Anyone have any experience with this barska scope?

[Turbomrdeuce]

I'm trying to find info on this scope but haven't had luck. I just want to know if it will take the recoil from my 7mm mag without ruining the reticle. Here's the scope link.

I have a 6-20x by 40 on a Saiga 7.62. Shot over 200 rounds through it without issues.

I hope that helps. The zero is not perfect, but seems fairly consistant. Could be my side mount or the scope.

It's really a 6-12x at ranges less than 100 yards... I thought I understood optics until I bought this scope.. But I only paid like $55 for mine..

Good luck, Barska IIRC is a solid Soviet/former Soviet brand...

i have a barska it is a p.o.s.

I don't know if I would use the word "solid" to describe Barska. They are a very low quality brand with a reputation to match. And that's coming from someone who owns a Barska that I've never had any problems with. I consider myself lucky.
OP, it's never a good idea to skimp on optics. If it's an option for you, I would wait a while and save up the coin to get a high quality product.

i would buy their binoculars and spotting scopes, but they have too many mixed reviews on their rifle scopes. Below are some customer reviews from Optic Planet, and they look pretty bad. For that price range and specs, you may want to consider Simmon Classic Whitetail or Vortex Crossfire.

maybe you can buy it from walmart. have it shipped to your local walmart, try it out, if it sucks, then return it.

Barska is cyrillic for, "Crap-o-la." Pinch your pennies, and save some more first. Leupold would be as a CHEAP as I would go on a 7mm mag.

im not trying to go cheap but I'm also not trying to invest too much on a scope. Whats the point of having a 1000$ scope if your not a marksmen. The scope is really only as good as the shooter and believe me I'm still a newb to this whole shooting scene.

Even if you aimed East and the bullet went West, you'd still be able to "outshoot" a Barska.

lmao. I got a barska on my .22 it works great imo but what do I know. I got bad eyes and my 3-9 40 scope at 100 is ok but id like better. What do you suggest? Give me a link to a good scope

[Droppin Deuces]

What's your price range?

[Turbomrdeuce]

What's your price range?

id like not to go more than 200 but if i have to i will, reason being I'm buying a glock 19 for my wife and a xd9 with a ar15 that i want a eotech for. Plus i want a 1911 so id rather not dump a assload of money on a scope which will prolong me in my gun purchases

Nikon prostaff is 150 and you can definitely trust nikon. Read reviews about it.

Check out Redfield as well. They seem to be right around that range and are made in the same building as Leupold.
