BSA Sweet .17 AO Rimfire Rifle Scope 3-12x40mm Adjustable Objective Duplex Reticle - Matte Black
BSA Optics
The BSA Sweet 6.5 Creedmoor AO rifle scope is engineered from the ground up for shooters running the 6.5 Creedmoor—a cartridge that's become the gold standard for precision hunting and long-range target work. This 4.5-18x40mm scope brings serious optical capability to mid-range hunting and tactical applications without the weight penalty of larger objective lenses. The adjustable objective (AO) lens lets you dial out parallax and get a crisp sight picture from 50 yards to distance, a feature that matters when accuracy counts.
What sets the Sweet 6.5 AO apart is its ballistically calibrated turret system. BSA engineered three dedicated turrets optimized for the three most common 6.5 Creedmoor loads—120-grain, 129-grain, and 140-grain—so you can dial true elevation for your exact ammunition without doing math at the range or in the field. That's real convenience on a hunting scope. The 30/30 duplex reticle is clean and fast in low light, with a heavy outer post and fine crosshairs that work equally well on game or paper targets.
Build quality is solid for the price. Fully coated optics deliver bright, clear images across the 4.5–18x magnification range, and the scope is sealed waterproof, shockproof, and fogproof so it won't fog up after temperature swings or rough handling. At 1/4 MOA per click and 35 MOA of windage/elevation adjustment range, you've got the dial authority you need. The matte black finish stays non-reflective in brush and timber. Two-piece Weaver rings are included, so you're ready to mount straight out of the box.
This is a practical choice for 6.5 Creedmoor hunters who want ballistic turrets and mid-range magnification without paying for features they won't use. It's also a solid fit for shooters new to dialing for distance who benefit from purpose-built elevation cams.

Yes. The BSA Sweet 6.5 AO features three ballistically calibrated elevation turrets optimized for 120-grain, 129-grain, and 140-grain 6.5 Creedmoor ammunition. You can dial true elevation directly for your load without using a ballistics calculator or external reference.
The adjustable objective (AO) lens lets you eliminate parallax error—the apparent shift in point of aim when your eye moves slightly off center behind the scope. By dialing the AO to your shooting distance, you get a sharper, more accurate sight picture. It's especially valuable for precision hunting and target shooting where small errors add up.
The scope comes mounted with two-piece Weaver rings, so you can attach it directly to a Weaver or Picatinny rail. No additional mounting hardware is needed.
The ballistically calibrated turrets are specifically optimized for 6.5 Creedmoor loads. While the scope itself will function on other calibers, you won't benefit from the purpose-built elevation cams and will need to calculate holdover or dial adjustment separately.
