I asked for this scope for my birthday, kinda skeptical because of the price and other reviews, but it is fantastic for the money.
Clarity is VERY nice for the price. Certainly not Nikon or Leupold clarity, but for $75, having 16x zoom, and an AO, this glass is definitely worth the money. At 16x it's a little hard to get a good picture, but fine tuning the AO will give you a very nice, clear picture.
The knobs have a more precise feeling than a Nikon Prostaff that I have. I wish it had mil-dot though.
I can't comment on durability because it's mounted on a .22lr so it's obviously not being tested.
This scope is a very good buy, especially if you're shooting rimfire. You won't be disappointed with this one. Barska has a winner here.
Pros: Great zoom, AO, clarity
Cons: doesn't taste good
