Review on BARSKA 30 90X100 Gladiator Spotting Scope by Michelle Pierce

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good to 200-300 meters. Period.

I thought being Barskaya was good for 500+ yards, no. 200 yards is fine, but seeing shots from 300 yards on paper is almost impossible. Optical aberrations at high magnification and distances up to 300 meters prevent use as a spotting scope. My long range rifle instructor uses a $3,000 spotting scope and can spot a hit from a mile away. Don't be fooled into thinking a cheap scope will go over 300 yards :(

Pros
  • O-ring for waterproof protection; sealed with nitrogen to prevent fogging
Cons
  • The list goes on.
