Like everybody else I shoot rimfire benchrest.I was fortunate to shoot a race gun with a 55X Nightforce.This ain't no Nightforce, but Boy Howdy does it do a fine job for a man with shallow pockets.

Scope ok, fast shipment. But if I knew that it will come from outside of EU i would order some other place, much cheaper.

Lunette plus que correcte, les clics sont francs, le réglage de parallaxe efficace, le réticule mildot assez fin, elle est juste un poil laiteuse à partir de x20, mais à ce prix là on fait pas mieux.Parfait pour une 22lr de loisir.

So far so good, seems to be a very nice optic for the price, image seems clear, focus work perfectly, AO adjustment seems to work as well, a bit fuzzy over 20x but still managable. Didn't try it with my rifle yet (Remington 700 .308 Winchester) but confident it should hold zero.

actually very surprised at the quality of this fine optic. Put approx 100 rounds of 243 through, and still dead zero.Even at max 16 power still clear and bright thanks

Note: You can see a video review I made on youtube by typing on the search box: "Rifle Scope Review Barska 6.5-20x50mm AO Target Dot Reticle Tracking" and search for thugrepo video, should be the first one.I bought this scope about a month ago and Ive been doing some respectable shooting with it. Around 1000 bullets on 6-7 outings to the range.First impression: its a big scope, if you have a short barreled weapon consider getting something smaller as this might look a bit ridiculous. It has a mate black wich does not get scratched that easily. Its not heavy compared to smaller sizes scopes Ive held before.The magnification ring moves without any problem as well as the AO. Good looking scope overal if you dont mind the 50mm objectiva (wich needs to be taken in mind when buying rings since this does not come with them)Sighting in process: I had no trouble whatsoever with the sight in process. Fired a couple of shots at 25 yards just to find the paper and then 4 more shots and I was zeroed at 50 yards. This is a 1/8" at 100 yards click value wich is good if youre planning to shoot at longer distances.Scope clarity: Ive read a lot of people claiming that their scopes is completely clear a 20x. This is true at 50 or 100 yards but if you try at about 200 or farther it becomes foggy and fining a good clear field of view becomes tricky and more like a hunt. Keep it a 16-17x tops and youll have a cristal clear image. Dont use this scope for low light situations, personally I dont find it comfortable to shoot at dawn.Tracking: I ran a tracking test on it at 50 yards with a .22 LR fired from a CZ 511 semiauto with cheap ammo and even this is not the best platform to do this it managed quite well to draw a very uniform square and returned to its zero. (This needs to be done by a more experienced shooter and a more accurate rifle)I cant vouch for it holding to a higher caliber rifle since Ive only shot it on a .22 but based on the previous reviews .243 would be the higher Id go with it.The adjustable objective works like charm, you just focus at your desired distance and the image becomes crisp and clear.Shot a .22 standard velocity 40 grains bullet at 200 yards and ran out of elevation. So if youre planing long distance shooting with small caliber this is not for you.One of the defects I found was the resetable turret caps, they are held with 3 bolts and on my windage one even the bolts are tight its still a little loose wich makes it hard to set it on the exact zero.I rated it 4 stars because of the previous defect mentioned and because of the image degrading/becoming foggy in full magnification at longer distances and the fact that it is really difficult to get a clear field of view after 18x.If youre on a budget and really need something with higher magnification this scope is one you should take in to consideration seriously. If budget is not a issue keep looking somewhere else.

Buyer Background: I am new to the gun world. 7 months new at time of this purchase with about 3,000 rounds fire in different calibers. Target shooting is lots of fun. First scope owned was a retail store $55.00, 3-9x32 for a 10/22 purchased four months before this Barska. Really enjoy the scope on the .22. Desired a larger more powerful scope for a Saiga AK 7.62X39 to be able to see further down range. The reviews before purchase were promising to me so I went with this scope. Because I appreciate those who take the time to do indepth reviews I thought I would pay it forward with this review to help future buyers.Delivery: I got the free shipping from Amazon and it took about 10 days. I little long but it was free.First Impression: It is big. Looked through it out my office window and I thought WOW. All I knew at this point was the scope on my .22 and this was a few steps up in magnification. Although the appearance is nice, it does look a little simple or cheap compared to the $500+ scopes out there.The Mount: I went with a UTG 5th Gen. quick release mount since my Saiga has the mount "slot" on the left (opposite of the slide). It wraps over the dust cover sitting a little high which is perfect for the big 50mm front lens. This helped to not need taller mounts. Look for my review in the mount itself for more info..coming soon. Seems to be to big and heavy to withstand the recoil of my Saiga, we will see.Appearance: My Saiga is stock (live in CA, bummer) but the mount and scope makes it look a lot more serious. Check out the pictures.Weight: Probably added another 3 lbs. from scope and mount.Sighting: I used a bore laser to sight it in at home up to 25 yrds. Took it to the range and sighted it 50 yrds, it took some patience because it was a bright day and I had a hard time seen the laser dot. I finalized the sighting at 50 with about 20 rounds (like I said I am new at this).Field Test: After sighting it in I fired another 40 rounds and ended my field test on this peace on day one...switch firearms. First day was windy and a little frustrating. Went back three days later with the 10/22 and the Saiga both scoped. I had targets at 50 and 100 yrds and went to work. At 100 yrds I used the Barska scope to find where the .22 landed on paper, my eyesight also is not the best but with this scope, no need for a spotting scope. You can see .22 holes very clearly at 100 yrds. Just to be clear, I would fire the 10/22, put it down and grab the Saiga to look through the Barska scope.My second day was perfect for sighting in and practicing with the Saiga. The air was very calm, I don't think the air was moving at all. I put a bunch of targets at 100 yrds and hit them consistently. Since my Barska scope was sighted at 50 yrds I had to aim about 4 inches lower to hit a bulls eye which I did a few times. Here is my ammo count so far on the Saiga. Day one = 40, Day two = 20, took off scope with quick release mount and slid it back on to test for accuracy after unmount/remount. Still centered, maybe 1/2 inch off at 50 yrds but it could have been me. Fired another 20, removed scope and mount again, remounted and fired another 5 and still good to go. Total shots fired: 85. I removed the mount in order to know if I will be centered after cleanings. Will test soon at 150, 200, 250 and 300 yrds.Scope Clarity: Blurry after about 17 power. I am satisfied with clarity up to 17. The 50mm lens is incredible. It comes with handy lens covers.Price: I left my price comments towards the end because well...had I paid $1 and had it not worked, I would have overpaid. This is not the case though, It works fine so far it handles the recoil of an AK well (just hold the rifle tight). I priced others and I am very happy with it and for under $61 this is awesome. I am planning to hunt with this during the next deer season.Other: I can't help you with the MOA, wind knobs, and all that. I do not know the terminology yet. What I do know is you can poke an eye out at a 100 yards (the eye of the game you are hunting that is) with this scope and an AK.
