BARSKA 3-9x42 IR Contour Riflescope (4A Mil-Plex IR 7/8" Picatinny Base)

I bought this scope to install on my SKS rifle. I mounted it with a DC Engineering/Rifletech scope mount and was getting about 2" groups at 100 yards. I have only shot about 50 rounds through it so far, but have been very pleased with the quality of it. I used it to drop a 6-Pointer within 10 minutes of the opening day of gun season in KY this year!

I haven't tried the bullet-drop turret yet, but with it being calibrated to the .223 round, I imagine it won't do very good without customizing the turret for the 7.62x39 round. I think that it is well worth the money, and lifetime warranty to boot! Oh, and by the way, it comes with rings already mounted on it, so don't go out and buy any for it before it shows up like I did!

I've had this now for a few months and I like it.
Great scope for the price.
I'm using it on a Flat Top AR, and it fits perfectly, glass and crosshairs look good and crisp.
The controls are fairly easy to use, if you plan to do a lot of doping with the scope then you might want to go to higher end controls.
The rings use a screw on the side so you can take on and off as it pleases you.
I would recomend lock tighting the the screws (or at least use a screwdriver to get it super tight) so the screws don't losen up as you shoot.

I got this scope for my flat top AR-15 and have just got back from the range after putting 200 rounds through. I mounted the scope to an NCStar quick release riser, which then goes on the top receiver rail. As this scope has long eye relief (4 inches+), it is also handy if your riser extends forward a bit (as mine does); I found the best position for it was the NC Star riser to the front of the receiver rail, then the scope to the front of the riser rail. YMMV, but if you are like me and tend to get your head forward for a decent cheek-weld, you'll probably want to do the same. No chance at all of this thing ever hitting you in the eye, it really does have a ton of eye relief!

Zeroed it in at 100 yards - it was way off for a start, but quick and easy to adjust. Once zeroed, off a bipod, I shot three 20 round groups and was able to put on average 15 of 20 rounds onto a 3 inch target patch, each time - excellent (using 6x or 9x zoom)! Zero appears to be holding well,...Read more
