I am thinking about a BSA platnum 6-24 scope. I don't have enough money for a high dollar scope. Can anyone tell me anything about these scopes......

Honestly, I do not recommend BSA scopes. Don't really like them!

I had one and it was terrible. The tracking was not repeatable at all. Do yourself a favor and save up a while longer and get one worth having.

Don't know what you are going to put it on, but I had one a 209x50 Encore. It busted on the fifth shot.

There was a series of tests on scopes in a magazine (I don't remember which one) and the BSA was junk.

BSA scopes are very shotty. I have a feeling that BSA stands for "Built Shotty Alright."

Big T, It seems nobodies a fan of BSA anymore not even myself.

What's you price range? and which reticle were you looking at?
What will be your primary use, Target shooting, Deer Hunting, Varmint Hunting, etc.?

Give us some deatils of the use and I'm sure you'll get some worthy advise.

i bought a simmons airgun scope 6-24 and put it on my 22k-hornet contender carbine. it,s been great! good optics very repeatable. $149.oo from midway.

when it comes to buying rifle scopes, spend as much as you can possibly afford and you will NEVER regret it.
