BSA 6-24x40 AO

This scope is too long for the rifle I was going to put it on so I put it on my HW30S by using both mounting clamps on the front part of the scope. It is clear and I could see ok through it but could not adjust it higher than 14 power, because I could not hold it still enough to stay on a target. I took it off and put it on another rifle and without thinking started to cock the break barrel rifle and the barrel hit the scope. It was my fault as I had gotten in a hurry to change it to the other rifle. Well I had bent it wen the barrel hit it and the adjustments would not let it get within 8" of my aim point. So I remounted it 180 degrees different and used the same lever to adjust it back enough to hit paper. It was still off and I mounted it in the correct way and then holding the rifle with the scope mounted, pushed the scope against a bench. It now comes in and stays on POA, but I am worried that if I drop it I will have the problem again. I would think the tube would be a little stronger, so if you get it, be careful when you mount it on break barrel or if it falls against the scope front.

Pros
Has a good clear sight picture and adjusts easily from 10m to other ranges

Cons
Very long and I think a little weak for its length

i think this is one of the most overlooked scopes on the market, i have 2 of these one on my benjamin titan 22 cal and one on my hatsan 125 th in 25 cal. i have over 3000 rounds through the benji and 2000 through my hatsan with no problems what so ever and anyone who has ever shot a hatsan 125 knows it kicks like a mule. this scope has great clarity and the turrets have crisp clicks,it has screw on lens covers which are a nice addition...i would give it 10 stars but thats not possible here,you will not beat this scope for the price!

Pros
great clarity, mil dot ,ao,very reliable scope

Cons
NONE

I called the company to ask some questions about the scope. I was told that the bsa scopes are NOT made for air rifles. the reverse recoil of a air rifle will trash them.

Got this scope about a Month ago. Mounted on a Big Cat 1400. The scope holds zero very well and have had no issues after 500 or more rounds. This cope is very clear. 4 stars because the barrel will not open with sunshade installed.
