Re: barska or bushnell
Funny, I just bought a Bushnell 10X40 and tried out another shooter's Barska and I think it was the one you mentioned. Now, my Bushnell is not the same as the one you are thinking about but after looking through both just yesterday I'd have to say the Bushnell was a Lot better. Much brighter, but most important to me is that I had a hard time zeroing-in on a proper eye-relief on that Barska. I just couldn't find the sweet spot for my eye and the Bushnell was much more forgiving. FWIW

The Bushnell is going to have better glass than the Barska. Like oneshot onekill said, eye relief is going to play a factor as well. Hope this helps. Good luck.

Re: barska or bushnell
Its tough to compare such different scopes, and it depends upon the purpose you are using it for. all that said i trust the bushnell name more but considering the relatively low quality of the trophy line (not that its bad, just on the lower end) i would pick the scope with the features that best fits the intended function of the rig and go with that until you can upgrade.

Hang a little red dot off the side of your scope or take along a shotgun for the coyotes that get right up on ya.

On my scope... And I think pretty much all the scopes I've used the crosshairs are still sharp but the target might be out of focus. But at 5yds I wouldn't use the scope anyway. Just point and shoot and hope for the best!

With a 50 yard zero if memory serves your rifle will shoot about 3" high and be dead on at 250 to 275 yards depening on velocity and bullet type.
