BSA mildot 4-16x40 good idea? Bad idea?
I have been thinking about putting a higher magnification scope on my 580-series mini-14 (I'm getting a bit long in the tooth and my eyes aren't what they used to be). Today I was in Academy and I saw a BSA 4-16x40 Mil-Dot Scope | Illuminated Reticle for $99. Is this a decent scope or a piece of junk?
I don't want to look a gift horse in the mouth, but $99 for a scope seems too good to be true. So - this scope - good idea? Bad idea? Will it hold up on a semi-auto? Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance JCB |

There is a reason most experiened shooters think that BSA stands for Been Suckered Again. Keep searching - there are MUCH better scopes out there for not much more money.

BSA 8-24
200 yards tikka t3 .308 lake city training I hear a lot of bad things about BSA, haven't personally had any issues. Light gain on my buddy's Swarovski is about 30 minutes better which does count for hunting. |
