The BSA Sweet .22 4-12x40mm rimfire rifle scope is purpose-built for .22 LR shooters who want precision without the price tag of premium hunting glass. Rimfire hunting and target shooting demand a different approach than centerfire calibers—tighter shot groups, smaller game, and the need for fast target acquisition at varied distances. This scope delivers on all fronts with a 4-12x magnification range that works equally well for squirrel hunting in the timber or group work on the bench, backed by ballistically calibrated turrets for three common .22 LR loads and an adjustable objective for sharp focus across close and distant targets.
The 40mm objective lens and fully coated optics gather enough light for reliable use in low-light conditions without adding unnecessary weight to a rimfire rifle. Eye relief sits at a comfortable 3 inches, and the 1/4 MOA adjustment graduations let you dial in precision corrections without overthinking it. The duplex reticle is a time-proven design for fast target centering and holdover work. At 4x power you'll have a wide 40-foot field of view at 100 yards—ideal for hunting—while the 12x magnification narrows that to 10 feet for serious target evaluation and small-game accuracy. The adjustable objective lets you focus the image sharp from close range to infinity, eliminating parallax error and keeping your shots consistent.
Mounting is straightforward: the scope ships with two-piece dovetail rings already included, so you're not hunting for extra parts before you can get to the range. The matte black finish resists glare and blends with any rimfire platform, from classic bolt actions to modern semi-autos. If your .22 is a working gun—hunting, plinking, or precision practice—this is the optic that makes sense.

Yes. The BSA Sweet .22 is specifically designed for the .22 LR platform. The included dovetail rings mount directly to any rimfire rifle with a dovetail top. Fit depends on your rifle's rail system—verify that it uses standard dovetail mounts before ordering.
The turrets are optimized for three of the most common .22 LR bullet weights: 36 grain, 38 grain, and 40 grain. The calibration helps you dial in elevation corrections specific to the load you're shooting most often, reducing the need for constant hold-over adjustments and making your shooting more consistent across different distances.
Yes. The adjustable objective lets you eliminate parallax error and keep the image sharp whether you're shooting at close range (like 15 yards) or out to distance. This is especially useful for rimfire hunting, where targets vary widely in distance, and for precision bench shooting where image sharpness matters.
It works well for both. The 4-12x range gives you a wide field of view for hunting scenarios and enough magnification for precision work on the bench or at the range. The duplex reticle is intuitive for game hunting, and the adjustable objective keeps your image sharp in the field.
