I’m a fan of Barsness and just recently read an old article of David Petzal’s in which he speaks highly of John.Marketing eye relief tends to be longer than ACTUAL eye relief. I think I got that from John Barsness probably.

I drink Corona and Carta Blanca when I can’t find my favorite which is Bohemia.
I bought a Remington 700 ADL Package from Cabela’s around 20 years ago. It had a Pine Ridge on it. It was without a doubt the worst scope I’ve ever owned. I’ve stated a number of times my extreme dislike of Vortex Crossfire II scopes but compared to a Pine Ridge a Crossfire is a Razor.

There's a big difference between a collector and a hoarderI am keeping it because it might be collectible someday.

Yeah those old tascos really are pretty good scopes!Yeah, you are right. A hoarder is the guy with 5 million primers who doesn't want anybody else to have any. I am a collector. Actually, I usually end up giving away these cheap scopes to some friend in need who doesn't shoot much. Scopes like the Bushnell Sportviews and the BSE Deerhunters. I gave away one a few years ago that I regret though. A Japan made Tasco World Class. I have to be a little more careful.

Yep, wish they still made them like they used to. I've got a 37yr old Bushnell 3x9x40 lite site on my 38yr old Winchester 94AE 30-30. Still holds zero and clear, really no complaints with it other than field of view is a little narrow compared to some newer. No way I'd buy a new comparable Bushnell.I put my spare World Class Tasco 2-7 on my Dad's rifle after a cheaper scope failed. That was almost 20 years ago. The Tasco is still holding zero.
I've had more than a few. Before they really gained a cult following I would dig thru all the eBay listings and buy up the ones I recognized as Japan made WC or or most any Japan made tasco lol. Relisted them more accurately and usually made some change on em.Hey, Loon, I guess what you really need to do it pick up an old Tasco World Class for your new rifle.

Been on a Simmons kick last couple years
Those are nice scopes, but they are going for more than im willing to spend on them.
Ive been snagging the Whitetail Expeditions lately, for some reason they still tend to be on the cheaper side even tho they have really good optics and features...... probably because they arnt japan made.
Now y'all have me thinking I shouldn't have gave away the old Tasco World Class 3x9x44 I bought back in '95 a few weeks ago. A guy at work bought a used Winchester push feed model 70 chambered for .270. It had a 6-24 scope on it. I told him it was too much on the bottom end for around here. If he was going to shoot long range, hunt a bean field or a clear cut it might be good but hunting in the woods where they like to walk out underneath your stand you need lower magnification than that on the bottom end.
Couldn't pay me to use a Simmons
Bet youd use a WTE if i sent u one!.....if not id be sad....Couldn't pay me to use a Simmons
not if I'm hunting with it.Oh come on, Troy. I bet you have a price. Six figures perhaps?
not if I'm hunting with it.
For some reason Simmons used a number of different "whitetail" designators.The Simmons whitetail are the 2 I had fail, believe that was there top end scope to.
