Review by David W. Mead for BARSKA 3-9x42 IR Contour Riflescope (4A Mil-Plex IR 7/8" Picatinny Base) Rating: Good scope so far the included rings kind of suck but really crank them down to the rail and it should be ok. So far good out to 100 yards at 9x power prolly sittin at a 1" moa myself but that could just be my shooting. 1/4" adjustments are nice just hafta keep turning. overall a good scope at a good price.

Review by Graham Stevens for BARSKA 3-9x42 IR Contour Riflescope (4A Mil-Plex IR 7/8" Picatinny Base) Rating: Ordered on Monday and received the scope from Sportsman's Guide on Friday. My DPMS M4 AR-15 has a removeable carry handle, so this sight works just fine for me. All the features, range and trajectory adjustments are tight. No slop here. Comes with rings mounted. On mounting, I discovered that the illumination feature did not work. I switched batteries and still no luck. Although the sight is made in China... it is well constructed for a $59 sight. Called Sportsman and they will send out a UPS return label... Customer service with Sportsman was very professional. Meanwhile I'm ordering another unit and hope it will work. Only down side is time spent waiting and not shooting.

Review by PStoutenburg for BARSKA 3-9x42 IR Contour Riflescope (4A Mil-Plex IR 7/8" Picatinny Base) Rating: I received this item and could not make it align. I took it to a gunsmith who assured me it was not me; the scope would not align. I was sorry about that, but the vendor was outstanding in their customer service. The took it back and promptly credited my account. I will buy from them again.

Review by Brazen_atl for BARSKA 3-9x42 IR Contour Riflescope (4A Mil-Plex IR 7/8" Picatinny Base) Rating: I've had this now for a few months and I like it.
Great scope for the price.
I'm using it on a Flat Top AR, and it fits perfectly, glass and crosshairs look good and crisp.
The controls are fairly easy to use, if you plan to do a lot of doping with the scope then you might want to go to higher end controls.
The rings use a screw on the side so you can take on and off as it pleases you.
I would recomend lock tighting the the screws (or at least use a screwdriver to get it super tight) so the screws don't losen up as you shoot.

Review by Josh Perry for BARSKA 3-9x42 IR Contour Riflescope (4A Mil-Plex IR 7/8" Picatinny Base) Rating: I bought this scope to install on my SKS rifle. I mounted it with a DC Engineering/Rifletech scope mount and was getting about 2" groups at 100 yards. I have only shot about 50 rounds through it so far, but have been very pleased with the quality of it. I used it to drop a 6-Pointer within 10 minutes of the opening day of gun season in KY this year!

I haven't tried the bullet-drop turret yet, but with it being calibrated to the .223 round, I imagine it won't do very good without customizing the turret for the 7.62x39 round. I think that it is well worth the money, and lifetime warranty to boot! Oh, and by the way, it comes with rings already mounted on it, so don't go out and buy any for it before it shows up like I did!
