Eto!! Keep us posted. I for one am not going to pass judgement on anything without even trying it. I have had ZERO trouble with cheap scopes. I have a four of those Tasco fixed 4x Prohorns. They seem tough as nails. I have used them for about 4-5 years so far. When I bought them they were about 22 dollars. I have one on my wifes 250-3000 and one on my NEF 45-70. Thses are one good little cheap scope.

I have a bushnell 4-12 on my 300 win. that I bought for 70 bucks at Wal-Mart. I have about 150 rounds through the rifle, 3 years of hunting, and it has yet to fail me. I keep thinking about getting a more expensive scope, but this one has given me no problems, so I cant justify it to the one in charge of the money (my wife). I read somewhere that if a scope is going to fail, it will be in the first 50 rounds fired, so I guess i am safe. maybe i just got lucky, but i have to say I am pretty Damn happy with it!!!

I had never heard of Visiontac, so I did some research. They are a toy manufacturer. Looks like someone found another way to employ teenage Chinese girls.

Yep, Russian Roulette!
You get what you pay for!
How much is a ruined hunt worth?
Hopefully when it fails it will be at the gun range and not in the field!
I hate to sound pessemistic, but I've been burnt before!
