Re: Counter Sniper scopes Review/Test
So I was at SHOT and had already gone to all the booths I need to go to. While I was meandering around, I saw the Countersniper booth and decided I need a good chuckle. I went over there and start talking to this guy who started going on and on about how fantastic these scopes are and how they're limited government contract overruns, blah, blah, blah.
I first asked him how these compared to to S&B, Premier and Hensoldt's tactical scopes. He said they were BETTER in every way. I should have won an Oscar because instead of ROTFLMAO, I just looked at him and said "Wow, that's impressive."
So I look through one and commented that the eyebox was very limited at full magnification. He looked at me like I was a three-headed alien.
I then asked him about the double reticle and he said it was for having two aim points....one for zero and one for say 300 yards or whatever you wanted. I then asked him if that was case, how do you adjust the secondary reticle?? He looked at me, this time, like I was a four-headed alien.
I started rotating the knobs, all the way up and all the way down (like six or so full turns). I asked him if these scopes had zero stop (knowing full well that they didn't)...he hesitated about five seconds and then blurted out "Yes". I was going to ask him to set the zero stop for me but I had go and take a shower because the countersniper booth was just filled to the brim with BULLSHIT.
I have WAY more respect for Barska ("Barfska") and NCStar....and that's sayin' something!
