Darrell's Review of BSA Optics Sweet .22 4-12x40mm Rifle Scope
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.
