Q:

Barska Scopes

Saw this scope and spotter combo and was wondering if anyone has used this brand, and would it be comparable to a Hawk tactical in that same price range ($320-350)?
Thanks,
RS.

“The other scopes in the comparison are inexpensive, but very competent for the money. Very quickly it turned out that the only thing the Barska has in common with those scopes is the price. In every other way possible, this is a truly sorry excuse for a rifle scope.”

This say’s it all, and it exactly mirrors my experience with Barska scopes.

The best advice I can give on scopes is to spend as much as you can afford and buy quality. Cheap optics and scope mounts have caused me more problems than any other.

Yeah that’s what I had figured. Thanks for the insight guys.

I have had and still have two Barska’s, both airguns scopes, one a 3×12 AO Mildot and the other a 2×7 AO Mildot.

They have not leaked, they still work, they are slow to track and they were both under $60.00 each. They have not shaken loose, but also have only been on PCP’s. I still use them daily after a year and a half.

If your going to spend that much money get a 3200 Bushnell on sale.

I followed Sams advice, after a fashion ๐Ÿ˜› , and upgraded to a 7×21 Mildot 3200, what a stellar piece of glass it is.

My Barskas do indeed work, but I would be uncomfortable paying over $100.00 for one.

Noooooo not at all. I,ve no experience with either. But do a search here on the TAG. You’ll see no bad comments about the Hawke’s here, but you’ll also see no good comments about the Barska.

My 2 ยข’s forget the sales gimmick and buy the Hawke and don’t look back!
