Barska 10-40x50 Varmit Scope does anybody have one? If so do you like it? I have one. But last week . It went way off zero ay 100 yards on a AR. It was falling over and I had the caps off. The guy I let shoot it. Might have bumped the knobs. Maybe not. But it was down and to the right about 6 inches in both directions.

I had to move to 50 yards to see where the rounds were going.

Has this happened to anybody else. Not bumping it?

Other than this . I like the scope. If it is the scope it goes back to Barska.

Well I am not sure if it was scope or the knobs being turned. I will find out next time out. If it is the scope. They have a lifetime warranty.:D

The last time I used a Barska it ended up being the target for the Bench shooters. Returned 3X to the factory and it was the same thing each time...fail to hold zero after 20 rounds. Also 3 out of 4 Bushnells have failed.
I strayed from Leo and paid the price. With the money I spent on those scopes I could of bought a new Vari X.

There are at least 2 different lines of barska scopes that seem to be made in decent factories. Our illuminated 3x12 Huntmaster is on a Rem 760 in .30-06 and is relaible although the optics aren't the worlds best. I've heard the Euro style Barskas are not good quality.
