Does Barska make a good quality rifle scope?

I have a Barska 4-16X50mm with illuminated reticle mounted on a mossberg 243 cal. This rifle is used for everything from ground hog to white tail, to include a lot of target shooting. For the price, the scope cannot be beat. All I can say is that combo is a "tack driver" at all distances. My 16 year old son reloads rounds for it, anyone who fires it hits the target! I am talking 100 - 200 yards , 3 round group size of a quarter!

You get what you pay for.
In other words, they're O.K. - but I wouldn't trust them for much besides plinking/target shooting.

Barska is Junk, with a capital J. Go with a Simmons or entry level Bushnell if money is a factor. You get what you pay for, especially with scopes.
