[QUOTE="huffmanite, post: 674262, member: 26864"] Put one of these BSA scopes from Midway on 257Roberts rifle about a month ago. The rifle was a very low cost build using a free mauser action and free gunsmithing services owed me for some stock work I'd done. Only money I had in the rifle was the cost of the barrel (a $90 A&B Midway barrel) and the BSA scope. I've had some decent success with several models of BSA scopes so didn't mind giving this BSA a try. So, presently I have over 120 rounds fired with this scope mounted and have not noted any problems with it except the rings furnished with it are too high. Had it at range today trying a couple of new reload combinations of powder and bullets. Mind you, most of my shooting has only been at 100 yd targets. Occassionally bust a clay pigeon or shoot a steel plate at 200 yards with the rifle. I've yet to take the rifle over to our 400 or 600 yard range to try. Lens quality is nothing to brag about. I have other brand scopes with better optics. However, I've no gripes about its clarity edge to edge at 24 power. Its optics are more than adequate for my needs. Windage and elevation ajustments seem to function well for me. But then, my adjustments are usually just for elevation since I'm constantly trying different powders and bullet combinations....so number of clicks I make is to adjust for changing from say a load with a 75 grain bullet to a load with a 117 grain bullet. Elevation adjustments have performed well for this. Cannot vouch for its repeatability. [/QUOTE]
