BSA Sweet 17 6-18x40mm Rimfire Rifle Scope with Side Focus & Duplex Reticle - Matte Black
BSA Optics
The BSA Sweet 22 rimfire rifle scope is purpose-built for .22 LR shooters who want genuine optical performance without the premium price tag. This 6-18x40mm side focus scope delivers the magnification range you need to make accurate shots from the bench or in the field, whether you're zeroing a new rifle, hunting small game, or running precision .22 matches. The matte black finish blends with modern and classic rimfire builds alike.
What sets the Sweet 22 apart is its elevation turret design: a fixed outer ring with window cutouts displays bullet-weight compensation markings as you adjust the inner drum. This straightforward system keeps your hold consistent without requiring a ballistics calculator or complicated dial interpretation. Side focus parallax adjustment—ranging from 10 yards to infinity—ensures the reticle stays sharp across the entire magnification range, a feature that matters on smaller targets at distance.
At 6x minimum magnification, you'll handle closer-range varmint and hunting scenarios with both eyes open and a wide field of view (16.6 degrees at 100 yards). Crank it to 18x and you're dialed in for precision work and long-range shooting where every click counts. The duplex reticle is a time-tested workhorse: simple, fast to use, and reliable across changing light conditions. With a quarter-minute click value and 35 minutes of adjustment range in both directions, you have room to dial for drops and hold for wind.
Built for hunters, target shooters, and anyone serious about rimfire accuracy, the BSA Sweet 22 proves that a dedicated rimfire optic doesn't have to break the bank. Mount it on your favorite .22 and feel the difference a scope calibrated for the cartridge can make.

The BSA Sweet 22 is a rimfire scope and will mount on any rifle or rimfire platform with a standard Weaver or Picatinny rail. It's compatible with .22 LR rifles, AR-15 .22 conversions, lever-action .22s, bolt guns, and semiauto rimfire systems. Make sure your rifle's mounting surface matches the ring type you choose.
Yes. The BSA Sweet 22 is factory calibrated for .22 LR. The elevation turret's window cutouts display bullet-weight compensation markings, so you can dial in drops or account for different ammunition weights without doing your own ballistics math.
Yes. The side focus parallax adjustment lets you dial out parallax error from 10 yards all the way to infinity, keeping the reticle sharp and your aim true at any range where you're likely to shoot a .22.
Absolutely. The 6–18x magnification range covers both. At 6x, you get a wide field of view and fast target acquisition for hunting small game or varmints. At 18x, you have the magnification for precise target work, precision .22 matches, and long-range accuracy. The duplex reticle works fast in both modes.
