BSA Sweet .17 Adjustable Objective Rifle Scope
The Sweet .17 represents a thoughtful engineering solution for hunters pursuing small game with the .17 HMR cartridge. This scope is purpose-built for that specific application, not a compromise.
Optical Performance
Magnification and Objective: The 3-9x40mm configuration provides adequate light gathering for rimfire hunting while maintaining a manageable sight picture. The 40mm objective balances brightness with overall scope weight and balance on lightweight rimfire platforms.
Lens Coatings: Fully multicoated optics maximize light transmission and image clarity in field conditions.
Reticle: The 30/30 duplex reticle is a proven design. The thicker outer posts aid in low-light acquisition, while the finer center crosshairs allow precise aiming.
Mechanical Features
Adjustable Objective: The AO system eliminates parallax error from 10 yards to infinity—essential for accurate shooting at varying distances typical of rimfire hunting.
Turrets: The elevation turret is ballistically calibrated for 17-grain ammunition, reducing the need for complex mental calculations in the field.
Construction: The 1-inch aluminum tube is a proven standard. The scope is waterproof, shockproof, and fog-proof—practical durability for hunting conditions.
Eye Relief: Generous eye relief accommodates shooters wearing glasses and reduces the risk of scope bite during recoil.
Included Accessories
Two-piece dovetail rings are included, ready for mounting on standard rimfire platforms.

This is a straightforward, honest scope designed for a specific purpose. It does that job well.
