The BSA Sweet .17 AO is a rimfire rifle scope built from the ground up for .17 HMR shooters who demand accuracy without the premium price tag. This 3-12x40mm scope delivers the magnification range you need for precision shooting at distance, whether you're hunting varmints or testing loads at the range. The adjustable objective lets you dial in a sharp sight picture from close range out to infinity, and the fully coated optics keep your view bright and clear even in variable light. Matte black finish resists glare and blends with modern rimfire rigs.
What sets this scope apart is the ballistically calibrated turret, dialed in specifically for the 17-grain .17 HMR load. That means your elevation adjustments are tuned to the cartridge's actual trajectory—no guesswork, no converting from generic .22 data. The duplex reticle is simple, fast, and proven. Quarter-minute MOA clicks give you precise, repeatable adjustments, and the 3 inches of eye relief keep your face comfortable behind the scope through extended shooting sessions.
This is serious glass for a working rimfire. Pair it with the included 2-piece dovetail rings and mount it on your favorite .17 platform. At 40mm objective and 3-12 power, you're looking at a scope that handles bright daylight and overcast conditions alike, with enough magnification for 100-yard+ varmint work and enough field of view to track quick-moving targets.

Yes. The elevation turret is ballistically calibrated for the 17-grain .17 HMR cartridge, so the turret clicks align with that cartridge's trajectory. This takes the guesswork out of zeroing and lets you dial holdover quickly.
It uses a duplex reticle (also called a 30/30), which features thin outer wires that widen toward the center. It's a time-tested design that's fast to pick up in the field and clean in any lighting condition.
The scope ships with 2-piece dovetail rings, so you can mount it directly to any rimfire with a dovetail rail or adapter.
While the scope is specifically ballistically calibrated for .17 HMR, it can be mounted on any rimfire with compatible dovetail rails. If you use a different cartridge, you'll need to zero it yourself—the turret calibration is optimized for the 17-grain HMR load.
