Overview
The Barska Colorado CO11538 is a 3-9x40 rifle scope with a 30/30 reticle, 1 inch tube and 1/4 MOA click adjustments, built with fully coated optics on a waterproof, fogproof and shockproof housing. It sits parallax free at 100 yards, which suits standard hunting distances rather than long range precision work.
At this price point the glass is described as decent rather than exceptional, and at least one reviewer flagged reduced clarity specifically in low light.
