First off, let me advise you that this scope is obviously not designed for close-range/hunting applications. It is a long-range optical device intended entirely for long, well-placed, well-planned shots. Most scopes having a 50mm objective lens will be brighter than this scope. It simply does not bring in as much as light as one would expect from a 50mm. The scope arrives very clean and appears to be well made. The adjustments are firm and thus far appear to be accurate. The rings provided in the Barska box are absolutely terrible. They are made of aluminum and broke under the recoil of my .30 caliber rifle after only a few rounds. I would strongly suggest using Leupold bases and rings. After installing Leupold bases and rings, the scope dialed in @ 100 yards in four rounds. I have consistantly placed three round groups in the bull's eye that are capable of being covered with a dime. Obviously, the scope is consistant.

A very solid and forgiving scope. I've shot more than 100 rounds of mule kicking recoil 50 BMGs using this scope and it hasn't flinched. Dead on accurate even after a beating. Very clear, good adjustment features (never a problem with rings or pieces getting loose). A great buy and even better at its price!

Possably the best riflescope out there (in my experience), it has helped me become a better shooter with my guns. When I first stuck the riflescope on my gun I was a non-beleiver. After I used it and got my Elk, I was impressed. Hunting season is coming again soon and I plan to use this riflescope again!

Best of the best of all kinds of riflescopes. A great buy! Get it!

This is the Greatest value for the design and features listed. I would like to see a lifetime no cost replacement like Leupold but that would be my personal opinion only. I also currently own a Barska spotting scope and I plan on getting a set of their binoculars in the near future.
