BSA 4X32 AO airgun scope for PCP airgun
« on: January 03, 2004, 11:54:40 PM »
Are these decent scopes or junk? I only want a fixed 4X and the local Bass Pro  carries these for $50. Is the Bushnell 4X ag scope worth the extra $18 ( its $10 more + $8 for shipping). Eventually I want to get a Burris fixed $4X or 6X AG scope but thats going to take a lot more saving. Or since its going to be on a PCP and not have to worry about recoil should I just get a $88 (includes shipping) Simmons 4X Pro-Air and leave it at that?

I have one of those around here somewhere, BSA AR4X32.  It's not a bad scope for the usage you describe.  It's Chinese made, 11 9/16 inches long, weighs 12.0 ounces and is parallex adjustable from 7.5yds to infinity.  I also have the Bushnell Sportsman 4X 72-0004, also made in China and is one of the dogs of the industry.  I've tried both the 4XAO and 3-9AO Sportsman and consider both unacceptable.  

A worthwhile alternative would be a Bushnell Banner #71-4124 4-12X40AO.  This is another great value in scopes.  It is a Korean-made scope with good optics and good mechanics.  Should be less than $90.00 at D and R and maybe elsewhere.

" Eventually I want to get a Burris fixed $4X or 6X AG scope but thats going to take a lot more saving."

Unfortunately, unless they've just RECENTLY re-introduced them, Burris no long makes their fine 4XAO and 6XAO compact scopes.

Thanks for the info. I might just save a little more and get the Banner.
