I have a couple of Tac Vector scopes and they are both great. The Taurus 5-30x56 FFP IMO is as good or better than anything costing twice as much. It is a little heavy at 28 oz. and only parallaxes down to 20 yards but will focus less than that. I was worried that the reticle might be a bit thick at high power but it is fine but perhaps a bit too fine at low power. The glass in the Marksman is pretty good but the Taurus is at another level.I also like the reticle. The Taurus has the same type and also the same useless extra turret caps. The caps are all calibrated the same, they just have different names for the same adjustments eg. MRAD 1/10 mil and 1cm @ 100 metres. Apart from that, there are no crappy freebies. I hope you can get your hands on one of these, Joe, I think you will be impressed.
