Firefield Barrage Riflescope

Great little scope. Super easy to mount and adjust. Probably one of the easiest scopes I've ever sighted in, and it has a nice reticle. The brightness on the laser and the illuminated reticle are perfect. The adjustment knob for the brightness makes it easy to choose the right setting depending on your environment. I have one on my AR and one on my .22 and they have yet to fail. Well worth the money.

Works great! Was hesitant to purchase because of the price. It surprised me. This is a very nice compact scope! Clear! Easy to use. Good sight picture! Stays on target!

for the price its awesome , seems well made

Returned the scope immediately after trying to install the battery for the laser (couldn’t get the cover on) and the lenses seemed hazy to me. Waiting for my refund as it says that it is delayed? Don’t know why I sent it back exactly as I received it. I will keep you updated on how this goes.

Better glass clarity than I was expecting I went for the higher magnification Good eye relief Sturdy

This review is of the Firefield Barrage 1.5-5x32 Riflescope with Red Laser. The first scope I ordered was all good except the Red Laser worked intermittently. The scope itself was fine. I wanted the red laser dialed into the Mil-Spec crosshairs of the scope after dialing in with a bore-sighter. After replacing the first scope, here’s a review of the second. The Red Laser works great; the only problem is that where the laser housing attaches to the scope, under the Magnification Ring, is loose & as far as I can tell, cannot be tightened. This was not the case with the first scope. The red laser on the second scope does stay “on”, however turning the Red/Green Illumination Ring also moves the laser mount & therefore the aiming point of the red dot. The second scope I received did not come with a cleaning cloth & also the washer & lock washer was missing on the picatinny mount tightening knob. The windage & elevation caps on the second scope were so tight I had to use pliers to loosen them. The red & green 5 illumination settings, scope magnification and focus was good on both scopes. I wish I could combine the positives of both scopes red lasers into one. I’m undecided if I’ll keep the second Barrage scope. No more than I plan on using the rifle it’s probably fine. I’m sorry I can’t recommend this scope. I’d suggest spending a little more for something better.

I’m on the fence on these. The first one came apart. They warrantied it for me. And the second one worked great. Good warranty. Good service. 50/50 on quality. It reacts well to adjustments. It’s not a 500 dollar optic. It is what it is and it works good for a range toy. It’s also mounted on a 50 Beowulf and holds zero.

MIL reticle is repeatable at any specific indicated magnification. However, even though the zoom range appears consistent at 4:1 the actual magnification of one sample I own is about 30% lower than the other. I would estimate the one sample to be 2-8 magnification while the other might be closer to 2.75-11 magnification. The two samples bought the same day have different ocular objective assemblies but both are reasonable for my purposes. Elevation and Windage are 1/2" per click at 100 yards so that works out to about 7 clicks per MIL. Red Green illuminated reticle reflects off of inside of tube so you probably will use reticle illumination sparingly. Reticle is crisp and clean after adjusting the ocular diopter adjustment. There is no parallax adjustment so expect difficulty if you combine high magnification and close range. Parallax appears to be set around 100 yards or meters. The Objective lens has a sloped shade and no Lens covers were provided. That could be an issue for some. Mounts to a standard Weaver or Picatinny Rail. Red Laser model uses two AG13 batteries or a single 1/3N, Green Laser use CR2, both models claim 16-hour laser battery life. Reticle illumination is CR2032 claiming 100 hours. The bullet drop compensator has settings for a .223 so on a .22LR or a 9mm carbine expect the 2, 3, 4, and 5 to each add closer to 30 or so yards to your 100 yard zero from position 1. Best to set it on low magnification and the compensator on position 1 for reflexive situations and zoom to higher magnification or adjust elevation only when expecting or experiencing distant or less time critical targets. Would buy again if in the market and at the $70-80 price point. Actually, I own two at 2.5-10x40 and one at 1.5-5x32. Would I take it into battle? Only if better options were not available. It is a great low-priced option for a farm gun, but I can afford better when my life depends on it.
