Reviews & Ratings for BSA Optics Edge 2-7x28mm Pistol Scope — 19 reviews — Page 1

While this scope is well made and performs well at the lower magnification levels, it is limited by its lack of adequate field of view, especially at the higher magnifications. It is a good value at its price level,just not optimum if you are looking for performance at the upper magnifications levels. I will be using it at the 2x - 4x selection. Also be aware that it does not have parallax adjustment if you plan it use it closed that 50 yards.

Pretty good scope for the money. Used on a Thompson contender 22 hornets. Shoots nice groups at 100 yds

Bought for a Ruger 44. Concidering picking up another for my SOCOM 16. The large eye relief is great and concedering the price and what it's stood up to so far (multiple 44 Mag rounds while mounted on my revolver) it really can't be beat.

Optics Planet packed well and got the scope to me in less than a week. My complaint is with BSA (Gamo) This scope is not a pistol scope. Eye relief is a measured 10.5 inches on 2 power and of course much less at higher power and the scope weighs 9.21 ounces not 7.5 as advertised. It suits my purposes as it will go on a bench pistol but for you, if you think you’re going to mount this and have your arms fully extended, guess again it won’t work. Looking at old reviews I see where eye relief wasn’t an issue so I think the product changed, but the specs are referring to an older model. Also you’d have to pay to return it to Bsa even though their product misrepresentation IS a crime. If thousands of these were sold buyers could, using a lawyer, initiate a class action lawsuit for misrepresentation and have a case. Buy it if you need a scout scope. It is not a pistol scope.

The scope is crystal clear The parallax on this scope is about 30 to 35 yards any closer and the scope gets fuzzy, here's how you can fix it, at the front of the scope you will see a lens cap turn the cap counterclockwise counter clockwise until it comes off off, then you will see two notches opposite of each other, keep track of which one you're using as a reference point put a little dab of white paint on it if necessary and turn it clockwise it will turn it might be turn a little stiff at first, you can use a hacksaw blade to set between the two notches and turn it clockwise about a third to a quarter of an inch at a time or less look through the scope after each turn until it starts to get crystal clear and it will, set a Target out about 10 15 or 20 yards whatever distance you plan on shooting till it gets crystal clear, please be advised that this could void the warranty on your scope but then again if BSA didn't want you doing that they would have put loctite on the lens cap, mine is crystal clear more clearer than some of my high-dollar Scopes I have, my scope is sitting on top of a Diana airbag air pistol which gets around 550 to 600 ft per second, well done BSA

Ordered this for a Mossberg Turkey Thug with slug barrel. I also use it for duck season. I put it in a set of 1 inch see thru scope rings which allows me to use the fiber optics sights for ducks. Excellent service and fast shipping.

I bought this pistol scope to mount on a single barrel 10gauge shotgun. I needed a long eye relief scope to do so. This BSA 2-7x 28mm pistol scope was exactly what I needed. The eye relief is very generous, and the eye relief remains long enough even on 7x. I prefer a scope over a red dot because a scope has more light transmission. I would recommend this scope to anyone that needs a reasonably priced long eye relief scope.

I am more of a Leupold guy. Comparing BSA to leupolds should be apples and oranges, but if I am honest with myself I find they are at least in the same fruit basket.

Review after several thausend .22 and 30 or so sw 460.

The BSA edge feels as bright and focused as the equivalent high end scope. The focus ring runs nicely and the scope is well built. I can't find anything I would call less than perfect in manufacture. The BSA edge provides the opportunity to experience a fully fledged pistol scope for relatively little money.

Cons:
1. Most of what I hate about the scope relates to the physics of pistol scopes and spending four times as much money won't change that. As expected it has a rediculously small field of view at full power and you have to align your eye just perfectly.
2. The turrets/turret caps seem excecively tall, which simply takes up too much space and looks a little dorky in my opinion.

To be seen:
I wonder if this will hold up heavy recoil. The lack of a Leupold like warranty is likely one of the reasons for the massive price difference. The difference in optics is not real obvious to my uneducated non-expert self.

The scope has sharp, clear optics and a good range of eye relief. I have it mounted on a Beretta Neos and it's almost of identical length as the pistol. The only reason I'm not giving it five stars is because the reticle is very fine, although it stands out clearly on a target. I would have preferred a reticle that is thicker off the actual center. The additional weight it adds to the pistol is comfortable. It appars to be well made, with no discernible defects. The clear lens covers are a nice touch.

I was pleasantly surprised with this scope. It is very clear and the magnification is very good. I mounted the scope on a Thompson Center .44 mag. and had an issue with it slipping a bit after firing. I had the rings torqued to spec for aluminum rings. I did suggest the rings come with shims to eliminate the possibility of this issue. I am pleased with the scope and worth the money.
