The tasco Wal-Mart special:

This is as cheap as you can get for a scope that works reasonably well. A 3-9x40 will run you $30-$40 they sell rings for $5 more. They are in the sporting goods section. It has capped turrets and once un-capped the adjusters have no numerical markings.

THE GOOD:

It works great for the range, out to 100 yards.

THE BAD:

This is not a high quality scope, don’t try to make it something it isn’t, this will not survive a 30.06.

It’s not easily sighted in.

The zoom is difficult to manipulate.

FINAL THOUGHTS:

This will likely surprise you, but I feel there is a place in the shooting sports for this scope. This is the optic I would recommend to anyone looking to scope a pellet gun, .22lr, or non-heavy barrel .17hmr. It has reasonably clear glass, it handles light recoil like a champ, stays zeroed fine and isn’t too much of an eye sore. Your 10/22 will thank you for getting it this scope.
