needed to clean my guns, so i needed some hoppes #9 so i went right past wally world to dicks, got a bottle of hoppes. and

barska "colorado" 60mm, 20-60x zoom. looks like a good one, and cheap, too. eta: "oppes", not "oopes". oops.

Barska stuff is generally decent for the price in my experience.

"decent for the price". there's a ringing endorsement.
it's got a bigger objective lens than the old celestron, therefore should be brighter.
it's shorter than the old scope, fits in the range bag better.
sixty-some dollars otd including the hoppes.
i'm good.

from a quick browse of barska's and vendors' site, it appears they're phasing out this model(to be replaced by the "blackhawk" line), which explains the repeated markdowns, from 189 to to 149 to 88 to 69 and now the 15% ($12) discount.

Sounds like a good deal.

Have you looked through it yet at like 100 yds?

It’s amazing once you get a good scope you wonder how you did without. LoL.

Yeah--I'm interested. I have one I have to squint to use. I use a telescope with a 90 degree eye piece so it's right side up. Bulky.

yes, clear sharp bright image at 100 yds. this will work, no doubt in my mind.

Sweet.
