Rifle Scopes Anyone know anything about Tasco Super Sniper 6X?

[Heatseeker]

Hey all ... been thinking about this, which a mate of mine has for sale in Australia:

He wants Aus$300 for it, which is an expensive Tasco, but you can feel it's no standard scope ... just wondering!

Not sure what that works out to in USD or how difficult it is to find a good scope in AUS but keep in mind it IS still a Tasco and will most likely break with moderate-heavy use.

I have had 2 of these scopes and I sold them both for $400 each and they were not as nice as the one you have pictured. They were made for the IDF and have a Nato reticule designed for 7.62x51. These scopes are of excellent quality and were built in Japan. The main thing you usually find with these scopes is that they usually get the tubes screwed up by people trying to squeeze one inch rings on them. These scopes have a 26mm main tube. So its not easy to find good rings at a reasonable price. These scopes are great for someone who is looking to scope a steyr ssg 69 that has the original rings.

The scope is very similar to the Khales zf-95, it has the same type reticule. The turrets once zeroed are set to be used as a bdc for 7.62 nato and works very well.
