Barska 10-40x 50mm - it came on a 30-06 I bought... heavy and the battery is dead . I prefer Leupold FX 6x scopes. However, I've got this Encore in .223. I need feedback on this thing. Value if sold. How decent a scope is it? Is the battery under the cap on the power switch. It's not coming off either. Overtightened?

Too big for a paperweight, too small for a doorstop. Ditch it.

Might be the best hint, but if someone will pay for that scope....

Barska = crap in a wrapper, and it's neither good crap or a good wrapper to begin with. Poor optics, heavy, SCHIT CS and QC, tracks like garbage, adjustments are a joke... and those are just for starters.

I usually take these apart and save the lenses, so the grandkids can burn ants.

I have one.
Works great for removing tight front turn-in rings so I don't scratch the plunger handle.

tent stake maybe?

Looking on GB, they range in price from around $49 to $300 depending.

Might make a decent 22 scope to bang around in the truck but other than that - toss it.

You give that scope to someone and we'll talk about "hate". You'll end up making an enemy for life..
