I have a Mosin Nagant 91/30 in an Archangel stock with the UTG tri-rail. Is this Tasco the better scope? Or should I get the Bushnell Trophy XLT Mil-Dot Reticle Riflescope, 3-9x40??

If you are going to use the rifle for hunting the Tasco will do fine. If you plan to do long range shooting I would go with the Mil-Dot scope. Hope this helps..........

btw...my tasco world class3-9x40mm loses clarity with sundown or lower light. I forgot to note this point in earlier comment. it's a damn good build and buy for the money (51.99) but, more demanding purposes will require a much better scope. p.s. this would not be my combat scope on an ar15 either.

Based on reputation (and, I don't own one), I think the the Bushnell is a better scope. I currently have a lower-priced Leupold Gold Ring scope on my Savage Model 12 varmint rifle. The Tasco is a good, emergency type temporary scope. I would carefully check all the Leupold scopes and buy the best one I could afford. I like all Leupold and Black Hills products - good, American products, and quality is generally cheaper in the long run. Good luck!

Tasco and Bushnell are about the same quality-wise. Both are decent for the price. Since you're scoping a 91/30, I would go with the Bushnell Mil-dot since that will give you a way to place long shots more accurately.

I have the Tasco World Class on a modded SKS and I dont think you can beat it for the money. I have not looked through the Bushnell but some scopes with mil dot recticle have a wide cross hair that blocks out a bulls eye at ranges over a 100yds.

I know nothing about the Bushnell Trophy XLT but on a gun like the Mosin Nagant it may be a better choice. I use my Tasco on a mini 14 and so far I've had no problems. I got the Tasco because of the price.

I am very happy with the Tasco World Class scope. I have to admit I bought it based on the price point for the features. I also use it on a Benjamin Maurader .25 air rifle, so I am only using it for 100 yards or less. At 100 yards it is very clear and the mil dots are very useful because my air rifle drops about 6 inches at 100 yards (it is flat out to 50 yards). The optics are very clear and it has retained the zero I set about 8 months ago after many uses.I would recommend purchase of this scope without reservation.I have not used the Bushnell Trophy XLT Mil-Dot Reticle scope, so I am unable to provide a comparison for you.

the bushnell is a much better scope. I consider the tasco to be if I drop it and break it, its cheap to replace. but if u got a mosin u should consider a 4-16x44? I mainly bought the tasco for my magnum pellet rifle, but have fire it on my ar15 as well. but ar 15 recoils much less than the mosin. I know we are all tryin to spend less but sometimes u gotta be happy with ur purchase. its better if u get 1 good scope that u could use on many different rifles than buy several scopes thus in the end spending more. happy shopping!

Also I think you can look up bdc conversions on Google. Its a great scope for the money. I've owned quite a few rifle and scope setups and this one on my tikka t3 has been my favorite and most useful across the board so far. Haven't found a use for the illuminated reticle yet but its cool to have.

I don't foresee any problem with a good set of mounts. I have one on my .243 for years and have had no problem. I wouldn't hesitate putting it on my 30.06. BTW - I like the Tasco better than my Leupold in low light conditions.

I did a little research and found that some do use the 3-9x40 on the .357 and even higher power rifles. A lot of .357 users like the fixed scopes or low power, 1-3x32mm scopes. The 3-9x40 is good up to around 450 yards, can your gun/ammo of choice reach that far? I've only used my Tasco 3-9x40 on my Marlin 30-30 and it held up great! The Barska I bought for my daughter to use on her 10-22. Overkill maybe, but she liked mine and picked it out!!! Good luck on whatever you choose!!! - Jim

Hate to say but you will need to get some type of raiser. For the price, this scope is pretty good and worth price. Another to consider and sits a bit higher, is the Sig Tac CP1. Still available thru Amazon. Basic ACOG. I did get both.

I am not sure about the scope you are using but it also depends on the stock you are using with your Mosin. I have an archangel with a large sniper scope

This is a good scope for the money and is clear. The only issue is with eye alignment at 32x. Any movement and it becomes blacked out. I personally bought a Bushnell Tactical for my .308 and was the best decision. My Mueller 8-32x is on my .22lr Izhmash CM-2.

Here is the one I bought on Amazon for a 45 degree rail mount for a reflex or red-red dot. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004941DUE/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 However, a lot of people don't recognize that you can use the Yukon during the day time. You turn on the red cross hairs, but don't turn on the emitter. You keep the lens cover down. It has a small peep hole that works fine. It is not a bad day time scope. However, it is not as good for two eye open fast target acquisition as a 45 degree reflex. I use both in daylight depending on the target.

I have 2 Hawke Sport Optics 3-9x40 AO Sport HD Rifle, 30/30 Duplex Reticle scopes. One mounted on a Benjamin Trail NP XL 22, the other mounted on a Benjamin Trail NP 22. I also have a Hawke Airmax EV 4-12x40 AO MAP 6 Reticle, (which I prefer over the Sport HD), mounted on a Gamo Show Stopper 17. All are holding zero after over 1000 pellets, (or more), through each rifle over a period of about one year.

I bought some UTG scope rings for it..BUT I wound up going with the 6-24x60..The new sniper style rifle,If you can split the difference of $120..00..It is WELL worth the money man!!!

YES it will . I have 3 3x9x50 tascos and have never had a problem with any of them . A good scope for the money .

Amazon offers both scopes. Mine is the mil-dot. It has an adjustable brightness illuminated green and red reticle. I like the quick release on it. Worth the money.

I have several of the UTG scopes and they hold up to recoil just fine! I have them on everything from .22/mag/.223/.270. After thousands of rounds in all calibers I have not had a single failure. The lockable/resetable turrets are great when shooting at differant yardages as you can return to your original zero in seconds without firing a shot! I highly recomend them. I can get sub-MOA groups with my AR platform at 100 yds using a 3-12x42, and sub-MOA at 200 yds with a 4-16x56. Solidly built, accurate and affordable! What's not to like?

This is a great scope - I love mine and use it on my 30.06 for elk hunting also. Check out the Spot-On ballistics calculator on the Nikon website to give you the elevation adjustments you will need to make. Very accurate.

I took my Ruger 10/22 Carbine to Gander Mountain and made them let me try the scope mounts to make sure I could also use the fixed sights. I suggest u do the same Marine1. Note: I am a 37 year Army vet spending last 22 in Special Ops at Bragg. I always go to gun store before I purchase scope mounts and rings. By the way this is A great rifle for small game and especially for starting to teach a new shooter. Semper Fi. My son is a Captain in Force Recon Marines.

Try checking the Tasco site and see if they have a cross reference for rings, to that particular rifle.An email to Tasco is another thought.Mine is mounted to a Ruger Mini 30 which takes particular Ruger rings, which I use. Love the scope on the Mini 30!
