[QUOTE="bruce_ventura, post: 694797, member: 34084"] Ditto here. You're asking too much for that price, unless you find a good used scope. Let me be blunt. Counter sniper scopes are low quality in all regards - I've inspected them. The company is run by marketing BS artists. They largely make sales off of people who are ignorant and don't use the Internet. Barska makes a few decent scopes, but also a lot of junk. it's hard to keep on top of it, so I don't bother. Also, I wouldn't assume that two scopes are made in the same factory just because they look similar. There is a lot of copying done in China. I recommend that you either increase your budget or back off on features and focus on basics. For long range hunting you need good mechanical and optical performance. Within your budget you could find a few decent mildot SFP variable mag scopes. Or, you could consider a fixed 10X, 16X, or 20X scope. There are several out there, even with 50 mm objectives (preferred). I personally like Hawke Sidewinder 30 scopes. All-around good scopes for the price. Call Alicia at HighPowerOptics.com for a good price on Hawke scopes. Tell her you're a member here. I just got a Super Sniper 20X50 for a project at work. I'll post my experience with it in a few weeks. Lots of folks here like Vortex and Sightron scopes, but I think they are better suited to range work because the contrast is sub-par. [/QUOTE]
