Yes I have had 2 other brands I wanted to try who both failed out of the box. One of them wanted me to pay for a repair on a new broken scope! Yes, I don't buy those. Interesting thing though - I bought a used Remington 1187 rifled barreled Slug gun about 25 years ago that had a Tasco 1.5X5 scope on it. I was in a hurry to try the gun so I left that scope on "Temporarily". Damn thing is still on it today - totally dependable, used to be my go to slug gun for about 15 years and Never, ever broke or failed to hold zero. I made some Amazing shots with that gun out to 200 yards - phenomenally accurate. By that account, all Tascos are the best thing out there!!! We are rifle today so that gun sits but it may get used in a new area this year.
