Pros:
-Clear glass, no visible distortions
-Compact form factor
-Holds zero (if you can get one)
-Focus ring works well
Cons:
-Adjustment knobs. The elevation knob has the word "UP" printed on it, and the windage knob has the word "RIGHT." There is no arrow to indicate which direction up or right are, so the markings it does have are effectively useless. Also, the amount of adjustment per click is not indicated anywhere on the scope or in the accompanying documentation, so I had to SWAG it.
-The O-rings underneath the caps are too large, too soft and not secured by anything. If I try to snug the caps down, they just mash out of the gap and do nothing.
-The scope and base were so misaligned with the rifle that there literally wasn't enough adjustment range to get the scope zeroed. I was able to shift the scope by putting shims between the scope and base, but in my opinion "pointing directly ahead" should be a feature that comes standard from the factory.
-Eye relief. This optic does NOT have long eye relief, and the eye relief zone is quite narrow. It's sufficient for use on an AR-15, but be prepared to choose between extreme scope shadow or constant scope bite if you mount this scope on any rifle with significant recoil.
All in all, if you want to spend $200 on a $50 riflescope, this is the product for you.
Would recommend: No

I was excited to get this mildot as a stigmatizm prevents the effective use of several red dots I own. The scope was perfect on my MPX and worked well until a crack developed at the bottom of the inner front lense.
I contacted barska for repair and they replied the they no longer do repairs.
Very disappointed that eventually the crack will grow and make this sight useless....

bought this scope for a budget build without doing my research. Man, do I ever regret that decision.
-the windage and elevation knobs click, but they don't actually adjust anything
-whatever they meant by unlimited eye relief, it's a flat out lie
-the warranty is garbage
-the customer service is THE WORST I have ever dealt with
-this is essentially a useless paperweight
Spend your money on a Vortex, unlimited lifetime warranty, if it breaks, they fix or replace it no questions.
DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON BARSKA GARBAGE; YOU MIGHT AS WELL SHRED AND BURN YOUR HEARD EARNED $$$
Pros:
- none, worst scope ever produced
Cons:
- everything, literally everything
Would recommend: No

Glad I bought this scope it works great up at the range. Accurate out of the box and a nice design. If I had anything else to say about the scope I would but it’s a nice scope and works for what I got it for and it’s a nice design clear vision and easy to set up

Looks good - trust me it is not!

Spent a day at the range attempting to sight in would rattle loosen on my Stag Arms AR- pure junk sight.
