Q:
Can these red dot sights be used on a spring piston air rifle as the double recoil usually breaks most normal scopes ?
A:
Unfortunately, this cannot be used on your air rifle as it will break it. You will need to use air rifle scopes for your air rifle. We have one here: http://www.ozscopes.com.au/barska-air-gun-series-riflescope.html that you can look at if you're interested
Q:
Do you have any thing in a red dot scope that will be accurate at more than 100m and the red dot stays small and doesn't cover the whole target?
A:
There are two scopes that might be suitable...:
Barska Electro Series Multi-Reticle Sight (http://www.ozscopes.com.au/barska-electro-series-multi-reticle-sight.html)
I'm not sure if this one will be accurate at more than 100m but it has adjustable reticles, so you can get the smaller red dot that won't cover the whole target.
Barska Red Dot Series Riflescope (http://www.ozscopes.com.au/barska-red-dot-series-riflescope.html)
For this one, it will be accurate at more than 100m but they don't have adjustable reticles (we only have it in the 30mm) and you can only adjust the brightness.

Q:
Can you please advise if the Barska Red Dot Series Riflescope, will fit a 3/8" (10mm) weaver mount?
A:
Only the 40mm DC will fit the 3/8" weaver mount. The 30mm and 42mm models will fit only 5/8"
Q:
If the Barska Red Dot Series Riflescope 42mm model was fitted to a .223 calliber rifle, would it be accurate at 200-300 metres?
A:
Our supplier has told me that the Barska Red Dot Series Riflescope would only be accurate to a range of 100m. It is actually more suitable for hunting bigger targets such as deer or buffalo within a shorter range.
Q:
Will this fit a standard weaver rail? This is to go on a Bereeta 87 target handgun?
A:
I have to admit, we are not overly familiar with which mounts will suit particular rifle scopes as the mounts are actually gun specific, not scope specific. I believe that the Barska Red Dot Series Riflescope can be used with a weaver rail, but as to whether it will fit yours specifically, I'm not sure.
Generally for any mounting queries, we recommend contacting your local gun shop as they can tell you which mount is suitable for the gun and scope combo.

Q:
Looking to buy a Barska Red Dot for my Marlin 1894 -
I have the Marlin scope mount will the 40mmDC fit that - or do I need another mount?
I have the Marlin scope mount will the 40mmDC fit that - or do I need another mount?
A:
I have to admit, we are not really familiar with riflescope mounts here. Mounts are actually specific to the gun, not the spotting scope so we don't actually sell them. Generally, the best person to help with mount queries is your local gun supplier.
Q:
Can you use Barska Red Dot Scopes for night shooting?
A:
Yes you can. For night shooting, you should get a scope with as much aperture (Diameter of the lens) as possible to maximize its light gathering ability. Ideally it should be at 50mm in aperture but seeing that the Barska Red Dot only goes up to 42mm then I would recommend you to go up to the 42mm one at the very least.
