I had a 6-25x50 catseye on my m70 300 win mag. always held the zero and it was tghe best low light scope I ever had. Didn't do much for me on the higher powers though. For the money it is a good scope.

Even though I started hunting in the stone age, I have never owned a BSA scope.

The very first BSA I owned the crosshairs broke the first day at the range. Sent it back and didn't have a problem with the second one. I won't say they are a great scope because they aren't I now have Leupolds on most all my rifles. I only own 1 BSA and it is a sweet 17 on a .17 HMR it works for that rifle.
