Any info on BSA Platinum fixed power target scopes?

I fear I will receive an avalanche of scorn for asking, But the low cost of the BSA Platinum 24 and 36 fix power rifle scopes intrigue me.
Anyone here have any useful information on these budget minded scopes.

   OK I'm seated securely in my chair. Let er fly>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Mag41vance,

I have a 36x BSA that I bought from Midway USA on close out awhile back. After I got it mounted and adjusted for my eyes it has been fine, it is not as bright as I would like, and the window of where your eye is in perfect focus of the scope is small. But the scope tracks well with the adjustments, and I have had no problems with recoil bothering the scope. The adjustments are not covered so you will have to watch that, and the clicks are not as firm as a couple of my other scopes, but I can change it from my 200 yard zero out to my 600 yard zero and it has always been right on the money, if I dial in 20 moa I get 20 moa, if I dial in 3/8moa that is what I get. For the issues it has of not being that bright and the small overall eye relief range I find that it works ok for what you pay for them. Is there better scopes out there? Yes there are. Have there been QC issues with these scope? Yes, I think I am lucky to have one that works well for me. I am sure others will give comments too, so just take them all and then figure out what is important to you in a scope.
