I got this on my Mossberg NightTrainII, and first off, i changed the crappy rings. Then i tried to zero it, but it would not focus at any range, turns out the front lens was loose, so i tightned it up, but the zero keeps changing, After zero'ing on the .308, it will not keep a zero. The glass at any zoom over 20x is unusable, The parallax adjustment is useless, its way off. Overall its garbage. Oh, i like the reticle. thats it!

I liked the socope till it stopped working. I spent $200 on ammo to get it zeroed and found out that the windage turret stopped working and it is actually now affecting the bullet drop.Now I'm going to have to deal with Barska to see if they will fix it. Also after looking at other scopes I see that the image quality is a little fogy.

I bought this rifle for my benelli R1 300 wsm rifle. after 15-16 shots the parallex went out and I thinks its becuase the rectile is loose. So im going to send it back to barska , ill let you know how they treat the issue.

Nice accurate could use more MOA all around. 80 or more would be nice. A bit on the heavy side But awsome scope. Have it on .270 7mm, 30-06, and a 300 win mag. No issues.

For the money it is rock solid. Easy to use, easy to set up. Comes with some accessories. five inch sunshade is probably the only useable item. The lens covers come off with no effort, and on my bolt action .308, one round the objective lens cover is off. The rings lack alot to be desired, order something else 5/8" or higher. Overall you can't beat the scope for the price.
