I like my little Barska too, but it has two imperfections:
1. the clicks only give nominal 1/2" adjustments, which are actually more like 5/8".
2. The reticle is too fine at minimum magnification.

As regards use with a NVD, I'd say the Barska was as good as the Simmons but IMO neither has a sufficiently large objective lens to give good results.
