Recently I have seen the t.v. commercials about the various scopes offered by BSA.  I must admit that the prices seem quite attractive. I know that they will not be in the same class as a Aimpoint but for someone on a tight budget, it could be a good purchase.  

I would hope to get some product ratings from someone with first hand experience BSA optics before i make a purchase.

Messed with a couple owned by friends and relatives...  Junk...

If you want an inexpensive, good quality scope...  Check out the Nikon Pro Staff line.

The couple BSA's I've dealt with have been junk.  There's better inexpensive options.  I'd rather put the same money into a lower level Bushnell.

I think im the only one who has had good luck with one.  I have 4-16 BSA on a remington 700.  still shoots MOA when i do my part.  POI doesnt change with power adjustments.  But ive only shot it out to 200.  My only complaint is that its HUGE.  I agree about the nikon prostaff.  Got one on my 10/22.  great scope.

That's because a $100 optic is shit.

And BSA.

There are two ways this will turn out,
1. You buy the BSA, it doesnt hold zero, so you buy a more expensive optic.

2. The BSA fits your needs so you keep it for a while, then one day at the range you look through a better quality optic and shit bricks...

Either direction leads you to a higher quality optic eventually. I started with a leapers scope, then looked through an ACOG... I'm picking my TA31F RCO up Sunday. Or you can get a used Comp M on EE for ~$200.00. I'm not sure if your going red dot or magnified but the point remains.

If you can't afford $200.00 on optic on a $1,000.00 rifle you've got more pressing problems then shooting your AR.

two low cost quality scopes cheapest is Simmons prairie master from Natchez shooters supply. a bit more is the nikkon sterling series. both good quality scopes that wont break the bank.another that i just remembered is the Mueller scopes.None will let you count the whiskers on a gopher but all will allow you to shoot it.
