Variable-magnification rifle scope
The BARSKA AC11388 is a 3-12x40 IR rifle scope built on a 1-inch monotube. It offers a magnification range of 3-12x with a 40mm objective lens and fully multi-coated optics. The illuminated 3G glass-etched reticle provides green, red and blue options. It includes flip-up scope caps, a battery and a lens cloth.
Shooters needing .223 BDC holds
The elevation turret is calibrated for three .223 bullet weights: 50 grain, 55 grain and 62 grain. Side parallax adjustment and 1/4-inch click value suit target-style dialling. Eye relief is 3.93 inches and the scope weighs 21.16oz. Buyers who want calibrated holds for other calibres or bullet weights should look at something else.
1-inch tube with side parallax
The scope uses a 1-inch tube diameter and features side-mounted parallax adjustment. This combination determines ring height and whether the parallax control is reachable from your shooting position. Verify that your rings and stock geometry match these dimensions before purchasing.

Questions about this item
How does the 3-12x magnification range affect eye relief during extended use?
The scope maintains a consistent 3.93 inch eye relief across the full 3-12x magnification range, reducing eye strain during long sessions.
Which rifle tube diameter is required to mount this scope without extra rings?
The 1 inch monotube construction fits standard 1 inch rings directly, so no adapter rings are needed for a typical 1 inch rail.
Will the .223 BDC reticle still reference hold-overs if I keep my older 50 grain ammunition?
Yes, the elevation turret is calibrated for 50 grain, 55 grain and 62 grain .223 loads, so your existing 50 grain ammo matches a marked setting.
