If you want to get rid of that Leupold....If the outside is not beat up.  I have a Vortex Crossfire I will swap you.  It's a 6-25X50 AO. 1 inch tube.  Just to big for my rifle. Light ring marks, no dents.  Mil-dot, box, paper work,  sun shade, finger adjustable tall target turrets.  I bought it used off SFWA and never used it. It's a nice clean looking scope.   Lifetime warranty.  No IR.

thanks lazydrifer but as good as that sounds ill have to pass im looking for a less power magnification than that im looking for a minimum of 4x and maximum of 16x. 6x-25x is too much for the deer and elk hunting i do none of the shots ive had for deer or elk have been over 150yds so 4x is a good minimum for me.

anyone have one of these or know if its any good?? $99 delivered to your door sounds WAAAAAAAAAAAY too good to be true especially for a IR MIL dot scope with those magnifications and 50mm. all the ratings on the page say its good but just sounds ways to good to be true. ive never really heard of barska scopes before other than red dot sights. anyone have any clue? looks pretty sweet for $99 but i have a leupold 3x9 that fogs up every season and im getting sick of it plus i like the mil dot idea i do alot of long range shooting with my R700 .300 win mag as well as deer/elk hunting. my pops tells me to stop looking at it cuz its probably sheet but i just dont know. what do you all think??
I have one of these Barska 4x16x50 , i will trade you for your leupold 3x9.  :chuckle:

thanks dad98684 but ill have to pass on that too haha dont want one anymore sooooory
:chuckle: i would'nt make that trade either.  :chuckle:

i would put a barska on a 22 or something, but not a 300winny. 

if your going cheap there are several options through bushnell banner, nikon and redfeild low model scopes. if you want to step it up there is always meopta, or minox in the next price range up.

barska puts illuminated reticles on many of their scopes because its cheaper than putting nicer glass in them to transmit more light.   

A couple of guys over in germany ordered the 30mm tube european models with all the fixings and were pretty dissapointed..... even for only 100 bucks.

It sounds like it's time to get a new gun.

ive been also looking at the Leupold VX-L series any thought on those?


The vx-l series are complete quality.  Awesome clarity and light sensitivity.  If you meticulously search online you can end up getting a great deal on one.  I got one on my rifle and can't imagine ever wanting more.
