free 30 day trial membership with prime. My plan is to mount one on my Walter talon nitro piston 22 magnum air rifle and may the other will go on one of my rimfires. Anyone have any experience with this optics? I would assume they are discontinued or just old technology with the rear ocular focus. It states they can be focused at 7 yards so I figured it will be good plinking fun for the air rifles since these optics are air gun rated. For $30 each I figured if they last a summer or two I got my money out of them. From what I read the lens are clear and crisp. I don’t plan on using them for anything other than back yard varmints and plinking. I read on some reviews that people used them on centerfires for deer hunting.lol.
