Break Barrel Tasco circa 1973 4x32 scope (unused) for my HW30nSE

As y'all know I bought a new HW30 from AoA recently. I finally burned off the excess grease and it is working great, but I needed to upgrade the scope from the CVLife 4 power.
I was looking around eBay and happen to find a Tasco 4x32 made in in 1973 and was still in the box unused with the paperwork and according to PW had been modified for Air gun use The 1973 Tasco's had better glass than present day Tasco's. It was made in Japan and had Japanese glass. We all know that Tasco is not and was not considered a high in rifle scope. Although, guys in my old hunt club used them regularly to harvest much bigger deer than I did with my Leupold's. That is another story. Long story short, I bid $50 and won the bid. Upon receiving I sighted it in with very minimum effort and will send photos tomorrow. Right now it is late I am going to bed.

As promised, I have included photo of 15 shot target at 30 yds with HW30 and its New 1973 Tasco 4x32 scope. It a'int pretty but I can see some room for optimism. Plus, you have to factor me into the equation. Remember I am using the Crosman 7.3 gr pellets. Anyway, I am going to experiment with other light wt .177 pellets. I would welcome any suggestions. The main reason for this post is the Tasco scope, as far as I can see it is doing the job. The second target was the result of having brought my HW110 down to the garage to recharge the cylinder. I said, ' what the hell", I will throw 10 pellets downrange at a 30 yd target. I wish I had thought better of it. The little HW30 will never equal that accuracy with me pulling the trigger.

That's great
Im still playing with this new Aircuda but may take the HW50s to the Range Friday.
I've had the 30 out there before and you can do 50!yards pretty good when you get locked on...And it looks like your locked
Very nice shooting.
