I completely understand working for a living...which is why I personally (and 99% of the people here on this forum) tell people to "buy once, cry once" instead of spending good money on scopes that are of incredibly poor optical quality, suffer from tracking issues, mushy turrets, etc., etc., etc., and are highly prone to shitting the bed at any given moment.
If money is a concern, then there are budget-minded scopes on the market that work very well and have reasonable quality glass for their price point...the Barskas are not among them despite all of the anecdotal evidence in the world you can muster including your own personal experiences and those of friends/acquaintances (whatever those experience may consist of). You may get lucky if you mount the scope, zero it, and then never touch the adjustments, change magnification (if its a variable), etc., but for those of us in the world that actually USE a scope, run them hard and demand quality glass and 100% reliability we can count on to make hits on target at a variety of ranges we dial in, then the Barska scopes are SHITE!!
If your Barska scopes meets your expectations/requirements, then good on you. Just don't expect any meaningful pats on the back, congratulatory words of encouragement, "wow...good scope" etc. bullshit when you show up on a precision rifle forum touting the virtues of a garbage optic (especially on your very first post here).

Someone please enlighten me... </div></div>
Ignorance truly IS bliss for most consumers that rave about scopes like the Barskas.
As for the "good" of threads like this...hopefully people will see them, read more than the original post in the thread, and in doing so, they'll stay far, FAR away from Barska (and like) scopes.
