Good for the money - Barska 1-4x28 Mil Dot Reticle Rifle Scope

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!
