Hunting History

Hunting game for food, clothing and shelter is a big part of the story of the human race. It predates the human civilization we know today in many ways. There is evidence that we used larger animals for food almost two million years ago.

Hunting Safety

Every year, hundreds of hunting accidents occur across America. Many of these accidents could have been avoided by practicing gun safety techniques. If your weapon came with an ownerís manual, read it from cover to cover.

Bow Hunting

With bow hunting, people are getting in touch with the control of the hunt and are learning all sorts of new things about getting in tune with themselves and using their own bodily power to get in touch with the zen of hunting.

Product Description
Offering performance that doesn't stop short, Barska's Contour series meets the hunter's demands by combining performance and innovation in a compact riflescope without sacrificing ruggedness, dependability, or craftsmanship. This particular scope, for instance, offers a magnification of 3 to 9x and a 40mm objective lens, helping you hit targets from short and medium ranges. Contour scopes offer low magnification ranges combined with long eye relief, making them ideal for close-range action--from crossbow hunting to pistol shooting even down to simple rimfire action. Contours are also engineered with an extra-rigid shockproof construction to handle the demands of pistols, shotguns, and other types of high-recoil firearms. And thanks to the waterproof and fogproof housing, the scope excels in all types of weather conditions. Other features include an ultra-compact housing, tactical rubber armor, a 1-inch tube construction, flip-up scope caps and rings, and an ultra-precise 4A mil-plex IR illuminated reticle.



The 3-9x40 rubber-armored Contour riflescope includes flip-up scope caps and rings.

Perfect Tactical Scope
 
Review Date: April 22, 2010
Reviewer: Matt Service, Michigan
This scope is awesome. It fits great and also looks very professional on my AR-15.

Pros
1. It comes with it's own mounting rings (so don't buy any ahead of time like I did)
2. It has crosshairs that don't need batteries! So many scopes are becoming more and more battery operated.
3. The crosshairs illuminate do different levels of brightness as desired to help you see them in low light scenarios.
4. Easy thumb knobs for windage and elevation with 1/2 click MOA adjustments.
5. Waterproof!

Cons
1. Can't find anything bad yet.
Attached to my CMMG AR-15

Still waiting for a decent day to actually get a chance to site this thing in. So far though I like it, wanted a scope, but wanted to keep the weight down. Found it all with this scope.
Not what I thought it would be

This scope is not what I thought it would be, in that it was not a full field view. I really liked the overall appearence, but there wasn't enough product description to make a better judgement before my purchase. When I placed it at the 9x, it was blurry, and there is no adjustment to correct this. When I referenced the owners manual, it was the wrong one. I returned it for a refund and I am in the process of acquiring another scope......from Amazon, of course. I have no problem with Amazon.
Great looks don't make a good scope
 
Review Date: September 6, 2010
Reviewer: J. Craig Terrell, Denton, TX
I REALLY wanted to like this scope. It looked so good on top of my AR, but it was a really poor optical device and good looks can't make up for that. It was pretty fuzzy at any distance from 25 to 200 yards and since the focus is not adjustable I'm not sure if there was anything I could do about it. The design of the IR switch is also poor in that every time I tried to turn it on the cap for the battery compartment would start to unscrew. The one thing I really did like was the blue IR, it was nice a bright and could be dimmed several levels. I ended up retuning this one, somewhat reluctantly. If there was anything I could have done to make it work better I would have kept it for the looks...
