BARSKA 4-16x50 Benchmark Targeting Riflescopes 30mm (Black Matte)


Well built but power ring hard to turn.
This is a big scope at 14.5 inches long. When you first take it out of the package you will notice that it is much heavier that similar sized scopes that cost less. This is good. The windage and elevation knobs are sealed with o-rings and the parallax focus knob is not sloppy. You will not bump it out of adjustment. My only complaint so far is the power adjustment ring is hard to turn. Very hard to turn. So much so that I called barska because I didn't want to break my new scope. They were absolutely no help at all. They immediately gave the warranty schpeel to which I said I just want to talk with a technician to see if this is correct. I was transferred and immediately hung up on. The power ring eventually gave way and is getting easier to turn the more I work with it. I am using it on a custom Saiga .308 as a designated marksman rifle. When I sight it in and have some range time behind the scope I will update this review. I have high expectations.

Update 3/26/2013: I...
Nice
Better than expected. clear with little to no distortion. Holds zero after being knocked around and used on a hunting trip.
