Researched a lot of spotting scopes for the 100-200 price range. This is a great ruggedized & waterproof product the money spent. Overall very satisfied with purchase. Optics Planet has great service, shipping was prompt.

I'm from colombia and practice air pistol (10m) anf free pistol (50m), and here, the prices of an sppoting scopes are above the clouds. Looking for a cheap an reliable equipment, I found the barska, and when I have it in my hands, you can`t imagine the image its has, it's clear, crisp an perfect, very litle refraction and only in 60x, I easy can see a .22 hole at 50m "in the black" whith perfect acurracy. For me, it's the best buy for the price.

I ordered the angled Barska Blackhawk scope for rifle shooting with intention to see 100 yard 6 inch targets. The fit and finish of the scope is very good as is the hard & soft cases. But the tripod is a bit flimsy. The optics produce crisp images at lower magnification up to 40x. But at the max 60x magnification, the image is significantly dimmer and focus needs to be adjusted and remains a bit fuzzy. If you frequently use the 60x magnification, then I suggest the larger 70mm objective model for more light gathering ability. It'll be worth the added cost. Otherwise you can't beat the price performance that Barska products provide.

This scope has NO practical eye relief. A pain to use on a shooting range.
