anybody try the Barska scopes

[Valar]

I found a deal on the Barska 4x16x50 sniper scope. Mil dot with green alluminated in low light. Target turrets etc. Has anyone tried one of these? Awfull cheap at 100.00 bucks. I was wondering if the hold zero? I doubt it but if you have insight please let me know. Thanks Kent

i got a 4-16x50 a few years back when it was called the blackhawk by barska (they change the name ever so often to make it look like its a diffrent scope) this thing is the biggest piece of junk i have ever seen and i use alot of 25-80 dollar optics, i got the first one in the mail and when i looked through it there was a piece of a seal or something+ blocking out the cross hairs sent it back and got the second one and it will not hold zero even on a .22! you can lock it down in a vise and tap the side of the scope and watch the cross hairs move with each tap! the adjustments are hit and miss with 99% of these scopes! i will never put money on any optic made by barska! do a search over on the snipershide.com or snipercentral.com and you will find out what people think of these that do alot of shooting!

Thank you for the feed back. That is what I figured! Much appreciated. I will stick with Nikon and leupold for now.
