I have heard differing opinions. Not good for anything bigger than a 22 and strong enough for 270. I know the glass si not as good as leupold but will these hold up on medium calibers like 25-06 or 270??
Thanks,

I've had my catseye 3.5-10 on everything from a .223 to my .25 wssm.  Now its on my .308.  No problems and mine has decently clear glass...

Hope that helps :)

I'm voting 3rd party in this election by writing in Jesus Christ for president.  Sadly even if this were an option most of you would still vote Republican because "It's a two party system."

I put a Cateye 3 X 9 x 40 on my 4570 TC contender carbine, with pistol loads. It lasted 4 shots, after a lot of hassel from the guy on the phone, they fixed it (sent me a new one).  I will never buy another BSA.

I have two BSA scopes.  The first one rattles and came from Cabela's on a pellet rifle.  But that is not fair as pellet rifles kill scopes.  The other was a 2X pistol scope that the cross hairs were coiled.   They are crooked in the scope.  But for under $50 what did I expect.  I now save my quarters and buy Weaver when I need a scope  Own 4 now, although I'm looking at the Trijicon scopes real hard for two rifles I want to own.  I also have a couple of Leupolds and can not tell the diff between them and the Weavers except in the wallet.  I do own three Bushnell scopes and they work well.  One replaced the BSA on the pellet gun and was made for a pellet rifle.  Works great.  I shoot that thing almost every week and it has been working well for the last 5 years.  The Bushnell 3-9X32 Banner on my 22 mag Marlin will be changed to a Weaver when I get some other projects done.
