Barska Gladiator

[earthquake]

Yeah, I know, I know...

My dad bought a Barska Gladiator 30 - 90x spotter (even after I told him not to) and well, it's a complete piece of garbage. So he just gave it to me.

Is this thing worth sending to Barska to get looked at? I've never looked through one until this one, but have heard all the woe's about them on this site. I can't recall where he purchased it, and for whatever reason he didn't want to bother with returning it.

Anyway, can Barska scopes be made to even be useful? If this thing is indicative of their overall quality, then I am apalled, because this spotter is horrific. Completely blurry and I couldn't see .30-cal holes at 100 yds with it in paper. So I just can't see what they could do to make it better?

I'm not needing a door stop right now, therefore I don't know if there's anything I could do with this thing, other than send it back to Barska or have fun shooting it. Ideas?

Thanks.

I don't think there is anything Barska is going to be able to do for you on this one. Poor quality glass is poor quality glass.

I would save it for the next gun show. I bet you can turn a buck on it there.

Might as well to use it as a 3-D shooting target.
