The BSA Sweet 22 rifle scope delivers precision optics specifically engineered for .22 caliber firearms and similar small-bore rifles. This 3-9x40mm scope combines variable magnification with a specialized 30/30 duplex reticle for enhanced target acquisition across multiple shooting distances.
What Makes This Different
Unlike generic rifle scopes, the Sweet 22 features calibrated turrets and reticle spacing optimized for the ballistic trajectory of .22 LR ammunition. The 40mm objective lens gathers sufficient light for dawn and dusk shooting sessions while maintaining a compact profile that won't overwhelm smaller rifle frames. Multi-coated lenses provide 85% light transmission for crisp, clear images even in challenging lighting conditions.
Key Features
- 3-9x variable magnification with smooth zoom ring operation
- 40mm objective lens with multi-coated optics for enhanced clarity
- 30/30 duplex reticle optimized for medium-range shooting
- 1-inch diameter tube construction for standard ring compatibility
- Black matte finish reduces glare and provides corrosion resistance

Field performance centers on versatility across small game hunting, target shooting, and plinking applications.

Windage and elevation adjustments feature positive click detents for reliable zero retention through extended shooting sessions.
