Customize Your View

A side adjustable rheostat allows the user to quickly adjust the color and brightness of the Mil-Dot reticle. Adjust the reticle to green for easier targeting in bright atmosphere. Select the red reticle when targeting in lowlight or indoor situations.

Glare Reduction

A built-in angled sunshade helps minimize glare on the objective lens, which in turn provides a clearer view to the user. This sunshade also works to reduce scope glint when targeting in sunny atmosphere.

Locked In

External windage and elevation turrets allow the user to quickly adjust the impact point without needing to remove turret caps. Tighten the collar around the turret to ensure the turret is locked in order to prevent any unintentional adjustments.

Covers

Two flip-up scope caps help prevent dust buildup and moisture on the lenses during storage and transport. These covers quickly open at the touch of a thumb, and can be accessed ambidextrously.

I'm happy with the purchase. It appears that it'll do the job I purchased it for.
4 Stars
I'm happy with the purchase. It appears that it'll do the job I purchased it for.
Mounted on a Hi-Point 995TS with ease. I have filed the two plastic bumps on the rear rail so my red-dot sight can be used further back on the rail, but that's not needed for this scope. With about 4" of eye relief the scope sets far enough forward that no modification to the rail is needed, at least not for me. The clamps are plenty strong and I have to suggest that those having trouble installing the scope need to re-read the instructions. The instructions clearly state the ring mounts MUST be loosened so the mounts slide into the correct locations on the rail - then level the scope and tighten the screws. The only disappointment was with the installed battery, it was fairly dead, but Barska included 2 extra batteries. Once swapped out the scopes illumination works perfectly and can be set so bright as to light up the inside of the scope body and not just the cross hairs. I give Barska a pass on this because they include spring loaded flip up front and rear lens covers which are not shown in the Amazon pictures. They are rubber and slide on and off easily if you want to remove them. Personally I like them so I don't have to keep track of where I laid my lens covers. Focus was fairly easy and again, follow the instructions. It's clearly stated to focus on something at distance. You can't focus this scope from something across the living room. I also thought I had a broken part because I heard a rattle when I picked up or moved the scope (prior to mounting) then I realized it was the mounting screws making the noise - doh! I still haven't sighted in the scope but expect it'll perform well. The worst part of this product are the instructions - they take some re-reading to figure out what needs to be done. I'd say they could be condensed down and simplified a great deal. The pictures below of through the sight are at maximum brightness. The range of brightness is very good, down to almost undetectable which would be great for night firing, to very bright for bright daylight. Other than the above, the only real complaint was the shipping. This is a Prime product fulfilled by Amazon but it took 4 days for the product to ship. Once shipped it arrived in one day - since this is fulfilled by Amazon I wonder why took so long to process the order? So far I'm pleased with the purchase.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fulfills it's purpose
Reviewed in the United States on October 1, 2017
I just mounted and sighted this scope at the range today with great success. I purchased this as a scout-style scope for my Savage Hog Hunter .308. I didn't really have any major issues and the scope performed as expected. Some thoughts follow:

1). First of all read the whole manual before attempting to do anything else. It's one page. You can handle it.
2). Yup, eye relief isn't great. You get about 2.5 inches. That's still enough to mount on my .308 safely and not worry about the scope making contact with me when I shoot. I did have to mount it all the way back on my rail, so it's not sitting directly over the receiver, but it works.
3). If you're mounting this on a real gun, not an air soft toy, use blue lloctite on the threads when you attach it to the rail. Find the proper tool and tighten it up good. Then, your scope won't come lose, regardless of the caliber.
4). Expect this to work well for short-barreled guns for short to medium-range shots. You're not going to shoot 1000 yard shots with a 4x. It just ain't gonna happen. You can probably do about 300, 500 if you're a Marine. If you think you're Chris Kylie and you need to get into a lot more scope, there are affordable, no-frills hunting type scopes made by Barska also sold on Amazon that will do just fine.
5). I like this as a good scope for a scout or brush gun. I'm not great with a rifle and do not expect to engage past 100-200 yards, especially in the wooded, forest terrain where I live. The illumination will come in handy in darker, wooded areas. I would trust it for deer and medium-sized game at the aforementioned range.
6) it's super easy to mount and super easy to adjust. As noted, read the manual.

Hope all this helps. Enjoy!
