I really like the 50mm large objective lense , gathers low light well! Easy to sight in. I’ve got way more experience scopes that I don’t like as well! Great for ARs and shotguns alike. I wish it came with a green dot as well! My 1st Barska scope! I like it better than my Sig Romeo 5. Only con is it’s a little heavy! Love it❤️
Pros:
- Gathers light, big lense, accurate
Would recommend: Yes

Had one for 15 years using 38 caliber target ammo in a revolver for falling plate competition. Wide field of view made it very easy to re-acquire sight picture on the series of 6 plates. But lens finally cracked when I used maximum load 357 magnum ammo for a handgun hunt. Still hunted successfully with cracked lens. Am buying another to replace it for handgun plate competitions. Largest red dot tube & fils of view available.
Pros:
- Price and install ease
- durability with low calibers
Best Used for:
- Recreational metal plate competition
Would recommend: Yes

I thought most red dots were supposed to be "wherever the red dot is, that's where the bullet will hit." And although I haven't tried it out at the range yet, just turning it on and looking through it, you have to have your eye pretty much directly behind the center of the glass. If you move even an inch to the left or right, the red dot will drift and deform in the opposite direction. I think it will still be very usable, just doesn't act like a reflex sight would.
Pros:
- Inexpensive
- Large reticle size
- Good adjustability
Cons:
- Relatively poor red dot function
Best Used for:
- Home Defense
- plinking
- Close Range
Would recommend: Yes

I mounted this on an SKS to a "scout mount" rail which replaced the rear sight leaf. Easy to sight in, very pleased with it so far. Many brightness levels to find your preference for lighting conditions. Had no trouble centering 12" group around the bull at 100 yards offhand without really trying. I like the 50mm lens, but it is large. Others might prefer the 42mm or 30mm versions
Pros: clear view, 11 brightness levels, seems to be well built for the price
Cons: brightness level control a little stiff, but not a deal-killer
Would recommend: Yes

Strong red dot w/battery replaced. Great addition to a HiPoint carbine. Wide field of vision, dead on accuracy when adjusted. Would buy again.
Pros: as advertised, great quality for the money
Cons: weak battery, intemittent and small dot
Would recommend: Yes

After 2 months on backorder, I finally received the scope. After opening it up I realised that the front lense inside the scope was broken. What a dissapointment, opticsplanet and Barska need to have a better quality assurance system, and take a little more responsibility for their products. Very unhappy with barska I do not recommend any barska products if this is what you have to look forward to:
-A really long wait
-Poor craftsmanship
Pros: looks nice
Cons: Poor quality even for the price
Would recommend: No

Recieved broken. Barska Rep. stated that it was broken when shipped from factory. Have ordered several products from Opicsplanet.com and they have arrived fast, ready to use and with no defects.
Pros: Cost
Cons: everything
Would recommend: No

It's hard to beat Barska with their great quality and great prices. This sight is very good. I recommend these "tube" sights over any of the low profile single glass pane sights. Those sights have tiny allen set screws that strip the top if you are not careful. This sight has simple adjustments similar to other sights that you set and forget. One thing about this sight is that it is LARGE. I like it, but If I had to do it again, I would have bought a 40mm barska sight.
Pros: great quality & great price
Cons: none
Would recommend: Yes
