Digital camera Review: BARSKA SPOTTING SCOPE
Summary: 4 Stars
I recently purchased the BARSKA GLADIATOR 25-75x100 spotting scope. My only complaint is that it is rather cumbersome because of its large size, but the optics are really good. The focus adjustment is very smooth and fine tuning is done with ease without any problem to focus in on your subject. If I had it to do over again, I would make the same purchase.Digital camera Review: Barska Gladiator 25-75x100

Fantastic buy for the price. The scope is great, extremely clear at lower to mid power, but gets a little fuzzy around 75X. Super light gathering in low light. The included tripod is cheap and not very stable, but for the price, the scope alone would be a deal.Digital camera Review: Barska Gladiator hits mark

I was a little worried when I purchased the Barska Gladiator. I just couldn't imagine a 100mm objective at such a low price with good performance. So upon receipt, I did a quick comparision with my favorite astronomical scope, the Televue Ranger. The Barska compared quite favorably in a 70 yard fine target resolution comparision. In fact, I could not discern too much difference between the 70mm Ranger and 100mm Barska resolution in daylight. One might say this is expected of a 70 vs 100mm comparision. However, the Televue optics quality and performance is quite legendary with ability to achieve 180x and still perform. With both scopes I was able to read 0.2 inch high text and track 0.1 inch reticle artifacts at 70 yards (Barska at 75x). So, I expect this Barska to perform quite adequately at the shooting range for most calibers and ranges. I was not disappointed in performance of Barska and scope quality looks and feels superior. Oh, of course I used a stable scope mount in both cases. One really needs a stable, fine az and el adjustment tripod to be able to use this scope at 75x. I recommend this scope.Digital camera Review: Barska Gladiattor 25-75X100

We have a lot of Deer around my town and Eagles.While I have a pair of Glasses 10X50 they still are a bit away from us.So I purchased these hoping to bring them in closer,it sure does,I can not say enough about the extra light at dusk they bring in, the Deer look very nice at this range....This Scope is very heavy,you will need a good tripod to rest it on.The dinky one it comes with just will not handle it.Digital camera Review: Big Scope

I bought this scope for wildlife viewing. I didn't realize how large this thing is. Trying to mount this scope on a tripod is like mounting a canon on a step ladder. It is best used on a car window mount. I suggest only using it on a hand cranked window. I made an adapter For my tripod that works like a window. Using a piece of aluminum angle 2 1/2" x 2 1/2" x 3/8" x 3 1/2". I drilled and taped It to match the treads on my tripod after the ball mount was removed. It works good though not as steady as a car window. The tripod that came with it is in no way suited for this scope. It would instead be a nice miniature tripod for a camera. The carrying case is nice,but the eye piece dust cover is junk. Lastly the optics are at best only fare. As you approach 75 power the image gets a little blurry. But the money is not bad. all and all, I am satisfied. Too want better is to pay more.
