First purchase failed before it was even sited in, the internal lens for the cross hairs was mounted approx 30 degrees off of true. The 2nd unit would not adjust for windage but was fine in fact it was perfect for elevation. The third unit was okay for its first season, but after setting for six months inside my gun safe and being trsansported bzck to the range for some target practiced the range adjustment bezzeles on the front half of the scope came unseated and just flopped around. Still looking for a replacement scope and it will not be another so called sweet .17, I normally put 200 to 500 rounds down range every time I go to the range and must say I am NOT impressed with BSA on the sweet .17 scopes.

The BSA Sweet 17 scope is an exceptionally good scope at a great price. Clear optics, easy to install and use. The 17 gr turrets work as it should. This scope will do its part...now you will have to do yours. 17 HMR fans will love this scope
