Mysterioso's Review of Barska Excavator 6-24x50 Illuminated Rifle Scope w/ Adjustable Objective - AC10556 Rifle Scope
Good scope for the money. I like that it has an object focus on the optic bell and a parallax corrector on the object bell. Really helps to zero in on your target. Another thing is that the turrets can be zeroed after you zero the reticle at your desired yardage. You loosen three tiny screws on the turret and re-position it at zero or what ever number you want to start at. The lens caps are really nice and come with the scope. There is a long sun shade for the object lens that I don't think will ever come into use. Even though you get scope rings too, I used a better pair with 4 lock down screws. The turrets turn crisp and stop well. Three things that are a little on the negative side. One, the reticle cross hairs are very thin, very, very thin. What makes up for that is that the reticle dot, when off or illuminated, is easy to see. Two, the sight picture through the scope seems to have a small diameter. When you've got your proper eye relief there is a lot of black tube around the picture. I've read some reviews where guys have said they can't see the IR dot when illuminated. Well, its not for daytime use. Its for very low light or dark. Then its a small bright red dot. The third thing is that the eye relief is not 3.6 inches as advertised, its closer to 2 - 2.5 inches. Kinda short for a high powered rifle. You'll have to hold it tight into your shoulder. Okay I guess for you air puff gunners. Other than that I really like this scope
