Title: Barska 3-12X40 mm, AO
Post by: Spark Master on January 11, 2016, 06:59:20 PM
I picked up a used one from a friend and we mounted it on a Trail NP, took some torment to get it sighted in but it seems nice. My buddy made me do the work as he stood by, so I would learn to do it right.

I have read many nasty reviews and just a small number of good ones. Any comments on it, will I cry a year from now?

Then we put a random Beeman on the Crosman Storm XT and sighting it in is painful, more then on the Barska.

thanks

 No clue what your really asking? is a scope suppose to make it easier to sight in? More or less? Can you be specific on what scope?

The scope is a Barska 3-12X40mm,AO. I had read so many nasty comments on the company and the products, AFTER, I picked it up. My buddy never had issues with it, so I am wondering if other here have had bad or good  experiences with them, so will I be sorry I picked this up a year from now.

 You can tell us the rest of the story after about 1000 pellets.  ;)

I've got one mounted on my Hammerli 850.  No problems with it at all, and AO adjustments do not change the POI.   No recoil though so it's living an easy life.
