[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1525945, member: 12995"] No, Tasco doesn't actually own a manufacturing plant. Tasco is just a brand name that subcontracts to optics manufacturers. Tasco was the original company that owned the Super Sniper name, and had those scopes built for testing for a US military contract. Tasco went out of business, and SWFA in Texas bought the patent for the SS scopes. They kept using the same company that manufactured the scopes in Japan originally, but they upgraded lots of things, like glass, lens coatings, reticle options, and magnification options, including adding variable magnification scopes (3-15x and 5-20x). So, technically, Tasco has never actually produced a single optic themselves, they just slap their name on them. And, like I said, I'm almost positive they went out of business in the optics world about 10+ years ago, but I could be wrong. [/QUOTE]
