Needed a scope to get started..
« on: December 29, 2008, 03:59:43 AM »
Just ordered a BSA Sweet 22 for the Dicovery I have on the way.

I am going to mostly use the rifle for Field Target shooting, nothing serious just good fun relaxation and some casual plinking.

I went with the sweet 22 since they were on sale at natchez for $49.95 in 6-18X40 and will focus down to 10 yards.  I am going to have to make my own marks for distances on the turrets anyway so figured what they had for a drop compensator didn't matter anyway.  I figured for the price it would at least allow me to shoot a few matches inexpensively to see how I liked it.. I know folks either love or hate the BSA scopes.  I have had a few over the years and been happy with them, but nothing recently and never any in the Sweet Lineup...

I have a nice old Japanese Tasco in 36X and 24X with target dots but those won't focus under 15-18 yards with isn't close enough unfortunately.

Anyone else using one of these scopes?  How is the repeatability?

Thanks,
DonTMN

I don't have that particular scope but I have plenty of BSA scopes and they've all performed very well for me......   I don't think you'll have any problems....  

Let us know how you make out....

on the groops in the post above, i am using an aimpoint 4x16 ao scope. i bought it at walmart, and i think it was only $60. i have it set on 6x as i find to much power allows the cross hairs to swim around in the dot to much. 6x allows me to center up on the dot easier.  john
