The 3-9x42 IR 2nd Generation Scope by Barska is a versatile scope which will perform excellent in a variety of targeting situations. A built-in edged sun-shade is set back in the housing, which allows the sun shade to reduce glare for use in bright sun. Multi-coated optics give the 3-9x42 Scope a sharp, bright image with excellent contrast. An illuminated red and green mil-dot reticle greatly enhances targeting in low-light situations with 5 levels of brightness, allowing the 3-9x42 Barska Scope to excell in any condition.
