Spotting Scope Bargain

Post by Dwight45 » Sun May 17, 2009 11:24 pm

I bought a Barska Blackhawk 20-60X60 model AD10350 spotting scope for $120 that I'm very happy with. I used it at the range today, shooting from 50 yards. I was able to see the bullet holes clearly at all power settings, even X60. Then when I aimed the scope at a target on the adjacent 100 yard range, about 125 yards from where I sat, I still got a sharp image of those holes at all power settings. The range required me to keep my glasses on at all times, but I was able to see my target by just placing my glasses up against the eye piece.

I know Barska's products have got mixed reviews, but I read a lot of positive ones about this model on Midway's site before buying it, and I have to agree with all those happy shooters. The scope comes with nice hard and soft cases, and a tripod that kept it good and steady today. :D

I don't have a Barska spotter but do have a Barska 8-32x50AO scope on my Ruger 10/22 DSP and it works just fine. Usually shoot st 25 yards just for fun but have tired it at the other distances and can see no problem. I don't néed a big name optic to impress, I just buy what I can afford and it works.
You have great day and shoot straight and may the Good Lord smile on you.
