I'd rather be tried by 12 than carried by 6.

Welcome to Optics Talk.
As stated, BSA is not a very good choice for the long haul. You may get a better scope for around the same $$$ though.
Whats the scope going on?

Well the Swift has a very coarse duplex. To thick for the 17 at 100 yards. I was hoping to stay around $150. Any suggestions?

Not for a buck fity.
If you feel you need magnification and a thinner reticle, your probably looking at spending around $300.
High(er) magnification scopes of low quality are not worth buying, IMO.
These two candidates will serve you well.
If you can work a 3-9x with an AO, this one would be a good pick.
Then again, you may be happy with a BSA. You wouldn't be the first, nor the last.
But before you run out and buy a BSA, I would recommend you read the archives on this forum and see what others are saying.

What about this one from Vortex?
http://swfa.com/Vortex-6-24x50-Crossfire-Rifle-Scope-P43585.aspx for $99.95. I have read a number of good things about this one. |

Have any thoughts on Simmons Whitetail Classic 6.5-20x50 AO Truplex Reticle? I have looked at the new bsa I like the side focus and good power but I would hate to sink $150 into a peice of junk.
