Ill second that, it is a very good rimfire scope. The only downside is the open style target turrets they are open to the elements and can get crud and dust in them the scope would be good if the rifle is used mainly as a target/bench gun. For a hunting scope id want the turrets to have dust caps to keep the junk out. If i was to go with a BSA Id go with a contender the target turrets have dust caps. But on the other hand if you are not very good at ranging and judging shot distance the sweet 17 has a trajectory compensator out to 300 yards for the 17 hmr.
