Sub moa at 500 yards - Barska 10-40X50 AO Varmint Rifle Scope

Warpig's Review of Barska 10-40X50 AO Varmint Rifle Scope
I bought into all the hype and bought a vortex scope for my Ruger precision 6.5 Creedmore and it's a great scope but it's more expensive than the rifle. I recently bought a new Savage stealth in .338 Lapua and a friend of mine had a barska 10x40-50AO Varmint that he had never used. I put it on the Stealth and shot .243 m.o.a. at 500 yards and continue to shoot sub m.o.a with the hard hitting.338. never loses zero and not one single problem. If I was a tactical shooter and lives depended on me I would opt for a higher end scope because my vortex is a little clearer at high magnification and a little brighter. At the range I routinley out shoot guys with high dollar scopes and if you do get a bad one their customer service will make it right.
Pros:
Inexpensive, accurate and tough
Cons:
Slightly less clear, slightly less light transmission
Best Used for:
Long Range Target
Would Recommend:
Yes
