Why did barska discontinue this outstanding value-for-money scope?!? - Barska SWAT 8-32x44 IR Tactical Rifle Scopes w/ Mil-Dot Illuminated Reticle, Sunshade & Rings

Alamo-308's Review of Barska SWAT 8-32x44 IR Tactical Rifle Scopes w/ Mil-Dot Illuminated Reticle, Sunshade & Rings
Okay, I bought a *very* high end .22 match rifle (Vudoo V22S), and at the same time a mid-range-priced scope, cost about twice as much as this model Barska. Used the new scope about 1,000 rounds during barrel break-in, then moved to ammo evaluations (Eley, Lapua, SK, etc.). After a couple hundred rounds of ammo testing, I was still not perfectly happy with the scope, so replaced with my 'old' Barska SWAT 8-32x44 IR. Groups tightened, seemed like same ammos shot better with the Barska! I'll stick with the lower price Barska now for next month's match, and put the newer, more expensive scope on my Kimber 82G and see how it does there. NOTE: Both scopes are 30mm tubes.
Pros:
Crisp reticle both illuminated and not
precise, tactile adjustments
great parallax adjustment
Cons:
None for me
Best Used for:
Target shooting
.22 competition
Would Recommend:
Yes
