i noticed that the adjustment knobs arern't under a cap like my other scopes to keep the knob from getting unadjusted...do you have any problems?

The adjustment knobs have lock rings you can turn by hand so it will stay where you set it. If you want to change settings loosen them then lock back. I have four of them on 22-250,25wssm,300wsm,and30-378 mag great scope works great.

No problems for us (my son and me). Very rarely we might accidentally rub a wheel and move it a couple of clicks. But those are audible, and easily reversed manually, even under low light conditions. The detents are firm, and accidental adjustment is unlikely. We are quite pleased with the accuracy of the scope, and its low light performance.

I haven't had any problems. They take some effort to twist and have good positive clicks

No problems . There are lock rings if utilized, that prevent moving of the adj. knobs. I'm a long range shooter and have no idea as to quick target acquisition .

No problem, the only detriment I find with the Barska is the tight eye relief. Fine for stable bench / bipod shooting but I use mine for hunting and it takes a second longer to get on the scope and acquire the target / critter. Otherwise mine has worked well.

I've only had that problem once, when I removed it at the weaver base from the rifle. I was doing a full clean, and I wanted to make sure I didn't get any oil on the scope. I thought if I made sure to use the same slot, and tightened it good, I'd be OK. I was wrong. The scope was way off after removing it. There was only one other guy at the range that day, who was bored, and knows a lot more than me. When he saw how far off I was, he asked to check the scope. Of the 12 screws that hold the scope in the rings, a few had came loose. I told him I had removed it for cleaning, and he told me that if I ever do that, I'll never get it back exactly the same, and will have to re-sight every time. Since then, I've removed the ring screws, one at a time, and put on a drop of removable (blue) Loctite. I also tightened the base bolts slightly with a wrench. When I clean the rifle, I'll cover it with a plastic bag to make sure I don't get it dirty. It's done fine since, stays zeroed well.

I have 4 of these scopes,,,, 2 are the older models and they have set screws. The 2 I got from Amazon are spring loaded and can be stiff ,so be carefully when you reset. Redfield are very good scopes I have one on a .338 win mag and have never lost my zero.

Yes I have that setup and like it. However you cannot access the sight adjustment lock screws on the sight when it is mounted with the supplied hex wrench. I had to leave the lock scews loose, mount the sight and sight it in, then take the sight off lock the screws and the remount the sight. If I had a wrech with a shorter arm I could lossen and tightent the lock screws while the scope is mounted.

Follow-up answer. My previous answer was not that I am aware of, but now after double checking my rifle and scope, it appears there is a small hex haed set screw on the side of the turret caps I had not noticed before. I am pretty sure by loosening that hexhead, the adjustment dials can be reset to where ever you want and re-titghtened. Theree may even have been a hex tool included with the scope, but that I honestly do not rewcall. I studied long and hard to find a scope I would be happy with for precision 22 bench shooting with my CZ452. Using a picattny, and quick detachable rings I found on Amazon, I am testing a variety of ammo brands and documenting which shoot the best out of the CZ. This scope is used prmairly indoors at 25 yrds due to the precison I am looking for and has me shooting 1 one 5 shot groups that only very because of my heartbeat which I can see in the scope movement and have to adjust for. I love this scope. Be forwarned. Never use the see thru covers to shopt through unless you saight in that way. I tested that and the zero changes drastrically with the covers even thiugh it still shoots tight groups. I plan on shooting steel at longer ranges 100-150 yrds this summer at a range we have that extensds out to 550 yrds. I would buy another one of these scopes in a heartbeat.

I read about this complaint in posts prior to me buying this scope. I did not experience this problem. Mine is mounted on a 1" riser to get above the battle sights. I had it bore sighted at my local gun shop and he thought the scope was fine. I zeroed it at 100yds on my AR15. It was shooting 1.5" groups. As Paul replied it will not compare with the more expensive models but it does a decent job for the price. I do have to get out and shoot again as the last time I went it was shooting almost 3 MOA high. There was a 30mph wind blowing so the next time out I will see if it was the wind or the scope not holding zero. I read about this complaint in posts prior to me buying this scope.

Mine sighted right in no problem. Try remounting it and use a bore sighter, if you can't line it up without using too much adjustment it could be a problem with the sight itself.

Hey Mathew T. The same thing happened to my scope. You get what you pay for I guess... and no u couldn't make a replacement because you wouldn't be able to move the crosshair with the turrets and you would have no way of zeroing the scope

They appear to be tight enough. I ruined my objective cap by getting some cleaning solvent on it. It is now glued shut.Only a drop or two got on it and ran in the plastic part of the cap and glued it shut. I didn't see it happen. Now I have to order a new cap. Where I don't know ?Other than that it works OK. My scope came with the wrong indicator on the windage knob. It says "Up" on it, same as the elevation indicator.Factory made a bad mistake.

I have noticed that the adjustment knob does wobble abit, but it doesn't seem to be hurting anything. In the manual it does say that the grinders will loosen over time, but that there are adjustment screws that ban be tightened. So far so good, no problems.

I would bring the scope to Gander Mountain and match up the covers at the store....They have a chart to match the scope to the covers but there is a little variation between caps.... try it on your scope to make sure it fits snug.

I have the same problem. I tried hard to find out the solution for this problem and regretfully gave up. We should write a letter to the manufacturer about it. What I have done is to by myself a scope so the front sight misalignment does not interfere with my shooting.

There are two Caps at the top and side of the Scope .You Have To Unscrew them and Do Your Elevation and Your Wyndage by firing off a couple shots or maybe using a bore laser .

check the mounting to the gun may need to adjust the original mounting prior to scope. Good Luck, I brought two and they work great once you have them set.

I can not really answer this. I am not big on these types of scopes. This is the only one I ever bought because I am more into closer ranges. I bought an EOTech and that's all I have bought since. I can tell you it seemed like a perfectly fine scope. Only problem I had was the elevation knob is attached with a setscrew and it came loose while out shooting without a wrench to fix it. More than one lesson learned there. Sorry I could not have been more help.

It might show in the scope. The rings are pretty low. I'm running 45 degree offset irons to avoid the chance. You could run the scope with a taller ring though if it became a problem.

No, the turrets do not lock and there are no caps to cover them. However there are definite stops between the clicks and I have never had a problem with the knobs accidentally turning, even when transporting my rifle in its case.
