BSA Scopes
« on: February 18, 2006, 12:51:20 PM »
Got a muzzle loader from Wal-Mart last November.  Paid $42 for it out the door.  Looking to put glass on it and don't want to spend any more than I have to.  Does anyone have experience with BSA scopes and how do they hold up to recoil?

Some may tell you they work for them, but I would not put one on my 22LR. I think they are pure junk. JMHO.  :D

If you don't want to spend a lot of money, go with a Bushnell Banner scope..........best low priced scope there is.........IMHO

Please don't buy that BSA.  It will be a waste of money and I hate to see people get ripped by buying crap.   I'm a little different than most and I don't think you have to spend a fortune on optics.   You can buy decent glass and not have to float a loan to do it; a Bushnell or Simmons would be lightyears better if you need a cheap scope.  The BSA will be a disapointment. It may look good but that is about it.  You can buy a Bushnell or a Simmons for the price of that BSA.   I don't find fault with them b/c they are made in China.  They are just bad, bad, bad excuses for optics.  I actually owned one several years ago.  It was as cloudy as a Coke bottle and strung shots all the time.  I have never seen a decent one.

I bought two of the 4x BSA and put one on a Marlin 60 .22 and the other on My T/C blackdiamond .50 cal
   I think the eyereelief for the ml is too short,got a scope cut.
   However I can't bash them yet as they have both worked fine since last Christmas and I've shot these guns a lot.

The last BSA that i got was one of their 2 and 1/2 power pistol scopes for my 41 mag. The thing lasted for a total of 9 shots till it came apart .
 
Their CS is a total waste of time and money , Do yourself a big favor get the Bushnell or even a Tasco is better than the BSA junk .  :evil:
