Barska 10-40X50 swat scope

hk-91

how would you rate this scope. I dont want to here from the ( have to have night force groupe here. if i could afford it i would have one. unless you plan of sending me one.) I have a buddy that has this scope of his 50 bmg. I'm thinking its just a flouc that its held up this long but his still holds a sub moa at 2oo yard so it should hold up to a 300 win mag. I guess what i'm asking is does anyone else have this scope on something this powerfull. With being laid off i cant afford anything better this this right now for my rem 700 with knoxx recoil reduction stock. I currently have a simmons 6-24-40 on it now but want something with more power for longer range target practice.

You don't need more power, you need clearer glass. You only get clearer glass by paying more money. Sorry that's as far as I know. Others will give you more detail. 24x magnification should be enough to reach as far as a .300 WM will go.

I am no fan of Barska.

I am not one to buy those high dollar scopes either.

Take it for what you paid for it, but my advice would be to pass on anything Barska.

I wont bash Barska because they are what they are and people buy them knowing this.
I have a couple of the Barska 10-40 SWAT scopes and I just use them for plinking, target, and pdogs. They work ok for the money but once you approach the higher magnifcations, the sight picture gets to dark for my liking. And this is in the middle of a sunny day. Get closer to dusk or dawn and forget it.
One neat thing about 40power scopes is that when you are shooting at 100yard targets, the one inch squares are one inch in your scope. Easy to see your last hole.
