I knew this scope wasn't made for airsoft rifles, but I mounted this baby on my UTG Master Sniper, and they seem to have been made for each other. They complement each other nicely in looks, feel, and operability. The scope comes with the necessary rings, two flip up lens covers, protective lens covers (which, unfortunately, drastically reduce visibility) and a sunshade that will practically eliminate glare unless you're looking straight at the sun itself. I've used this scope every other day for nearly 8 months and it does its job like its fresh out of the box. Only complaint I've got is that the mounting rings are rusting, which has me baffled because they haven't had any contact with water or any other sever element. The scope itself is fine though. Magnification is great, though detail is slightly blurred at high magnification. I back this one all the way!

My dad bought this scope for his 30.06 deer rifle about a month ago. He raved about it's performance during the sighting in process. He then used it to bag a monster 12 point @ appx. 200 yards, drilled it right where he put the xhairs on opening morning.

The old Simmons scope on my .300WMG broke that morning and fogged up. Since Dad's hunt was done, I borrowed his rifle/scope combo and hit the woods the next three days, where I used it to drop a nice 5 point at about 75 yards, popped him right where I set the hairs. This scope provided an unbelievable field of view and really cut through the glare as I was looking into the rising sun. I could barely see my deer with the naked eye due to the glare, but he was crystal through the scope. I could see the individual whiskers on his face!

I love Barska products' performance and price. I can't attest to their reliability but that's only because I have not owned any of their products for more than a year, but so far so good. I will be buying this model Barska to replace that craptastic Simmons on my .300WMG

4 stars only b/c the reliability grade is "Incomplete;" otherwise it would be a 5.

The Optics in this scope are great. No fuzzyness very clear and easy to adjust.

Boy, what a scope! The outter shell is pure steel, diferent from my previous 4x15 tasco scope, wich was alluminium alloy and bend and broke within a month. The optics quality is impressive, crystal clear even shooting at moonlight. However, it doesent fit the trail fof my airgun. But its so dam good tht I'll just have it forged in the barrel. And was so cheap!

This is a wonderful scope, especially for the price range. I had it bore-sited onto my .22, and after dialing it in, I'm now consistently hitting targets out to 100 yards. The image is clear and sharp, and the cross hairs are small enough not to cover your target, but easily seen. Focuses with amazing clarity on anything over 25 yards or so, and the magnification works beautifully for me, all the way up to 20x. The elevation and windage dials work beautifully. The only thing to be warned of is the fact that the 50mm objective lens is huge! This makes the scope function incredibly, but I had to buy really tall scope rings to get the scope high enough off the barrel. I can't recommend this scope highly enough.
