I'd like comments on the Barska® AR 15 / M16 Electro Scope.  I know it's a cheap scope but my funds are limited and I rather buy ammo. Thanks

For an inexpensive optic, it's decent.

I have one mounted on my 16" Bushmaster, I've only shot it out to 100 yds and it works pretty well at that distance. I'm not sure if I'd use it beyond that range however, because being only 4x it's isn't a spectacular zoom. At 100, you'll have a decent magnification of your target, but don't expect to be able to see your shot placement.

All in all I bought mine due to limited funds as well, and I can't say I'm dissapointed in it, and it probably won't be replaced on my rifle untill I can afford a TA31.

Hope this helps

I bought 1 Barska scope.  Never again...

I have one and it is OK for the price.  It is not 4x - it is 1x (no magnification.)  I prefer it to a basic red dot because the reticle works better for distant targets (out to 300 yards or so.)

Mine is not on an AR, though - it is on a FN PS90.
