My NEF sportster 17mach2 with BSA Mildot 6-24x40 scope.blueing on the barrel wasnt to good so i got some matte black krylon and stripped the barrel and applied 2 coats followed by a satin clear finish,sThe stock was sprayed with Krylon O.D. green.

 It looks really nice. Almost like one of the Glocks. Do you have any idea how well the paint will last on the stock? The reason I ask is that I've heard on the Houge overmoulded stocks like I have for my 10/22 paints usually don't stay around too long.

i dont know yet.i just got it done yesterday.i have done a few other synthetic stocks before and it held up well.

i love the bsa very crisp clear image even on 24x.i really like the fact that it has the illuminated mildot and quick focus eyepeice.

 FWIW I had a BSA and I'll never buy another one. Mine self destructed. I won't run them down too bad, but be forewarned.

BSAs have a bad reputation for being very inconsistent, a real crap shoot in getting a good one, some love them, some wouldn't touch one. On Rimfire Central, for use just on rimfires mind you, they have several derogatory descriptions for the letters B S A, so as Rusty said, be forewarned.  I've only used two, one on a spring airgun that was recommended by Lawdog here in the airgun forum that has held up great, and a red dot that fogged up inside on me the first time I used it in foul weather.

I have a sweet 17 on a Savage that is fine.  I looked through at least 15 scopes at Cabelas before I found one that was clear to the edges and had no flares.  I wouldn't buy one through the mail, but I think you can do OK if you can look at them before buying.
