    Obviously, you get what you pay for but in this case I paid $20 for both at a pawn shop. The Nikon on the left is a much better noc than the Tasco on the right...but.
    The Tasco seemed to view fine until recently where I'm seeing double. I've individually focused the sides to each eye properly. Everything is in focus, but I'm seeing dual focused images.
    I pick up the Nikon's to see if it's my eye's and the view is perfect through them. I'm wondering if maybe the Tasco's barrels were knocked out of alignment?

    I have a pair of the Tascos. I bought em as a cheap pair off of Amazon for less they $30.
    They're not very good lol! I just got em for my day pack for short hikes.
    I have a nice set of Bushnells I hunt and 3D with.
    You did good at $20, the Nikons are well worth that.

    If your seeing double, you've knocked them out of alignment. Not hard to do on cheap ones, although I've done it to a $1500 pair too. The difference is they replaced the good ones for free and Tasco will most likely tell you to go pound sound. Best thing you could do is break them in half and make a pair of monoculars :laugh:
