BARSKA 1×30 IR M16 Electro Sight Riflescope

Great Scope for Great Price
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
Bought this for my Doublestar AR-15 and couldn’t be more pleased. Adjustable brightness red-dot works great in all sorts of lighting conditions. Took it to the range the other day and had it sighted/adjusted in within 10 or so rounds, then just kept pumping about another 70 rounds down range at multiple targets with easily a 2″ grouping at 75 yards. Mounts very easily and stays sturdy although you might want to crank down on the tightening knobs the first time to eliminate any movement. For the price it is, you really can not beat it, scope itself feels built solidly, and just looks great on my gun. Worth it!

Awesome

Bought from cables4you. Very satisfied. got item right away. Orignally ordered from Sportsman Guide last month, was backordered for a while, they moved the order further back after ive been waiting a month so i cancelled. ordered from Cables4you and got it in a bout a week. only about ten dollars more. Awesome product. Very sturdy. If you dont feel like blowing $900 on an ACOG, this is the way to go!!

1X Red Dot not 4X Acog, thirty bucks cheaper out of HK
Rating:3 out of 5 stars
The military ACOG is 4X, this is just a 1X Red Dot, I got a replica out of HK off the bigger auction site you all know for thirty bucks cheaper including shipping.

Underpriced!!! Very good ACOG replacement.
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
Based on what you would pay for this scope, you would think you get what you pay for. Tested as a Military Operator/myself, this item is just as good as a Trijicon Acog. The sight holds its zero after being dropped and several shots. I’m amazed why this item is that less of price. I WOULD TAKE THIS SCOPE TO WAR IF I COULD!!! Its that reliable.

Poor quality and craftsmanship

I was new to Tactical/Practical rifle shooting. I quickly realized I wanted a red-dot optic but wasn’t very educated on the options.

I saw this online and thought it was a good value. I looked at the MSRP and thought that this was a great deal. Save $200? Well, let me tell you that on no planet is this a $200+ optic.

I received the unit and mounted it. On my first unit, the system never held its zero more than 10-20 rounds. There was a wobble in the mount and i had to take the unit apart and use some blue Loc-Tite. This solved the problem. However, after rebuilding the unit like it should have been built at the factory, I remounted on my AR-15. When remounting, one of the mounting bolts on the side completely sheared off. This rendered the unit useless. I received a replacement, and this too never could hold its zero. I returned it and upgraded to a Bushnell Trophy MP tactical. That unit is a quality “discount” optic. It by no means is in the same class as an EOTech, Aimpoint or the superb ACOG, but its a solid optic.

Don’t waste your time with this unit. Save up for another month and get the Bushnell Trophy MP Tactical, or wait even longer for the EOTech or Aimpoint.

This unit is a loser.

Excellent!!!

Extremely user-friendly, does not come loose when firing as other sights sometimes do. Usual adjustments for the vertical and horizontal planes and the look of an ACOG give the weapon a more tactical, personalized look.

Beware of Sports mans guide!

This item holds zero on my saiga 308 and for the PRICE it’s well worth it.It also resembles the trijicon ACOG.vey pleased with it and will be purchasing another under $60.00 US (NICE).

Good sight, reasonable price.

I have this sight mounted on a GSG 5, 22LR. I have run about 500 rounds with it, and it’s seems to be holding zero very well.

I ordered this scope soon after completing my AR..I had an idea what to expect and anticipated a quality product, that would allow me quick target acquisition and an accurate shot..My son took me out to sight in the carbine on Father’s Day..it worked perfectly, I was on target and within 10 shots was within an inch at 75 yards..I wouldn’t hesitate to purchase this for you AR/M4.

Great product for the price
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I put this on my AR this past weekend ( 3/16/08 ).

Went to the range and fixed the sight in. Works great I was impressed for the price I paid.

Decent for amount paid
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
I purchased this for my RRA entry tactical. The sight is pretty durable, stays zeroed, and mounts pretty well. quick target acquisition, the reticle has a MOA compensator on it, and a selectable brightness. I wasn’t expecting that.

The only downside is that the zeroing process is a little troublesome (screw caps and 1/4 turns per inch) and after about 120 rounds, the reticle started to malfunction, the recoil must have caused the projector to come loose a bit.(due to rapid firing, I’m sure of it)

and it arrived late.

