Thought I would pass this along, had this sent from a friend. Doesn't it seem strange to have a scope 8 years old on a store shelf selling for new??
Some of you may know this already but most probably do not.
Tasco went Bankrupt in 2001 and Bushnell purchased the name "Tasco" only.
If you buy anything with the name Tasco on it, verify the manufacture date is 2002 or newer.
Bushnell will not honor the warranties for anything manufactured before 2002.
We bought a scope from Dick's sporting goods about 3 years ago. Unfortunately it was manufactured in 1999.
So the warranty is no good and I am stuck with a defective scope.
I thought I would pass this on to everyone I could think of, since this is the time of year when people buy telescopes for
their children and hunting gear.
