Thanks,Caballes1
That looks like a nice scope & the specs seem to support it.
My one concern is the weight,
Does it really weigh a pound and a half?

I’m on the fence about the 25oz weight too. I have other models and the glass is indeed superb. How thick is the reticle? Can you take a picture of the reticle somehow?
thanks!!!

Found some newer looking ones with different magnifications on Optics Planet. They may be worth checking out. I read a few good reviews. https://www.opticsplanet.com/s/barra?_iv_categories=riflescopes

Naw! Those are the chinese version , never have dealings with those , im sure others will chime in.

the Chinese versions also surprisingly good but not even close to how good the Japanese versions are. Sadly the features on the Japanese versions are very specialized on PB hunting use cases. If you can get over the reticle, weight and mushy turrets then they are phenomenal. At that price NOTHING can can even be near the next zip code when it comes to glass quality.

Got it. And thank you both. I tried zooming in on the pics to see if I could find the place of origin engraved in or printed on the tube. So to be clear, the older, made-in-Japan scopes are the prized ones to procure?

I been hearing so about the chinese version , some even say its equivalent to the vortex crossfires which are chinese made also .Im wondering if barra made the chinese variation in the same place vortex makes the crossfires???

the h20 is certain crossfire equivalent but the H30 is 1 step up I think. Get them while you can I don’t think Barra scopes are going to around much longer.

Sorry to bug but whenever you get a chance can you take a picture if the reticle through the scope? Very curious on how thick it is.
