I was just wondering about Barska optics...  I do not see much from things I have read on here so I just have to ask...  What does everyone think about Barska scopes?

Barska is not well thought of on this particular forum.
 
MANY, MANY threads (some rather humorous) can be viewed on Barska if you utilize the search feature, friend.

Not one of my favorites, I'd much rather have a tasco world class, if this is my budget.

I think I'd bump the budget a hair and buy an SI.

Too pricey on some models and lack the quality.I would buy a Bushnell Legend or a Sightron S1 or even a Bushnell Elite 3200 for an upgrade.
