i seen a tasco scope in a natchez catalog, the catalog says it was developed for the navy seals, and can withstand the .50 cal mcmillan with ease, it is a 8-40x56, tactical riflescope, and has the mil dot reticle, reg 745.00, priced to 199.90, is this a piece of monkey poop, or is it worth the gamble

I had one that was similar, from SWFA, Inc., and sold it.....it was quite long and pretty heavy duty as far as scopes go, just didn't fit the apllication I had bought it for.

I did a google search and came up with a site on which the guy showed an AR-50 firing with this scope mounted on top.  He was basically giving it a big huge endorsement......it's not the same one as the Natchez scope, but close.  Check out SWFA -- it's 299.99 for the Custom Shop one I'm talking about.

The one that the SEAL's may use is most likely the TASCO Super Sniper....

this one does not appear to be the super sniper, itis a rather large scope, i was thinking about using it on an already heavy tactical bolt gun, so weight would not really be too much of an issue, i hope it is a good scope, i just ordered it

SS scope SWFA has in a 16 power seems to be a good buy for 299.00.

They say if its made in Japan its a decent scope if it made in china, well its a crap shoot.

Good luck

The scope is made in Japan.  I ordered mine online from Natchez and got it for $174.99.  It is a really nice scope for the money.  I showed it to my FFL and he said that it was a very good buy.  You did well.  Others paid much more.
