Overview
BSA designed this compact aluminum scope for a specific rimfire cartridge, with a multi-grain turret and side parallax adjustment. Fully multicoated lenses and a sunshade are part of the build.
The reason to buy is the match to that cartridge, with the dial matched to two common bullet weights. The limitation is its narrow purpose, since the calibration helps only with the named ammunition.
Who it's for
Owners of rifles in the named rimfire caliber who shoot at modest ranges will use the calibrated turret. Centerfire shooters and long-range hunters should choose a scope made for their rifle.
Pros and cons
- Side parallax adjustment
- Waterproof and fogproof
- Narrow cartridge focus
- Field of view units not listed
- Sunshade detail unclear
Performance notes
Side parallax adjustment removes the aiming error caused by eye position at short and medium ranges. A calibrated turret lets the shooter dial for the stated bullet weights. Multicoated lenses improve light transmission.