Great Timing
Rating:3 out of 5 stars
I just received my Barska AR-15 scope. My wife ordered the scope for me for a birthday gift. The scope arrived on the day of, Great Timing!!!! The scope is very similar to the Red Dot scopes on the market. I like the design of this specific scope for it’s molded shape with the attachment base,(there are no scope rings to keep tighting). The scope gives a clean look to the weapon. I haven’t had the chance to shoot using the scope as of yet, but I plan on mounting it on my AR-15. Great Timing Guys and Thanks, I let you know how the shooting goes, Later.

Nice deal
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
So Amazon is using USPS now that sucked but once the scope got here it took me 2 minutes to mount it and only 10 rounds to sight it in at 100 yards I mounted this scope to an AK 47 it works awesome very sturdy feel the sight lit up inside is very nice one of the best scopes ive seen in along time especially for the price worth the purchase

Very happy so far…
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
Excellent product thus far. I’m interested in how long it will last. The installation was simple and fast… fit flawlessly on the rail of my Hi Point 995 TS. The brightness settings are great… adjustments are a good thing. That said, when I dial it in tomorrow, I’m sure I will be even more pleased than I am now.

Solid/sturdy build. Attached firmly to the rail – doesn’t look like it will move at all (thankfully). Operation is simple, great red dot for the consumer looking for something on a budget with quality in mind.

Best ACOG scope
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
First of all I mounted this on my crosman stinger r34 m4 which is a spring gun but i really like it. It looks just like the military isussed ACOG and thats really why i got it. But it works very well, it has a red cross in the middle and the screen is very clear. I also bought a AR-15 rail mount to put it on and it fits nicely. All in all, this is the best buy for an ACOG scope on the market.

Not worth the money.
Rating:2 out of 5 stars
To accurately rate this scope you have to determine what you want to use it for. If you want true accuracy spend another 100 bucks or so and buy a Lupold VI for $229. The scope seems to be decently built but I did not try it on anything but an AR 15 with very little recoil. How it would hold up to a hevier load is undertermined. The scope is small in overall dementions and has avery narrow field of view at 100 yards which makes it difficult to quiclky fix on a target. Very large (fat) cross hairs block out the entire center of most 100 yard targets. The scope would work fine for close in targets where you can keep both your eyes open but it is not very accurate at any distance. You can forget shots over 100 yards the cross hairs are just to big. If you are going to spend money on ammo and you want your ammo to hit the center of a target you would be well advised to spend a little more and buy a better optic.

Holy crap is great!!

So I saw this, and thought it was too good to be true. Had my doubts, and when it came, I put it on my AR-15, and it is actually fantastic!! I showed this to a few friends too and they all loved it! Its accurate (once you sight it in, takes a few shots), and it looks good, its not cheaply made really, its sturdy and very presentable. Great battery life, I accidentally left the scope on for a few days, went to go mess with the rifle and noticed it was still on and still as bright as the day I got the thing. Dont be thrown off by the price, its a fantastic product! I would reccoment this to anyone.

I bought two of these for my two AR’s because they looked like a much more expensive brand and because of some of the reviews others have put on these. After I placed them on my weapons, I took them to the range and they worked real well and sighted in real quick. If I ever need a sight for another AR, I will get another one.

Nice looking
Rating:3 out of 5 stars
The scope optics are not great, however the base clips solidly to the rail system and it zeros quickly and holds zero from shot to shot. I have not removed it from the rail and put it back on to see if it continues to hold zero, but I would guess that it would based on how solid it locks up. I seemed to have a problem with glare through the scope, the day that I was setting it up, which would be my biggest negative comment. It does look good sitting on top of my AR 57.

Great product for the the money. I would give it a 5 star rating. I put it on my AR-15 last week and shot about one hundred rounds at 50 yds. excellent grouping.

Easy to install and to zero. Just make sure you tighten both bolts securing the scope before zeroing. For the price cannot beat it! Glad I bought this!

not bad for the money

seems to be a pretty decent product. only gripe i have is the crosshairs look blurry in a low light environment. i would buy another one but i might check out the competition first for a few extra dollars.

after researching this item, a Barska scope,i had to purchase it…i was familiar with the product line but the price was unbelievable….i could not find a better price anywhere…the only agony was waiting for the money to purchase it….but thats the way it is for me shopping at Amazon….a looooong wish list…

Nice scope. Feels solidly built. mounts well and easy to adjust. Out of the box it was only about 1.5inch from zero. In just a couple minutes I was putting all my rounds in the X ring at 50 yrds. The only thing that would make me like it more is if it had a magnification lens, although the 1x is fine.

