Tasco 3-9x40 Variable Power Rifle Scope Gloss Black Duplex Reticle
Description
A vintage variable power rifle scope by Tasco, finished in a gloss black. The objective bell is marked with the magnification range and objective lens diameter as 3-9X40 and features a thin silver-toned ring near the lens. The ocular housing displays the maker’s name tasco in a stylized white font. A magnification adjustment ring located near the ocular lens is marked with numerals 3 through 9, allowing for variable power settings. The scope is equipped with a crosshair Duplex reticle, as seen in the through-the-lens view. Both the windage and elevation adjustment turrets are protected by threaded caps. The underside of the eyepiece bell includes a marking indicating it was manufactured in Taiwan.
Condition report:
The scope shows visible signs of use and handling. There are multiple scratches and scuffs along the main tube and the objective bell (photos 1, 3, 4, 6). Areas of finish loss are evident, particularly near the turret housing and on the tube body (photo 4, 6). The silver-toned ring on the objective bell shows light oxidation or wear (photo 7). The adjustment screw on the magnification ring exhibits signs of wear (photo 5). The glass appears clear in the reticle view, though the exterior shows typical vintage wear (photo 8).
