So what are everones thought about the super sniper scopes. From what I have read on them they seem to be a good scope for the price. Granted I do not believe they are as good as a leupold or even bushnell but I wonder how good they are. Ike how clear thier optics are and how tough they are. Just looking for info on the scopes. I might put one on one of my rifles but I am just looking for feed back.thanks

| I had it on my M-4 with attached bipods. I zeroed it at 300 Meters and it worked well. I was an infantry weapons squad leader so I mainly used it to fire tracers and guide the 240's on target. I originally mounted it to gun #1 and it worked well but we were issued Elcans for the 240's soon after. I was mainly at cedar 2 and tallil airbase running patrols but later spent some time in fallujah and baghdad. Our last few months we went on missions with civil affairs all over Iraq as security for them. |
| I've had one on my Remington Sendero .300 Win Mag since I bought the rifle. It is my favorite scope out of all I have used. I've used it to take deer out to 500 yards with no problem. It is crystal clear, gathers great light, and you can't beat the repeatability of the adjustments. |

Mine is lightly used, so far (only 93 rounds through that rifle, to date).
That said––the optical clarity is pretty good, the clicks are easy to feel and repeatable, and it ran just fine through a box drill at 100 yards. No, it isn't a MK4 or a Nightforce, but it's also a hell of a lot cheaper. I know I haven't run it hard enough yet to really test it, but I've encountered nothing that would concern me. |

Here's a couple of pictures from the 16X42 Super Sniper on a 2'x4' target at 1700 yards. Notice the fence posts in the background of the 2nd picture, those are 4 inch wide posts from 1700+ yards! Great scope for the money.

So I got my super sniper 16x42. I was suprized to find out that the scope was actually made by tasco. My dad told me that many years ago( he is 65) tasco was making these scopes and then all of a sudden they stopped making them and everyone went into a upset frenzie. So I guess they finally started making them again. I am glad they did, I have not shot it yet but the optics look very bright and sharp, so I am hoping for good results this weekend. I will keep yall posted.
