Reviews & Ratings for Barska 1-4x28 Mil Dot Reticle Rifle Scope — 16 reviews — Page 1

The only problems that I have with this sight is the adjustment dials can slip while turning them, you have to tighten them up with the supplied Allen wrench and you can't see the reticle glowing green or red in daylight (they might be for twilight use only). Other than that it holds a zero with no problems.

While looking for a red dot scope, I was looking for something with magnification, that I found what I was looking for in this barska scope,read the reviews and one commented on the blur when looking through the scope.I thought maybe they unfortunately just got a bad scope, wasn't the case apparently because I had the same problem,shame to it's good looking scope. Save yourself the problem of returning it, I couldn't get past the lack of clarity.

Got this specifically as a low magnification pistol caliber carbine scope. First 500 rounds on a 9mm Ruger PC carbine. Moved the scope to a .357sig ASR, and somewhere into the 6th box of ammo, the reticle is canted bout 45 degrees. 357Sig has kick but nowhere near as much as a .223/5.56, which makes me wonder how many rounds the positive review AR people put through their rifles before leaving reviews.

This is a great scope for the money. It has two small flaws which I will get out of the way up front. First, the lowest magnification isn't a true 1x and it has quite a bit of barrel distortion (which is fair, it's a budget 1-4x). I can still use it with both eyes open, but of course it isn't as comfortable as an unmagnified sight or an expensive 1-whateverx scope. The other issue is that getting the front cap to stay on unassisted is impossible because of that slanted shade thing on the scope, so just tape that on right when you get it.

Despite its shortcomings, this is a good scope for the money. It holds zero, the quality at 4x isn't bad at all, and it has longer eye relief than a lot of other budget scopes (and my much-loved Vortex 3x prism scope for that matter).

I did some research and decided on this along with a QD picatinny riser to give my dad to use on his Kel-tec Sub-2000, so the included cantilever mount was a bonus for the task of making a scope work on that strange beast. When it's all together it looks like something Dr. Frankenstein would appreciate, but it fits my dad's needs perfectly!

I received this as a gift after I bought my M1A. So far so good. Had to buy a lower scope mount for it since it’s kinda high for a M1A. Mounted good. Illumination is almost perfect. Exactly what I like. A crosshair that illuminates not just a dot. Gonna take it to range soon. Will update if I have any issues.

I love this scope!!!I purchased this sight strictly as a night scope to hunt hogs on our lease but after using it I keep it on my AR15 even when target shooting n deer hunting. It has improved my accuracy tremendously n is a joy to shoot.

the barska scope i purchased is of good high quality.The item shipped quick and I am very satisfied.I will recommend this scope to my family and friends.The scope mounted easily and I had no issues with the process of sighting the weapon in

The rules for high power competition have changed to allow optics, which is boon for aging eyes. The bullseye pistol guys have been doing it for years. The problem is that the optic has to meet NRA criteria - 4.5x maginification max, and objective lens 34mm max. There's not many scopes out there that fill the bill for NRA high power and the ones that do cost around $2000. This was the only one I could find at a decent price. It has a mildot reticle which is fast and easy once you're used to it. Beats cranking on your windage knob and then you forget how many clicks you had on it. The only issue is that the parallax is set at 100 yards, so you have to be sure your eye is centered behind the lens to get parallax free at greater distance. But for the price it is well worth it. Hey, I'm no master class shooter anyway, but at least now I can make a decent showing.

Scope is good but mount is junk and Barska wont stand behind their product. They alter the front bolt for some reason and made it weak. When you tighten the bolt it just stretches and wont tighten down. When I contacted Barska they said this is how they make the mount so if they sent me a new one it would just do the same thing. Don't waste your money. Buy a Burris or even a Ncstar. I tried to leave a review on Barska's website and it says, "Company Name will check your comments before posting them and reserves the right to deny any review." I bought a Burris.

For the money this scope has great features nice heavy duty mount mil dot reticle also has laminated reticle plus it has a very heavy duty mounting system. The turret locking system is nice I wish you didn't have to loosen allen screws to rezero the windage and elevation turrets. all in all I really like this scope which I'll use for target self defence and hunting on my AR556 .
