Those are absolutely the cream of the crop. The scopes marked "Tasco Optics" in big letters on the eyebell were from about 1968 to about 1972, and I find those to be of excellent optical quality, made in Japan. I have another Taiwan scope made in 1996, and a box for a World Class made in China from 2001. Sturdy, lightweight aluminum tripod included. I have a 2.5-8 World Class made in Taiwan, with the box marked 1984, and I have a TR3-9x40WA marked 1984 and made in Japan. Our Luminova is a full-featured, 900mm focal-length reflector telescope for beginning and intermediate astronomy enthusiasts. ![]() If I was going to take a long, expensive hunting trip somewhere, I probably would not mount a Tasco, but for all else, I have no qualms.Īfter posting this initially, I looked at some of my scopes in boxes. I have Tasco's on most of my rimfire rifles that are scoped, and I have a Taiwan Tasco World Class PLUS 10-40x50 on one of my 22-250 centerfire rifles. I really like the Japan Tasco's, and I've found that the Taiwan Tasco's are generally of basically equal quality as those from Japan. I find that the WA scopes are very high quality, and the others are not far behind. My ( unscientific) observations lead me to conclude that the WA (wide angle) scopes were produced in the late 80's through the 90's, while the ones like your 1.75-5 were produced in the mid-70's to mid-80's. ![]()
