H&R Rifle / Rossi Rifle Scope

This optic is far from being high priced and works. The glass is good for a budget rifle.

The Mildots are good for hold over or range estimations, but that is it. It is not a precision optic. It is a low powered optic used with good eye relief for a compact rifle / low profile signature and various mounting ability due to a single rail slot it can be locked in half off a weaver bracket for extended eye relief.

Being illuminated, it can shoot in low light conditions.

A 4 power is more than enough to easily make 200 yard shots and do a paper zero at 25 depending on caliber and external ballistics. It has a low profile so if using it in heavy brush, it does not get in the way or hang up on things.

It is about 8 inches in length and has an incorporated base with heavy allen wrench lock down capability to a weaver / rail system. You don't have to buy external rings or go through elaborate boresighting / alignment proceedures. Mount and lock torque lock it down. It has one rail slot to grab the space between the rails and the other surface area is torqued to grab the outside of the rail so you have a lot of leeway to mount it forward, rearward where you want it and plenty of surface area to lock it down solid without stripping threads.

Eye relief is 3-4 inches. You can easily see the bullet holes at 25yds to work your grouping and extended range calculations / external ballistics.

It is not some 80 MOA adjusting optic, it is meant for close to medium range work at a fixed power and range use- perfect for hunting in this capacity for a budget rifle or close to medium range - caliber trajectory dependent.
Awesome Scope For The Price

Reviewer: Charity Riddle-Chapman,
Very cool little scope. Very clear view and the Red and Green illumination is nice. At a little under 5 inches of eye relief, it helps to have a little space on your mounting rail for fore and aft positioning to suit your setup. I mounted on my Ruger Archangel Charger. The rails on the scope are nice and very functional. A Doctor red dot fits perfect on the top rail and the view window sits directly over the scopes illumination adjustment knob. The left side rail is perfect for a low profile laser. The right side rail can be functional, but you will probably block the adjustment knob. This scope (and doctor red dot) would be a great addition to an AR setup (in my opinion).
The BEST scope for a crossbow

I bought this barska scope after my uncle showed me it mounted on his assault rifle but I think it is better as a crossbow scope. I had a red-dot scope on my crossbow but was looking for a scope with a reticle and the ability to be illuminated red or green and I have found the right scope for the right price. So in short, I can't speak for the scope on a rifle but it is the BEST scope for a crossbow by far.
Good Scope!

Reviewer: John R. Blais,
Didn't like the loose packing!! But doesn't seem to be damaged. Cool box!! First impression upon taking the scope out was that it is very sturdy, rugged and well made. It has a nice rich black finish. The cross hairs are nice had to get a new battery for the illuminated rectical which works great the brightness adjustments are stiff at first until you start using it and the brightness setting work better on the red not much of a difference with the green! Also when it says eye relief it means how far you should be from the eye piece so when it says 4 inches that means you can see clearly through the scope at that distance. The optics are very clear and the see through scope caps that come with it are cool. Wish the adjustments were actually nobs not caps on top of adjustments that you adjust with a small flat head screw driver. Can't wait to zero it and shoot with it.

As a note if you have a M-4 flat top like I do you should get a riser because it sits very low.
good scope for the value

This scope is very good very easy to sight in. Build quality is very good a customer said it was built cheap but I find it sturdy and for the value you can't beat it. It is very accurate after sighting in properly. Does not lose setting after many use just make sure mounting bolts are secure but do not over tighten parts that are made of aluminum alloy. One customer complained about stripping a hex bolt but I think he overtightened it it's an aluminum alloy like all other scopes so make sure you use the proper size hex wrench/allen wrench. I recommend it if you don't want to spend lots of $$ and still hit your targets at 100, 200 yards.
