Had their 2-7x variable on a Contender in 22 Hornet & it worked well. Reasonably clear & a great bang for the buck. Don't know on something stouter though...

I think Mr. Vance is 100% on target!
Personally, I would go with the 2.5-8 Weaver...

I can get a 2.5x for $35 clams. it would be worth trying just to see how long it would last

Had a 2.5 on a 22/45 ruger --it did well--but you get what you pay for--in the long run
If it jams force it! If it breaks it needed replacing anyway.

I bought one, just because. I mean it was sooooo cheap. I put the 2x7 on a Ruger Mk II about 3-4 four years ago....and it has been there every since. I would not trust it on anything larger the a .22 but for a rabbit shootin' or IHMSA prone where I mostly shoot in full light (I don't think it gathers much light)it works just great. I don't use the power adjustment much and I don't know how it would work out for hundreds of movements but I have to admit that I have gotten more use then I ever expected out of it.

It seems someone had told me that NCStar had bought out Tasco and now they were one in the same. Can anyone confirm this?

i had a 2.5x on a 22/45 ruger mkII also. it worked well. i would only use one on a rimfire, unless i was just playing around to see what it was made of for funsies.
i had a 2x7 for a VERY short time on my 30-30AI. the adjustment range was too small to even get it sighted in. a 2x7 burris has been on it ever since.

This scope comes up every so often here for the last 3 or so years. Over time from what I have read it's a 50-50 deal. The heavy kickers usually tear them up. A "few" guys had had them hold together for 3-400 rounds on a big gun. And yes they have a forever warrenty to replace them. Most that use them on 22's are satisfied.
Here's my question. Do you really want to trust a cheap scope that has a track record to break on anything more than a 22 for fun shooting? Save the extra coin and get a good scope you only have to mount once and not wonder if that last shot ruined the scope and the next shot on a great animal is going to be true.

In my thinking of trying one, I never intended to hunt with it. I have several bigbore revolvers that I never hunt with but like to shoot. This is really the only feedback that I have read about them and if they are only good for 500 or so rounds.....I have no use for one.

I have one that has been through about 30 rounds on my 50 AE deser Eagle. Only issues i have had were the mounting rings...damn screws striped from the recoil. Also muzzle blast started to bake teh lower portion of the scope. I have since went to a leupold MA on the eagle, and the scope will be sitting on my S&W A22. Still works though. Paid 75 bucks for it. Tell you this it held up better than teh BSA red dot sight i bought for about 20 bucks more than i paid for it.

I've had one on my 256 Win Mag and it works great. Like others have said, not sure about a big kicker.

I have a 2-7X on my Contender Super 14 .30-30. I've hunted with it for a couple years and have no complaints.
