BARSKA 4x21 AO SKS Electro Sight Rifle Scope

I bought this scope from Amazon last Christmas ($48 back then) but didn't take it out to the range until recently. After a couple of shots the reticle started rotating and is now at a 45 degree angle (like an X). I called Barska for a warranty replacement, and they require that I include $15 to cover the warranty replacement (return shipping). If I need to cover the shipping BOTH ways, that's half of what the thing cost in the first place. I'd rather put the $25 towards a better scope from someone else.

I bought this primarily for the reticle, which I liked. It seems sturdy and it has withstood one range trip on my SKS. As others stated, the vertical adjustment is akward and the manual is useless. Make sure you get 30mm rings for mounting.

I've had it for a few months now, and it's holding up nicely. The optics are pretty clear, and it's pretty hefty, and heavy. The field of view is pretty wide, and the reticle is useful for ranging distances, and bullet drop. The vertical adjusting knob is quite unusual, and allows you to set zero, by taking off the knob and repositioning.

The manual however need some serious work, as it's pretty useless.
