Anybody know if Dicks sporting goods quit selling the BSA sweet 22 scope? I have been looking at buying that scope for years now and now that I have a modern .22 and a bunch of gift cards from Dicks I went to buy one and cant find one anywhere! A week ago I looked it up on their website and they had it in stock but now it's not even on there anymore. The only BSA scope that they show on the website now is the sweet 17.  |

BSA is no doubt the lowest quality scope out there. Plus, dont buy from Dick's until till they learn to suppkrt the 2nd admendment.

Stay away from BSA and Barska. They are TERRIBLE scopes.

I have a Sweet 17 scope that I got as part of a trade 2 years ago and just now put on a 17 HMR for squirrels.
I know there are some who would dispute my opinion but here is what I have seen in my BSA scope (also my first, my one and only and my last BSA scope) But looking at those comments before me I don't think any BSA lovers have spoken up yet...lol
All I can say is that it is definitely a very low quality scope (after just sighting it in and a weekend of hunting with it the list of issues, faults and problems is lengthy) and that I do not expect it to last long with even light use. I basically have nothing in it so the price is right to at least try it out. And from what I have seen there is no way in the world I would spend money on one of their scopes and hope it would survive the recoil of a caliber higher than a rimfire round.
Also....those cute little white numbers and hash marks on the elevation dial are pretty much useless. There is no way these scopes are set for their specific round because with as many times as I had to turn that dial to get the scope centered was outrageous. And no...at a 100 yard zero the dial is nowhere near that so you would have to remove and reset the dial once you are set at your zero.
But...I doubt I could adjust for a 200 yard shot as shown on the elevation dial...I don't think there is that much left to turn on that dial because I had to turn it so much to get it to zero at 50 yards let alone out to 100.
And I can also tell you that when the elevation dial is adjusted for a longer shot and then reset back to your zero....it will not be back to zero. Your shot will be off once you move the dial so just set it and leave it alone or get accustomed to missing a lot of shots. This is the earmark of a very cheap and poorly made scope.
They advertise and tout all their bells and whistles on their scopes but their quality is so low it is not worth it at any price. Even at nearly free I already feel like it was not worth what I paid and I don't think I have $10 in this thing.
I would suggest looking at a Simmons at the least just to get a better quality scope and much better quality glass. I have broken every Tasco I ever bought - at least Simmons will last. At least they used to - but I haven't bought anything but Nikon, Leupold and Burris for the past few years.
Good Luck!!!
