Thread: Anyone lost a Rifle in Northarm Block?

Yep taco would be dumb to turn down an opportunity like this that clearly demonstrate the ruggedness of their product.

I reckon it's bloody cool, weathered and rusted the way it is .... would be a great thing to pull out when your sitting round spinning yarns!!

The mag counter may help tell if it's loaded or not if you can see the numbers that is

Might pay to sight it in before using it on a hunt.

The original Tascos were made in Japan and were not too bad at the time. Circa 1965.

Correct, have had one since 1971, bashed and battered but still goes very well

Yes your are right Tahr, the Tasco World Class for the money were a good buy with a life time warranty, the Tasco Proghorn were not on the so good side.
There wasn't any bones with that rifle?
NZ has lost a few hunters over the years and never found.
KH

The old tasco's from a few decades ago were good gear. Not so sure about the modern versions.

Have had a Tasco on Brno 22 for 25 years or so no problems whatsoever been well used as most 22s do get regular use.

So what was the last image in the scope! Tacos have a built in memory I believe!

ok could you not be getting self in poohs n wees by leaving a firearm in a hut?????
even old and in disrepair taking it home and making enquiries may have been better option.

Thought did cross our mind and we chucked the idea around and at the last minute decided against it.
It is rusted solid and barrel choked right up.
I was not to keen to take it on a Chopper that had my ass in it.
Put it up high in the A frame in the hut rafters.
It is also not a public hut and is only used by hunters.

Back in the days quite a few cullers believed that a cheaper brand of scope was more practical at the end of the day. They got the shit hammered out of them, especially on Thar work and like a bic lighter they were discarded when poked.It was cheaper to buy another scope rather than replacing an expensive one.
The early Tasco was quite popular. Eventually down the line and when the pocket was bulging the money was spent on a much classier scope.

That thing was no more a firearm than a rusty club, I think you will be fine.

ah well that makes sense then......
