Does anyone make a high quality scope with the old TV screen wide view like the old Japanese Tasco scopes from the 70s and 80s?

I don't think so. I have 2 of the old weavers and a couple of the redfield widefields that still function. They are pretty good for hunting timber. I have one on a muzzleloader and a couple others on old 760's.
But, I don't think redfield has a version anymore. Which is fine because they are now chinese made since academy bought the brand from leupold.

No, but most of your high quality scopes do limit their FOV because Swarovski will sue them if they don't.

Now I know why the Leica’s and Swaro’s don’t play nice in the safe when nobody is looking
