BARSKA Blackhawk 20-60x60 Angled Spotting Scope with Tripod, Soft Carrying Case And Premium Hard Case

For The Shooting Range & Hunting
I was looking for a scope I could use at my range when shooting my ak-47 and ar-15 and other guns. I really didnt want to spend a ton of money but at the same time didnt want to buy junk. I am a once and done type of buyer. I read almost all reviews on this scope and no one really answered the questions i wanted to know and if they did answer them someone else had and exact oposite thing to say. I wanted something that i could see my shots on paper at 25,50,100,200 yards, with my experience with this scope it works GREAT for the 25,50,100 yard, it focuses in very nice and clear. at 200 yards it is somewhat harder to see the shots on white paper but it is possible. I found that if i use the black targets that glow when the bullet hits them i have no problem seeing where I hit, for me this is not a problem for the price point.. I really dont shoot 200 yard that offten. some reviews read that they didnt have a problem seeing the bullet holes at 300 yards, from my experience with this...
its all about what you want
You get what you pay for.
As others have said it does come in a nice hardcase and a seperate soft case. The tripod is decent. My issue is with the lens. If your looking to hunt game and its large like a deer and you just want a closer view of the target then this is the one for you. If your wanting to site in your rifle at different ranges and want to be able to see your hits on the paper from 100 or more yards, this may disapoint. This scope totaly loses its clarity beyond 55 power and starts to struggle at 50.
I was really hoping this scope would reduce my trips back and forth to view my shots as shooting ranges are extremely limited here and lines develope quickly when your shooting. If you can afford to spend 50.00 bucks more for a better product do it...
Good value for the money.
I purchased this scope primarily for checking targets at the shooting range. I not only find it adequate, but it slightly exceeds my expectations. True, the scope is not "hefty", but it doesn't have that "empty beer can" feel either. The glass is better than most sub-$100 scopes and I can clearly dial in 100-150yrds during the day (this is easily beyond my visual aiming acuity without a rifle scope). Easy to operate adjustments and comfortable angled eyepiece. My only ding is for short eye-relief, but hey, it is what it is. The tripod isn't great, but it's metallic and seems serviceable for sitting on the range bench. (For any other type of scope viewing activity, I would probably use my higher quality Manfrotto tripod or monopod). The carrying case is cheapy, but as long as you don't bang it around or shoot it, it should be ok for storage and transport. The soft case is a nice plus for easier portability.

For all the marginal reviews on this scope, all I can think is that...

AR15 M4 CX4 SU16 Tactical Combo Set w/ NcStar MKIII 3-9x42 Rifle Scope + NcStar Red Dot Reflex Sight

Jack of all trades, master of none.
I received this as a Christmas gift, and have had a chance to use it on 2 range trips so far. My thought is that it is a jack of all trades, master of none deal. Bikini scope covers drive me bonkers, as they tend to get misplaced once off of the glass. Also, the hood for the reflex sight is easily lost once it loosens up a bit with a few removals. It would have been great to have a flip up system for the main scope, and amazingly good to have a flip up for the reflex. It would have helped with the sun fadeout issue noted later. At a minimum, some sort of lanyard for the reflex sight cover would be a good idea.

The 3-9 scope is quite sufficient considering the expected maximum effective range of 5.56mm at 300M. If the target is further than that, you are just hoping for a lucky hit on the 12" gong in my experience. The optics are sharp, and the illumination is bright and available in red or green. The zoom function knob is VERY tight on mine, and was made even more difficult...
dont waste your money
don't let the cool looking setup fool you. this scope is not worth 200+. I paid 135 on this site and will be returning it. scope itself id adequate, reflex is terrible. adjustment screw stripped out as soon as I tried to adjust it. you can probably make your own similar setup with 300-400. Like my friend said that I didn't listen to before I bought this said "buy cheap buy twice" I will be because this scope is not a quality product.
Scope
This scope has great features and the clarity is very good for the price. Scope was easy to mount and instructions were clear.

Mueller APV AO Rifle Scope, Black, 4.5-14 x 40mm

Great Scope for an incredible price
I have now owned my Mueller scope for over a year now, mounted on a .17 HMR Savage bolt action (heavy bull barrel). All I can say is wow.

This scope is razor sharp, deadly accurate and has get ability to capture light. When shopping for a scope, I was looking at Nikons, Leupolds and similar when I discovered Muellers. After finding out that they are a Michigan company (where I live) and reading lots of reviews, I decided to try it out. Heck, they are touted as a medium quality Leupold with an entry price tag.

Well, that is 100% true and more. I find myself making the argument that these scopes are slightly better than a a mid-range Leupold.

I have since shot off about 2000 .17 rounds and the scope has kept its zero perfectly. The MOA adjustments are solid and easy to use without tools. I used Burris Zee Rings to mount it as Mueller recommended.

What is really nice about the scope too is the ability to adjust your focus from 25, 50,...
Great deal for the price!
Mounted this on my 10/22 and it works very nicely. Easy to adjust cross-hairs without extra tools. Did not come with mounting hardware.
Good clarity, Questionable Dependability
I really wanted to be one of the people that bought this scope, had zero problems, lived happily ever after and rated it 5 stars on Amazon. I am happy, overall, when i consider what it represents at it's price. I have, however, had a couple problems.

The first one i received was mounted on my bolt-action Marlin .22LR. I took it to the range for the first time, sighted it in, proceeded to shoot several tiny little groups, shot the best score i have ever put up on a 50yd. benchrest target, and then i noticed the POI started shifting gradually. I was confused to say the least. Right after i noticed the changes i spotted the culprit. The erector tube was rolling around in the objective bell! Mueller took care of this very quickly and paid for shipping. Thumbs up for their service department.

The replacement scope is optically and mechanically sound but the Adjustable-objective is off. I have to have the lens set at infinity to focus at 200+ yards. Not anywhere close...
