Among others, Tasco Scopes, “Tasco rimfire Crosshair reticle riflescope” is a budget-friendly scope that’s easy to use, easy to mount, and stays in place most of the time. The optic quality isn’t world-class especially in low lighting conditions, but it is unfair to expect a cheap scope to deliver high-quality images at dusk.
It’s a long scope that measures about 16 inches in length. Surprisingly, this scope weighs just 4 ounces. It won’t make your weapon heavier than it actually is. It uses dovetail mounts so you would have to buy Picatinny mounts if you want to mount this on a Picatinny rail.

TascoRimfire Crosshair Reticle Riflescope Review
Fixed magnification
This scope offers a fixed 4x magnification. While it means you will be stuck with the same magnification for all your shooting with this scope, you also get to save on costs.
Most scopes with fixed magnification are cheaper than their counterparts with variable magnification. Also, scopes with fixed magnification are less likely to break down due to the minimal number of moving parts.
Build quality.
This is a cheap Tasco scope so you can’t really expect quality materials. Its tube and mount are made of aluminum. It has plastic bezels and caps, with a plastic adjustment knob for focusing.
But because of the integration of plastic, the scope is also a lot lighter compared to its counterpart. It weighs just 4 ounces.
Crosshair reticle for more precise shots
This scope also features crosshair reticles, which users say significantly increases the accuracy of their shots. The downside, though, is that crosshair reticles aren’t known to be ideal for focusing on moving targets.
This Tasco scope is Ease of use
This rimfire scope is also getting a lot of rave reviews for being very easy to use. The elevation and windage knobs, for one, are described by their users as very easy to adjust. Some reviewers say that adjusting the focus can be a challenge, though.
15mm lens
This scope also features a 15mm objective lens, which won’t blow your mind at all. But for its price, the lens is quite decent. It is suitable for plinking. It doesn’t gather a lot of light, though, so you should not expect a lot from it especially when you hunt with the sun going down.
