I bought a Barska 3X12X42 rifle scope from Cabelas in Dec. 2007 for $129.00. It looked like a pretty good scope and I thought it work great on my Kodiak mzzleloader. It did for about 150 shots or so. When I checked the warranty, I have to send $25.00 to them for the warranty. Well I did but I called and talked them into trading the scope for a set of binos that are comparable in price. I check the warranties of my Bushnell, Leupold and Nikon scopes or binos and none require any money for repairing or exchanging. Wish I had bought some other brand to start with!
