What's Rule #2? And if not those 4 brands, then what? NF, S&B, Tasco
I know you were making a joke by including Tasco, but, like Bushnell, they did offer some legitimate scopes.
Thier earlier Japanese offerings were pretty solid scopes, and most know about the Taco/SWFA SS classic connection.
Certainly the first two options you listed are great brands to be loyal to.
