Propknut review - BSA Optics Contender Series Rifle Scopes 4-16 X40 mm

Currenty on a Savage Mark II 22lr. This is the fourth scope on the rifle and is proving to be my favorite. The optical calrity is excellent at 10 to 12x, this is where I do most of my shooting. At 16x the clarity is still great, just not as good at the lower power settings, also the eye relief is very critical at 16x. The resetable lockable turrets are a great idea, but the glow in the dark markings were not thought out very well. Only the markings in the window get charged so that when you rotate the turret all else is black. My scope weighed in at 23oz, not the 17oz that are advertised. The extra weight is not really an issue for me. I prefer FFP scopes but the price is the killer on those so I just deal with the SFP.
Pros: Price, clarity, features, locking turrets, warranty
Cons: advertised weight, glow in the dark turret markings, clicks a little mushy, second focal plane mil dot
