When I was searching around yesterday a couple of places said that Bushnell had bought Tasco around 2002 then a few years later another parent company bought the Bushnell/Tasco lines. Supposedly Bushnell DOES still honor the Tasco warranty for scopes made after the 2002 buyout. I don't know what year mine was manufactured. I'm pretty sure the model I have was still being manufactured after 2002 but mine might have made before that.I went down the same path years back. I had an old Japanese Tasco that I wanted to have warrantied. If I remember correctly, they were bought out and the “lifetime” warranty is no longer valid. I may be getting my facts mixed up but that’s how I recall it.
Found my old thread from when I began searching. https://www.texasguntalk.com/threads/scope-repair-for-reticle.66971/
