BSA Mil Dot Target Scope 6-24X40mm Rifle Scopes


Rifle Scopes Manufacturer: BSA
BSA Model: Mil Dot Target Scope 6-24X40mm
Review Category: Rifle Scopes

Purchase: I purchased a silver BSA 6-24 X 40 mm Mil Dot scope through The Sportsman's Guide. For $115 I thought it was a good bargain.

Things I like about the BSA Mil Dot Target Scope 6-24X40mm : I liked the price. Once I got it out of the box, I liked the accessories with it as well. It came with a screw on shade and yellow lens caps.

What I don't like about the BSA Mil Dot Target Scope 6-24X40mm : When I put the scope on my 30-06, and bore-sighted it in, the scope seemed OK, but I was not to thrilled with the plastic caps covering the widnage and elevation adjustments knobs. Once I took the rifle to the range I was truly disappointed. Even though it was advertised as shock proof, it did not hold up to my 30-06. Each time I would get it adjusted, it seemed to walk. Once I finally got it zeroed in, it only took three shots and I would be off. The scope was by no means shock proof, it would walk down and to the right about a 1/4" with every shot at 100 yds. I checked my mounts (Leupold), but they were good. So I sent the scope back, and The Sportsman's Guide expedited a replacement scope to me (they actually sent it out on good faith the day that I called). The replacement scope did the same thing. After six shots, it was off of the paper. So I returned the unit for a full refund. I would like to say that The Sportsman's Guide has a hassle free return policy.

Mil Dot Target Scope 6-24X40mm quality: I found the scope to be inferior in all aspects. From the construction to it's ability to take shock. It looked good, but looks alone will not put the venison on the table.

Mil Dot Target Scope 6-24X40mm summary: BSA needs to improve this product for obvious operational use and more importantly safety.
