Personally, I don' t own a BSA scope, but I did check them out last fall when I put glass on a new rifle. I would say your right with you Tasco analogy. For the money, not bad, but not what I would put on a gun.

I would take a nikon over the burris, but they are both good scopes.

From my experience though, I won' t put anything less than Leuopold on my guns.
