- Min Magnification:
- 3x
- Max Magnification:
- 9x
The BSA Sweet .270 3-9x40mm adjustable objective rifle scope is built for hunters who want repeatable, caliber-specific performance without the premium price tag. This scope comes factory-tuned for .270 Winchester with three common hunting loads—100, 130, and 150-grain bullets—so your bullet drop compensation turrets are already dialed in for the cartridge. That's a real advantage over generic scopes that force you to do ballistic math in the field. The 3-9x magnification range covers everything from brush hunting to 300-yard shots, while the 40mm objective lens gathers enough light for early morning and late afternoon hunting without adding excessive weight.
Build quality is straightforward and honest. The scope features a one-piece aluminum main tube, fully coated lenses to cut glare and boost light transmission, and the rugged duplex reticle that generations of hunters have trusted. You get adjustable objective parallax (7.5 yards to infinity), so you can dial out image shimmer at your distance, and quarter-MOA clicks for precise elevation and windage adjustments. At 21.8 ounces, it's light enough for a long day in the hills. It's waterproof, shockproof, and fogproof—the basics you need from a scope that might see rain, dust, or hard recoil.
The package includes a pair of Weaver-style rings, so you can mount it straight to a compatible base without hunting for extra hardware. Matte black finish keeps glint to a minimum. This is the kind of scope for hunters who value predictable, straightforward performance: no complicated windage holds, no guessing—you glass your target, trust your turrets, and take the shot.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this scope calibrated for .270 Winchester hunting loads?
Yes. The BSA Sweet .270 comes with bullet drop compensation turrets factory-calibrated for three common .270 hunting bullet weights: 100, 130, and 150 grains. This means your elevation turret is already dialed for .270 ballistics—you don't have to calculate drop on your own or use a generic scope's ambiguous markings.
What magnification and field of view does this scope offer?
The 3-9x magnification range is a versatile hunting zoom. At 3x, you get a wide 34.2-foot field of view at 100 yards for closer shots and moving targets. At 9x, the field narrows to 11.5 feet, giving you more detailed sight picture for longer-range precision. The 40mm objective lens supports solid low-light performance across the entire range.
Does the scope come with mounting rings?
Yes. The package includes a pair of 2-piece Weaver-style rings, so you can attach the scope to any Weaver-compatible rifle base without purchasing extra hardware.
What reticle does this scope use, and where is it located?
The BSA Sweet .270 features a duplex reticle in the second focal plane. The duplex is a proven hunting reticle with heavy outer wires for fast target location and thin inner wires for precise aiming. Second focal plane means the reticle size stays the same relative to the field of view as you change magnification—a familiar setup for most hunters.
