Seems like a good deal to put on some beater guns, like my Maximus.

Not AO, the default AO is at 100 yards, probably too far.
Also the spec is conflicting. The title says 6-18, the description says 2-7.
-
The UPC code has "AO" in it. Also all pictures show the AO ring with marking to at least 15 yards. The BSA official site has the same info so I will take the chance.

Model #TW223-618X40AOCP appears to be AO

$36 shipped on Amazon which with shipping is cheaper than DVOR or Midway.
-
not much difference from OP with 2-5 day delivery @ $38.74
but i see your point..... ;)
-
DVOR and Optics Planet are essentially the same company. Every time I order something from DVOR is comes in an Optics Planet box!
-
A call to Optics Planet to ask about the scope would likely solve the conflicting title vs description...they have for me the couple times I've called with questions.

yep, thats always a good thing !!! thanks ;)

$2 is $2. Plus Amazon is simple and easy to deal with.
-
It looks like both places are the same price when you consider shipping.
It looks like a good scope at a bargain price.

With AO this seems to be a good deal. For airguns we typically are more concerned about short range so I do not think we use anything more than 10x often. At least I do not

I agree AO is great and the US price is super! I'd snatch up a couple. But $229 in Canada is a bit hard to swallow when you guys can get them 10 times less almost ☺️☹️

Can't you just log onto Amazon.com instead of Amazon.ca?
So much for the World Wide Web.

I'm waiting on another deal on the BSA Tactical scopes with the 30mm tube and etched retical to be on sale again. I love the one that I put on my Airmax Dominator 8)

Unfortunately the US has some strange rule that they won't allow scopes to be sold to Canada, so they stop them at the border. We can buy scopes from china/Europe, but not from you guys. One of those strange deals with no explanation, lol.

Yeps, export restrictions. Even though these were not made in US and nothing US proprietary.

$50 @ Amazon & OP now........... ::)

Amazon raised their price to $49.99.

I had one in my Amazon cart, but I will not buy it for $49.99.
-
Amazon senses the interest by observing frequent clicks and raised price. This happens sometimes after I put stuff in cart.
-
Looks like $49.99 everywhere you look now!!!!

Oh well forget it then... wait for the next deal
-
LOL! Seems they generate interest and then raise the price hoping to make more! Crazy!
-
Yeah, the key to these deals is to act fast. They either sell fast or the price jumps up.

I think the key to these deals is to act faster than my wife before she shut down my PC ! LOL

Forgiveness is easier to ask for than permission.

I couldn't resist and got the 6-18x40 for $29.95, but it came out to $39.98 with ship.
-
I see the price is up to 49.99.
Question, which is a better scope, this one or the BSA 6-18X40AO Sweet 22?
-
I think the same scope is selling at Dvor for $29.99 with free two day air shipping (code "2DAYAIR")

I just checked the free shipping code, It's not working on the two shipping methods offered. It's $39.98 shipped from DVOR, same as Optic Planet... Still a great price though...
-
The reason the free two day shipping works for some people but not others is there is a restriction for the code. You payment and ship to address have to be the same.
-
Mine is the same. Still wont work. Only shows two shipping options.

Yep, same here, Standard and Value shipping and the code doesn't work with either shipping method. My shipping and billing address are also the same. I already have one coming from Optics Planet from then this was 1st posted, but if I could get free shipping I was going to order a spare!
-
Amazon down to $41
-
Increasing the qty to 2 makes the two day shipping option show up, then you can enter the free shipping code. I just tested it and it worked.

I just ordered one for $29.99 with free shipping. The free shipping was applied automatically.
Thanks for the tip!!!
-
Ordered one, free shipping code works.
Mixed review hope it's good
-
I just tried again and it worked for the free shipping this morning! I guess i'll have 2 now! I have a few less than optimal off brand scopes that could be replaced, so it won't go to waste!
-

Yeah I had low expectations when I ordered it so I am not disappointed too much. Mine arrived today and it didn't come in a box from the factory like my other BSA scopes (or most of my 30+ scopes). It came in that clear plastic packaging that is a pain to open. It's a spare scope anyway in case one of the others breaks, so I am not even going to open it.
It feels very light btw, which can be good or bad...

same here..i just threw it on the spare scope shelf unopened ::)

Who knows, maybe a gem but doubt it.
-
The $29.99 scope was delivered today.
It looks and feels like a $100 scope.
I wish I had ordered 3 at $29.99 each.
Amazon has them for $41.99 which is a bargain.
Walmart has them for $99.27.
Thanks for the posting the information!
-
My 1st arrived yesterday, the 2nd is due today. I think they are well worth the money and as previously stated look and feel like a $100 scope! One will be going on the Varmint once the stock is completed. I'm going for the tactical look so may as well mount a scope made specifically for an AR application! The other will be a spare, or get mounted on the next rifle that comes through the door...
-
Good to know it works great for you! I only ordered one. The main attraction is AO and compactness.
-
The mil dot cross hairs in this scope are excellent.
They look good and are spaced correctly.
They are 1 mil apart at 10x = 3.6 inches at 100 yards.
They are 0.556 mils apart at 18x = 2.0 inches at 100 yards.
If you run a ballistics program, the mil dots will be correct for 10x.
For 18x you multiply the ballistics program mill dots by 1.8 to get the number of mill dots of correction.
I will run a ballistics program for a gun's most accurate pellet, then copy it to a spreadsheet, then multiply all the mills by 1.8 to get the correction for 18x, then tape the results to my gun stock, then shoot at 18x = maximum power.
-
You probably need to tighten the 3 set screws in each turret cap.
A small wrench is included for this.
My scope came with the .300 ACC turret cap installed.
When I installed the .223 turret cap, I also tightened the 3 set screws in the left/right turret cap.
-
The DVOR sale on these scopes has expired.
I called Patrick at DVOR at 800-504-5820 ext 1397 and he sold me 2 more for $33.59 each = $67.18 total delivered price for 2 scopes.
Yes, I do like these scopes.
-
I hope I'm the exception and not the rule, but...my scope failed after less than 50 shots on my Norica Dragon GRS. The reticle canted 20 degrees clockwise. Would not recommend using it on a springer or gas piston rifle.

That is good to know.
Thank you for that information.
I was going to ask BSA about that, but now I know.
I will not use these scopes on springers or gas piston rifles.
-
Thanks Andrew for the info. I probably put it on my .22 LR or PCP then.
-
My scope is kind dark. Any one else has the same problem?
