Reviews & Ratings for BSA Optics Sweet .22 4-12x40mm Rifle Scope — 9 reviews — Page 1

Very fast shipping as always.

Worked perfect.

Thank you.

Bought this for a Henry .22 based on a friend's recommendation.Am impressed. Has cool features like 3 changeable turrets for differing grain ammo + parallax setting. Sighted in at 50 yds, responded accurately to elev. & windage adj. Heck of a great deal for the price.

Great optic for my set up. I love the zeroed adjustments and best price anywhere out there.

Slapped this Sweet 22 onto my Dovetail mounted Marlin Model 60 .22LR and zeroed it in at 50 yards in no time.

Windage and elevation knobs are 1/4 MOA with positive audible/tactile clicks. Knobs move in the same direction the arrows point: up/down left/right, not opposite like some knobs.

Holds zero just fine, have not tried using in austere weather and probably won’t but it’s a heavy and solidly constructed scope considering the price.

Also includes several knob caps depending on the .22LR ammo grain you are using for easier reference, but not sure if it’s all necessary to switch out.

If you actually know how to install and zero a scope, you'll have no issues. Bdc turrets are accurate from 50 to 100+ on elevation. This is my 2nd sweet 22. The first one is still on top of another 22lr. Not vortex or nikon quality, but its a great scope for the money.

Scope is a good 'bang for your buck', but was disappointed as soon as I opened the box. Due to improper storage conditions, all carbon steel cap screw heads in scope mount had 100% rust. Had to clean/cold blue.

I bought this scope for my Ruger Precision Rimfire in 22 LR. I don't have the budget to put big-buck scopes on every rifle I own, and I figured that this scope would certainly stand up to the low recoil of a little .22.
The scope comes with .22 rings, which is a bonus if your rifle has the standard .22 mount. The RPR uses a picatinny rail, though, so those rings weren't useful for me, though I might put them on an older .22 semi-auto.
The scope comes with three turrets marked for drop-compensation for different bullet weights. So far I have only used one, and it was really very close. I zeroed the scope at 50 yards, reset the turret, and the scope was within a click or two at 100 yards. The scope is clear, and the eye relief is reasonable.
My only negative comments are that it's a little tricky to get the turret back onto the scope and aligned with the mark, it just takes a little fiddling and isn't a big issue. A little bigger issue is that the scope is focused at the objective lens, and it's a bit stiff. I'm not confident that the focus adjustment is going to continue to work in the long term. But for now it works just fine.
I think this scope is a pretty good value. It certainly isn't on a par with the high-priced optics, but for those of us on a budget it's a pretty good option.
