I have no idea. It definitely appears to be an older one. I’ve had a few Tasco’s that I liked a lot. No bashing here. Maybe google the scope for some info
I love a pair of steiner binoculars that I got several years ago. They are autofocus. The good is you just pickup and enjoy looking at whatever. You can also just leave on the end table. If he’s going to want to really zoom in and pick things apart then a spotting scope is probably better...
