Legacy Reviewer's Review of Barska 8-32x42 AO Varmint Rifle Scope AC10830 Rifle scope

I mounted this scope on a Savage Mark II BTV. After boresighting I took a trip to the shooting range to sight in the scope. Once zeroed, the scope held zero and I was able to place 5 shots into one hole at 50yrds. However, as I increased the magnification, the cross hair seem to disappear around half the highest magnification. As I went higher, the sight picture became so blurry, that I was unable to make out what I was looking at. At the lower mags (8-12x) the scope was a dream. However it became pretty useless at any higher mags. This is disappointing as I have a couple of other Barska scopes and they work very well. They are lower mag scope though. Be cautious of this scope.
Pros: Price
Cons: Reticle, and blurry sight picture
