bargain scope - bargain quality
(3 out of 5) by Onepoint on Aug 18, 2006 (Wyoming)I use this one myself on a varminting rifle and am generally satisfied with it. Having said that, the low price usually means compromise on features and quality, and this one is no different.
The good- 1/8 MOA adjustments with covered finger adjustable target turrets, very fine cross hair with center dot that doesn't cover up small targets at distance, solid repeatable adjustments for windage and elevation. Clear and bright glass at low and medium power settings.
The bad - At high power settings, particularly over 16x, the view becomes distorted and has glare, and gets worse with every power setting up to 20x.
The bottom line is this a is a pretty decent variable to 16x scope with adjustable objective for the money, if you can live with the obvious flaws with it, (with higher magnification problems limiting its usefulness). Despite them it performs well enough I am not looking to get rid of it myself.

Great item. Perfect for distance shooting
(5 out of 5) by Elliot Christoffersen on Nov 29, 2007The scope works flawless. Crystal clear sight on any magnification. Has alternate distance settings to focus anywhere from 25 yards to 300 yards. Lightweight so there is not a lot of weight to affect your aim. Finger nob turret adjustment so no coin or screwdriver to adjust the scope.

Barska rifle scope
(5 out of 5) by Carrie Jenkins on Jan 12, 2008 (SF Bay area)I use this scope on a .270 with a fair amount of recoil. It requires the use of steel bases and steel rings to prevent the weight of this unit from causing loss of zero. The field of view is outstanding and even with a bad eye I am able to repeat impact points at the target range. I consider this as a great buy for the economy minded. It works well.
