BSA Sweet 22 Air Rifle Scope, 3-9x40mm Adjustable Objective, Black

Simply put… very very good! For the options and quality considers. Followed dollar for dollar.: would buy again and recommend without hesitation.

Cheap price fire great quality. Sighted in at 25 yrds hit a playing card every time at 100 yards. Very clear looks great.easy to adjust. Sunshade helps a lot with lighting. I own two now!

Scope appears well made and I wanted to love it but ended up returning. It doesn't have a fast reticle focus but the old standard rotating eye piece with lockring is adequate. I have two .22 rifles and one is an old bolt action with a 3x9x40mm Simmons on it but without an Adjustable Objective (AO). I also bought a Cvlife 4x16x44mm with AO as I was going to give one of these scopes away as a gift. The Cvlife is on the left in the pic and the BSA on the right. BOth weigh about the same but the Cvlife is definitely longer but also has much more forward and back mount adjustment. The BSA glass is decent and clear in all light levels for this price especially since I got a cheaper Warehouse deal. I think the Cvlife at same distance with same settings was slightly clearer but it has a 44mm Objective vs this 40mm. The Cvlife all has an illuminated reticle which I will likely never use. All knobs and adjustments on the BSA (and Cvlife) work as required and just stiff enough to keep from accidental movements. I like the concept of the 3 supplied 36, 38 and 40 grain bullet compensating turrets but they are attached with 3 of the smallest hex screws I have ever seen. Make sure to change out over an empty box or good luck finding if you drop one! My kit did came with 3 spare screws. I wish it had a simpilier bullet turret change out especially since I shoot both 36 and 40 grain bullets and I might have kept it for my bolt action and got a better set of rings. And as another review stated the yardage markings on the bullet turrets are VERY small and hard to read. The supplied scope rings are stout but the ends will barely grab 3/8" dovetails as they are too bulky and rounded and the rings are off center when tightened on a 38" dovetail. My guess is they are for 11mm dovetails and not older 3/8" dovetails. Since both pieces are aluminum I guess you could carefully file to make work but I would go with skinnier single screw per side for more adjustment if putting on an older .22 bolt action. The scope fit fine on my Winchester WIldcat .22 with a set of medium height 20mm Picatiny rings. Also the adjustable mounting distance on this scope is minimal (see pic) as their is only 1.25" for each ring on each side of the turrets but each supplied ring is about 7/8" wide. Again if mounting on a Picatiny rail there should be no issue as eye relief is decent and slightly longer than the Cvlife I am keeping. I tested both scopes on 2 different guns in all light conditions and distances, for eye relief, quality of the glass, sharpness, reticle adjustments, AO adjustments, etc. Both perform well but I liked the larger magnification on the Cvlife especially tracking squirrels in my field. Only time and shooting will tell if I made the correct choice.

I usually do not write reviews but this scope is so good that I feel I must. This scope is extremely accurate on my 17 caliber Savage Rifle. I am 65 years old and my sight is not as good as it once was. Some times it is hard to see varmints 100 yards away in shadowy places, however the scope brings them in clear and bright. I use a a bipod to help steady the rifle. Once the cross hairs are on the target it is a sure shot. The only negative I noticed is that you can not turn the power all the way to the stops at 6X or 18X. Once you hit the stops at you have to turn the nob back ever so slightly or the image will be blurred a little. Not enough of a problem to worry about. Bill

Nice clear scope, holds zero like it should. Calibrated for 17 and 20 grain .17 hmr bullets with a window under the elevation turret that is easy to read and use. Windage and elevation turrets reset to zero and have firm sounding and feeling clicks. I typically only shoot this small of a caliper around 100 yards max but I can hit a nickel every time I pull the trigger with this scope mounted on a ruger precision. Great buy for the money.....this is my 2nd sweet 17 and I'd buy another one today if I bought another 17 hmr.

The scope arrived in excellent condition today. I have not installed it on the gun. This is my first impression, and I'm pretty good about follow-up review edits, so stay tuned.. Right off the bat, I wanted a scope with a sunshade option, because my best shooting lane faces directly West and late afternoon is my most likely time to shoot. Just a little bit of searching and I found the Barska 3" 40mm sunshade, and the 5" sunshade. They both fit the same Barska scope, but the reviews say that they also fit this BSA Sweet 22, so I ordered the 3" shade with this scope. It threaded on perfectly. Even the thread-in cap fits on the sunshade. As of day one, I am extremely satisfied with this scope, but as soon as I get it mounted, I'll be back with a full first shooting impression. The scope rings included are a little tall, so they should work with most .22's with iron sights, but this scope is BIG. It's very close to the same size as a CenterPoint 3-9x50, but the tube length is very short, so the rings are very close together. The instructions are very clear about using the different turrets for different ammo, and the proper use of the adjustments. The adjustable Objective brings my targets into crystal clear focus. I' can't wait to shoot with this scope.

I sent the first one back as it was not as advertised (no side parallax adjustment). The second one was the same as the first. Ended up ordering it from another company. Not only was it cheaper than amazon, it had free shipping. The scope itself is great! Amazon just could not deliver it.

For the money it's a solid 22 scope, groomed rings included. Serves the purpose well .
