I bought a used Japanese made Tasco 16 x 44 AO target scope a few months ago. This is a single sample example, but I compared this to the following scopes I use for 50 yard 22 lr.
targets.
Zeiss Conquest 4.5-14 x 44 SF
Japan Weaver T 10, new AO
Japan Sightron 12 x 42 AO
Japan Weaver V 16 AO
Austrian Kahles CL 3-9 x 42 SF
The Tasco resolved newspaper printing just as well as the others. The Zeiss and especially the Kahles delivered brighter and more vivid colors to my eye. The tracking on this sample was excellent. Buying used can be a hit or miss, but for $100.00, I took the leap of faith.
