Tasco or Trashco?

I just bought a used Tasco 6-24X44 target scope(TG624X44DS). I've already got a Weaver V-16 that I'm going to use on a 10/22 I'm building up, but I thought this might be a decent scope for a .17 varmint rifle and the price was good. I haven't mounted it, but the optics seem clear at all magnification powers and all adjustments seem smooth. The only problem I can see so far is that the junky rubber "All Weather" finish is flaking off, and I'm helping it along with some acetone

I wanted to know if anyone has had any experience with this model or any models from the Tasco target line. I know from some posts I've read in the past that Tasco has made alot of junk and also a few good models - I just don't know where this one falls. Here's a link I found to an online seller showing the same thing:

Any opinions?

I vote Trashco !!!

I bought a set of tasco rings for my Marlin 780 and they were JUNK!!! I know you were talking about a scope that cost a little more than my rings but if they can't make a pair of rings that fit, I would'nt buy a $200.00 + scope from them either! Just my 2 cents, thanks -Kevin-
