Most Helpful Positive Review Barska 3-12x40 airgun scope.
I first bought one these scopes as a "starter scope" for my RWS 350 magnum. You know something cheap to get me by. Well let me say i was shocked when i opened the box. Nice finish, smooth adjustments, clear optics all the way to 12X, finger tip windage and elevation adjustments. A great "looking" sc...

Most Helpful Negative Review air gun rated?? not my air gun...
I got this scope yesterday and was excited to mount it on my Benjamin Titan Nitro piston .22 cal air gun. the scope that came with it was lacking and i thought this combo would be perfect. I don't know if this airgun is considered "magnum class", but it is capable of shooting a .22 at 950fps (alloy ...

Can’t raise elevation.

by Fezlvr, from IA, United States Written on March 6, 2024
Anyone else had problems adjusting elevation? Mounted on Gamo pellet rifle & tried sighting in using rifle rest. At 25 yards wasn’t hitting target at all! Aimed 4” below bullseye, it hit 4” above bullseye. Adjusted lower (opposite direction of up arrow) no change, still high. Made ridiculous number of clicks down, no change, still 4” high aiming 4” low of bullseye. Gotta be a bad scope. contacting Optics Planet to return. Sad.

by TONY M, Verified Owner from VA, United States Written on June 11, 2017
Nicely made scope. Quality was so good, I put it on my bolt action 22lr. rifle that I use for Plinking. All my upper class rifles all have Redfield scopes. I wouldnt cut this one short though. The price was definately right

Tremendous value

by Chris, from GA, United States Written on August 29, 2016
Bought this scope for an air rifle and it performs perfectly. This is a good price for a great scope that is clear, has easy adjustment and stays on target. If your looking for that one scope that has it all for a low price, this is it.

Air gun scope

by Redneck, from MO, United States Written on February 12, 2016
I put it on a my .177 gamo whisper fusion pellet gun. At 50 yards my groups are 4"apart. Same results with different types of pellets. On that gun I had to put a shim because I couldn't adjust the scope high enough. The scope is also blurry in sunny conditions. But I could be used to my Leopold's on my other guns . I took it squirrel hunting it's hard to see them in the trees when it's sunny and yet to hit one because I don't think it holds good enough groups for that type of animal . It's a little on the heavy side too but looks good . I gave it a three-star because it's better than all the other scopes I tried so far.

Great valve-Great performer

by Mr. Wizard, from OH, United States Written on April 9, 2015
I wanted to give the Barska BK-RS-AC10008 a fare chance on my 1980 RWS Diana 45.
This rifle has a history of knocking air rifle scope out of zero in 30 to 50 shots. I now have 500 shots with it and it still holds zero. With the first focal plane mil dot system it takes accuracy to a new level. I was so impressed that I bought Barska 4x16x50 mm first focal plane mil dot scope for my Savage Mark II BTVS with the same results. Try it you'll like it.

Very Pleased .

by HEM, from MD, United States Written on November 25, 2014
I originally decided to buy this scope after I realized the having a scope with AO and no magnification ability wasn't going to cut it. I actually just used it today for the first time since I got my new 1" 1 Piece scope mount last night (which by the way is the only reason I'm not giving a 5 star rating. I had 2 other sets of rings and mounts but none were able to keep the 40mm lens off the barrel of my Gamo Hornet).Either way it only took about 10 shots to zero it in and I took out a crow at about 25yds right after that. Hopefully it continues to perform and doesn't break down on me like the last scope.
Happy with it so far.

HEM
