Barska - Barska IR SWAT Extreme 10-40x50mm Tactical Rifle Scopes 50mm w/ Rings

I first bought a 8-32x44 swat. I didnt even make it to the range. All the mounts are garbage i wouldnt put on a any rifle, i screwed the sun shade on and off and the whole forword objective unscrewed with it. when i called barska they said they would fix it if i paid for shipping both ways at $40 each way. I called optics planet to see if there was something they could do and they were great. We ended up upgrading me to a 10-40x50 swat with just the added money for the scope. Its been 2 years, 8 sets of rings, 3 bases, 2 trips to a gun smith and the mounting was ruled out the scope will not return to zero, or accurately ajust even out to 500yrds with my 308. As a side note i took a hourus hawk off one of my hunting guns and my 308 groups nicely at 600 on 12 power. The swat is a waste of money, time and effort you get what you pay for and in the custumer suport i receved from barska i found that they dont know much about how they setup the scope. RUN AS FAR AWAY AS YOU CAN. I think i'll buy a burris, nikon, or bushenell when i go for cheep.
Pros: it has a low price tag
Cons: function is not repetable
