I have two Japanese Tasco 3x9 scopes from the mid 80s. I had one of these mounted on a 30-30 as a kid and then on an Interarms Mauser 30-06 for 10 years. I can't imagine a scope taking as much punishment as this Tasco got from me. I'm now in my late 30s and I put the Tasco back on the Interarms becasue my dad bought both for me and I wanted it back on for sentimental reasons. I carried it for two days in 2008 and it finally gave up with a case of scope fog. I have a few Simmons scopes from the mid 90s that have done well.