Looked very promising
Rating:1 out of 5 stars
Well I bought one because of all the good reviews and because it looked like a solid red dot system.

But when I received it in the mail and hooked it onto my AR-18, I turned it on only to find out that instead of a recticle, there was a giant red blob that filled up about half the lense. Well I thought that this was just bad luck and I had recieved the one bad one they made so I sent it back for a replacement (which was really fast). However the replacement I recieved had the exact same problem. Amazon gave me a full refund, but now I am tasked with findin another red dot scope.

Excellent Red dot/Red Crosshair for your AR15 M4 5.56 black rifle
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
A great Red dot scope. After shopping around for a few months, I wanted a red dot scope for my custom built new Franken 5.56mm/ .223 RRA/CMMG/Bushmaster M4 16 Carbine build. This is my SHTF/ Personal Defense weapon, I didnt want any Chinese Aimpoint clone that would break when the wind changes direction or defending against an intruder, nor a break the bank $500 Aimpoint that has only a single red dot. The bushnell trophy 1×30 T-dot had rave reviews and i loved the 2MOA dot and 10MOA T reticle, but at 200 bucks… That seemed alot. So Barska, seemed to be perfect, a 2MOA dot with surrounding 10 MOA Crosshair reticle that seemed to be rugged, [...], and a faster to acquire reticle. ITs not a Trijicon ACOG 4×32, that i would love to have, but its at its highest setting it is nicely bright in the summer time middle of the desert (no clouds) shooten range, and nicely dim in at lowest setting in the dark. The mount seems stable, but after firing 70 rounds at the range, it loosened up the screws. I have to admit i didnt screw it on tight, but the zeroing held no problems. It took about 30 rds( 3 x 10 rd groups) of .223 ammo to zero it at 50 yards. Probably could have done it in 15 rds. Groups were tight at 1.5in. The only down side, i wish it had some lens caps, but i dont care, I can find some online somewhere. BArka nicely included an extra set of LR44 batteries and Microfiber cleaning cloth. Id rather have the extra batteries. I recommend this over an aimpoint because it saves u alot of money, its fairly rugged and will withstand 12Ga, AR15 rapid fire, and is really bright in bright light desert conditions.

Red dot sight. Barska.

This is a nice sight for its price. I have a very basic AR15 and I wanted a very basic red dot sight to put on it. This was actually more than what I expected. Very happy with it. Highly recommended.

Fragile, needs TLC
Rating:1 out of 5 stars

Out of the box, build quality looked good, felt solid.

Mounted it on a Ruger PC-4 — it’s a .40S&W carbine. Scope zero’ed easily. But after shooting 35 rounds of pistol caliber ammo, the scope flew (no, it didn’t fall) off the gun. The scope seperated from the base. Took the base off and tried to reattach it to the scope. The bad news is the scope body is made from cheap metal and the screw holes were stripped. The good news is the scope and red dot still works after dropping 5 feet on concrete. This one gets 1 star for costing me $73. Got this from Sportsman’s Guide – backordered 40 days – another winner.

No, this scope is not shockproof. No way the Barska will hold up to anything like a .308 or shottie. It might be OK for an Airsoft or .22LR, but iffy for a .223.

Great Deal

BARSKA 1×30 IR M-16 Electro Sight Riflescope

Skeptical as I was, and not believing that a quality Red Dot sight could not possibly be purchased for under $100, I bought a BARSKA to give it a try on my M-4 clone.

Surprise, surprise! It’s a great product, provides very good accuracy and appears to be a rugged design. This sight compares to my Bushnell Holo-Sights at less than 1/3 the cost. I am going to buy a couple more.

This is my first red dot scope so I have nothing to compare it with, but this works great. I have not adjusted the sight since. Accurate in 100 yrds. For less money… ftw!

Best cheap scope I’ve seen
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
This scope is a bit heavy. Looks really nice, well built. I was able to zero in 4 shots (probably not typical) at about 70 yards. My only complaint is that the rail fastening nuts are on the same side as my charging handle (Sig 556) and were in the way. I reversed the hardware to fix the problem. Now the scope sits a bit farther back but doesn’t seem like it will come loose. I am extremely happy with this purchase.
