wraivi Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 A shooting buddy had one on his CZ 17HMR and it just wouldnt hold its zero from one week to the next. He returned it and fitted a nikko sterling... job done. Could be the scope or the mounts but it felt cheap and optically inferior to its replacement. My money would would not be spent on the sweet 17 however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dekers Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 If you get a good one they are ok! BSA don't make them, I don't actually know who does but suspect a Chinese firm, that is not a criticism, many half decent scopes are made there, but the BSA range of scopes are budget to say the least! Some may buy/use it specifically for its design use, but plenty of others get by just fine with other makes on their HMR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al69ec Posted August 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 I like the idea of the bdc but I suppose with experience and a bit of practice I wouldn't really need it anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deiseboy Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 They are hit and miss apparently, I refused a free one for my hmr from reviews I read on forums. Theres even a sticky on the american hmr forum about stop starting stupid threads about holding zero if you are using a *** BSA sweet 17. it might hold zero if you dont try and adjust the target turrets.

Shows what I know :-). I wouldn't have brought one anyway because I'm a brand snob but best stay away ;-). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lineshooter Posted August 31, 2013 Report Share Posted August 31, 2013 Supposedly Bsa optics are supplied through Gamo and are made, as mentioned in China, I did have one of these but found it only worked properly on a 177 pcp airgun. I`d spend your money on another brand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
