Don't hang a BSA on a semi-auto or a .308 and expect it to last thirty days.
It want hold up to vibration of the semi or the recoil of the .308. |

I HAVE TWO BSA CONTENDERS AND MAYBE I'M TOO EASY TO PLEASE BUT I LIKE THEM A LOT. ONE IS MOUNTED ON A SAVAGE 17HMR 6X24 AND THE OTHER ON A 10/22 4X16. ONE THING TO BEWARE OF WITH EITHER OF THESE IS THAT THE EYE PLACEMENT IS VERY CRITICAL AND THE ZERO SEEMS TO SHIFT SLIGHTLY. YOU DO GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR AND FOR THE PRICE I'M NOT SURE WHAT COMPETITION THEY HAVE. IF YOU WANT A GREAT SCOPE BUY SOMETHING DIFFERENT. IF YOU WANT SOMETHING THATS INEXPENSIVE AND DECENT GIVE BSA A TRY. |

I have a 4200 4-16 on one of my 17s and a Simmons 44mag 6.5-20 on another 17. I recently purchased a Burris FFII on another. I love the Ballistic plex. Just make sure you get something with generous eye relief.

Why not just purchase a decent Leupold or Swarovski? I know that they're a little more expensive but what the heck... is only money

Hi All, I just found and joined this forum. Lots of good information here. I bought a CZ 452 in .17HRM yesterday and I'm shopping for a scope to put on it. I like the Burris 4-12X42. I just wish the price was lower and the spotting scope wasn't included. Still shopping... WC |

Burris Ballistic Plex is probably the best scope for a 17 HMR. I have one on my Ruger and it is a perfect match.

Bushnell is making a new 17 Super scope in the 3.5-10x35 Banner line that has a bullet drop compensator for .22 and or .17 HMR.

larryh38,
BSA took an average ring height into consideration as their base line for reticle height above the bore and claim that ring height will not affect the scopes performance. |

Somebody,
Burris 4.5-14 goes down to 50 yds. (or at least that is the last marking on the a/o) BSA 2-7 and 3-12 goe down to 7.5 yds. BSA 6-18 goes down to 15 yds. |
