sweet .223
« on: February 21, 2007, 04:11:32 AM »
has anyone here heard anything about the new BSA sweet .223?  My dad has the sweet .17 for his hmr and really likes it.  I see you can adjust for bullet weight.  I can't find it on their website, but here it is at midway.

That's the first bad report on the Sweet 17 scope I recollect,  Sourdough has one on his 17hmr Sportster and loves it, as do hundreds of BSA owners at RFC. If ya got a bad one, contact BSA and get it replaced, don't just bash it, they have excellent CS from all reports. Have you contacted them backstrap?? ???
