The BSA Sweet 17 3-12x40mm AO delivers precision optics specifically calibrated for .17 caliber rimfire cartridges. This variable power scope combines adjustable objective focusing with a proven 30/30 duplex reticle system for enhanced accuracy at extended ranges.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard rimfire scopes, the Sweet 17 features factory calibration optimized for .17 HMR and .17 HM2 ballistics. The adjustable objective lens eliminates parallax from 10 yards to infinity, while the 4x zoom ratio provides versatility from close-range pest control to precision varmint hunting at 200+ yards. Multi-coated optics deliver 95% light transmission for clear target acquisition in varied lighting conditions.
Key Features
- 3-12x variable magnification with 40mm objective lens diameter
- Adjustable objective (AO) eliminates parallax from 10 yards to infinity
- 30/30 duplex reticle with precise crosshair intersection
- 1-inch tube diameter fits standard mounting rings
- Multi-coated lenses provide 95% light transmission
- Nitrogen-filled tube prevents internal fogging
- Black matte finish reduces glare and reflection
Field performance centers on the scope's ability to maintain zero through temperature changes and recoil cycles typical of semi-automatic .17 caliber rifles. The 40mm objective gathers sufficient light for dawn and dusk hunting sessions while maintaining a compact profile. Precision shooters benefit from the fine duplex crosshairs that don't obscure small targets at maximum magnification.
