Reviews & Ratings for Barska 3-12x56 IR Euro-30 Pro Rifle Scopes w/ 4A Illuminated Cross Reticle - AC10024 Rifle Scope — 9 reviews — Page 1

The rest of the people providing reviews are probably barska Chinese employees! Barska scopes as bad as they can get. I made a huge mistake of actually buying 3 Barska scopes for my son's rifles. You see, I spent quite a bit of money for getting 3 guns for my 12, 14 and 15 year olds sons. And I kind of went cheap with the scopes. My older son (used to guns already) got a 270 single shot rifle. He wanted a sight with small magnifigation. We got for him a Barska 4x28 sight. On the first shot, the reticle turned upside down!! OK, we thought the 270 has too much kick for these kind of scopes. We next tried my other son's 223. The scope under this review (3-12x56). We bore sighted the scope at 50 yards and indeed first shot was 0,5 inch from center. Next shot, the bullet went to the ground!!I thought what the hell, what we did wrong. Check base, rings, everything was fine. Tried another shot, this time we hit the top of the target frame. Next shot, the reticle flipped 90 degrees!! Jesus Christ. Talking about embarrassment on the range. My kids were looking at me like I was the cheapest dad in the world. And believe me, I'm not a cheap guy. I thought for a second that I can get my sons some fun shooting on the range without spending too much money. No, wasn't meant to be. And the story gets worst!!This time with my youngest son and his 17 HMR!! You got to be kidding me. His rifle has absolutely no recoil! We mounted a Barska 3-9x52. First shot at 50 yards was a couple of inches to ...

Have used this scope for some years now especially at night.Ideal for hog hunting.
Great for low light situations.Illuminated reticle a real bonus for what you are paying.
Mounted on a tikka 30.06

Pros: Low light usage

I bought two AC10024 Barska riflescopes for my adult sons. The clarity is very good. The illuminated red cross excels in low light conditions. It lets in more light than my Leupold Vari XX. In fact, it puts the Leupold to shame in low light conditions and matches or betters the clarity of the Leupold. This scope is worth every penny. Free shipping too. But order a good set of rings. Rings come with the scope but splurge a little to upgrade the rings.
Pros: good quality, low price, free shipping, backed up by OpticsPlanet
Cons: none that I've experienced.

Perfect fits my Remington 770 cal.30-06

I did at least 100 shots, and it still working. This scope is worth that money you pay for it.
Cons: Ilumination does not shut off automaticaly.

very good for hunters
Pros: excellent price, compareble with expensive scopes
Cons: none

Good lowlight scope. Illuminated crosshairs are a nice feature. Best scope for the money, it's clear in all powers, easy focusing. I have a Leupold vari X II abd this scope matches clarity with the Leupold and permits much more light in dawn and dusk conditions than the Leupold. The lifetime warranty is also a plus.
Pros: compares very well with other expensive scopes
Cons: I haven't found a problem with them

A very nice scope with excelent low light visablity. IR is well formed and easy to use. Only downfall is that batteries are tough to change but they last awile so no worries there.
Pros: 56mm, IR(illuminated reticle),
Cons: only mid range power (12x max)
