Barska, not even once, bro. Yes that's some sort of adhesive soaked tape under the rings. No I do not know why they did it. Pencil was me marking the location of my rings just in case. I switched these rings out to Leupold and my groups went from like ~4.5-5" at 50 (yes you heard that right, though it's been a while and I'm going off memory) down to half that on a milspec M4-ish AR. Then I swapped the scope out with Leupold and pretty much halved it again. Best group I have on hand appears to be a 5rd 50yd group at around 0.75" with hunting ammo. Maybe 1-1.5" with bulk. So like 1.5-3MOA (not really enough data to say anything for sure) vs like 8-10 MOA LOL. The rings would randomly loosen themselves too. Sometimes base screws, sometimes clamp screws. Sometimes the zero would wander. Sometimes the scope would cant in the rings. What a fucking nightmare; I will never recommend Barska to anyone. Also depending on when that Burris is made it might not actually be too bad. I hear the cheap nu-Bushnells aren't that bad but I just hate to gamble with a hunting rifle scope. I've beat on my Leupolds so much (not intentionally!) I have a deep trust in them after not once getting a zero shift; the $300 is just worth the trust and quality IMO. Though the shade does look ridiculous on my 10/22 lol.

>Why install a light mount over it?
NTA/not OP but that's a ShotKam (or similar) barrel mounted action camera. I don't like them because they have little to no zoom making video of shooting birds or game further than like 20yds often kinda crap and pointless but that's just me and while I know scope mounted cams are bulky and awkward (and most shotguns don't have scopes) I think scope mounted is just infinitely better. Used for vloggers/youtubers, reviewers, and either to record hunts or learn if you're over/under on leading your shot or you're pulling shots.
