Barska 4-16x50 Sniper Rifle Scope, 30mm Tube, Illuminated Mil-Dot Reticle, 1/8 MOA, Black

The Barska 4-16x50 sniper rifle scope brings long-range precision within reach for hunters and competitive shooters who demand clarity and reliability at distance. Built on a 30mm tube with a 1/8 MOA adjustment resolution, this scope delivers the repeatability and fine-tuning capability serious riflemen expect. Whether you're setting up for a high-country hunt, preparing for a precision rifle match, or dialing in a duty rifle, the 4-16x magnification range covers the practical spectrum from mid-range work to extended-distance target engagement.

The illuminated mil-dot reticle is where this scope earns its working name. Switchable between green and red, with five brightness levels per color, the reticle adapts to your light conditions—green shines in daylight, red pulls targets out of dawn and dusk gloom. Multi-coated optics maximize light transmission and provide UV protection, so the image stays crisp and true whether you're glassing at first light or tracking movement in variable conditions. The construction is built to handle recoil and the occasional bump without losing zero, a baseline expectation in this category that Barska delivers on.

This is a scope designed for work: military applications, serious hunting, and range discipline. The included sun shade sits recessed in the housing to cut glint and improve contrast, and you get rings and lens caps in the box—no separate shopping required. It's not a budget tool masquerading as something it's not; it's a no-nonsense optic for shooters who need repeatability and won't waste time second-guessing their glass.

Frequently Asked Questions

What rifle will this scope fit?

The scope includes mounting rings and a 30mm tube. Compatibility depends on your rifle's mounting platform—Picatinny rails, Weaver systems, and standard dovetails are all common options. Verify your rifle's system before purchase and ensure your rings match both the 30mm tube and your rifle's base.

Is this scope good for hunting?

Yes. The 4-16x magnification range and illuminated reticle make it suitable for hunting scenarios where range and light conditions vary. The illuminated mil-dot reticle switches between green and red with adjustable brightness, supporting both daylight and low-light hunting situations like dawn and dusk.

Can I use this scope in low light?

The illuminated reticle with a red setting and adjustable brightness helps in low-light conditions such as early morning or evening. The 50mm objective also gathers more light than smaller lenses. However, performance in extremely dim conditions depends on available ambient light—the reticle illumination helps visibility but cannot create light where none exists.

What happens if I bump or drop this scope?

The scope is built with impact-resistant construction designed to withstand recoil and maintain zero if bumped or dropped. That said, a severe impact or drop may still cause damage—always handle optics carefully and consider retesting zero after significant impact.
