Thread: Tasco 4x32 on 444 M ?

Recently acquired an older Tasco World Class 4x32 what I was thinking to put on the 444 . It's the made in China version. Do you guys think it would shake apart from the recoil? Once I have used up all the ammo it came with and got enough cash for a casting setup will only shoot lead boolits at low vel.
Thanks

444 does have some boot. If you're not wanting to spend much on optics you might be better with a Bushnell, or an air rifle rated Nikko etc. But....some of the early Tascos were pretty reliable and one of mine has performed well for 10 years.

Tasco 4x32 more of a 22 scope - you'll just have to try it on the 444 and see.

Agreed. Some of the early ones were rather good. I still have one from the early 90s on a 6.5x55 that has been as reliable as any other scope could be, but for around $150 the likes of a Nikko Airking 4x32 would be better. They are made to withstand the vibrations etc from the springers air rifles which is worse than recoil to a normal scope. But with your cast bullets and reduced velocity the Tasco should work well enough as long as it is OK to start with. That level of recoil should not do it any harm.

Thanks for the input, will give it a try. Had a vx1 on it but the rings didn't let it come back far enough.
