If you do a search you'll see that there are a few names in optics that are almost universally (and justifiably) disliked: Barska, Leapers, BSA, and a few others.

Chicom crap.

I actually got to watch an AR-15 eat a Barska last year. Nothing special, just a typical M-4 style carbine. The owner was popping away at some poor , undeserving beer cans, and stopped to find the objective lens had cracked right down the middle.He deep sixed the scope, and stepped up to a Burris Signature, although he didn't relish spending the money. Better to spend it once now, then to keep replacing other scopes till you find a keeper.

Well I did the search you guys suggested. Yes, there is a lot of negtive feed back on Barska scopes. To bad I didn't look at this forum before I ordered it from competitor.com Oh well I am going to mount it on my .270 and see what happens. I will post my feedback after I test it.
