Tasco Rimfire Series 3-9x 32mm 30/30 Reticle .22 Riflescope Review

TASCO MAG39X32D Rimfire Series 3-9x 32mm 30/30 Reticle .22 Riflescope

Like the other affordable scopes in this list, this Tasco rimfire series 3 9x 32mm won’t blow you away with its range.

You can hit most targets that are up to 50 yards from you, but accuracy struggles past that mark. Still, it’s a reliable scope that you can use for small game hunting and plinking.

Despite not being the best when it comes to range and optic quality, there are lots of redeeming qualities of this rimfire scope. One is that this scope is very easy to sight in.

You should be able to find your zero points very easily. And it has scope rings included in the package, which translates to a few dollars saved on your part.

Quality optic

Again, this scope may not satisfy the discriminating hunter but for casual hunter and shooter, the optic quality of this scope should suffice. The lenses are magenta coated which can reduce reflection and glare.

The glass is clear and can deliver clear images, especially when there’s enough lighting. But during low lighting conditions, this scope may not give good images.

This Tasco Rimfire Series 3 9x 32mm Build Quality

This 22 rifle scope features a full-sized, one-inch advanced monotube construction. It has rings that are designed to attach to standard .22 bases. It measures 14 inches in length, with a weight of 11.4 ounces.

With its weight, it won’t really make your rifle heavier. The nice matte finish should also make your weapon more attractive.

Easy to Use

Being an entry-level scope, this unit won’t pose a lot of problems even for novice shooters. For starters, it is incredibly easy to sight in.

According to most online reviewers, they are able to find the zero very easily thanks to the adjustment points located on the side and top of the scope. It also doesn’t hurt that this scope is very easy to mount on .22 rifles.

3 to 9x magnification

This is a 22 rifle scope that is very versatile if we talk about magnification. It can be used for short to medium-range shooting at 3x magnification, and even long-range shooting with its maximum 9x magnification.

50-yard parallax setting

This Tasco rimfire series 3 9x 32mm scope has a parallax that is set at 50 yards. This makes it an ideal companion or accessory in hunting trips. However, there is no way to adjust the parallax.

Final Verdict

This scope won’t impress the serious hunter but for those who aren’t likely to spend a hundred bucks or so on a rifle optic then this one is highly recommended.

It’s a versatile scope that’s useful for short to long-range shooting with its 3x to 9x magnification. As long as you are hunting in broad daylight, you should be able to see your targets pretty well with this scope.

Of course, you’ll have to bear with some of the shortcomings of this scope like its rings and sub-par images when the target is beyond 100 yards.
