- Adjustable objective system lets you remove parallax error at typical rimfire distances, which supports precise shot placement on varmints and small game.
- 30/30 Duplex reticle offers a simple view that works with busy field backgrounds and paper targets without extra hash marks or clutter.
- Fully coated lenses enhance image clarity and brightness so small animals and steel targets stand out in typical morning and evening light.
- Two piece dovetail rings included with the BSA Sweet 17 3-9x40 AO (1739X40AO) scope provide an out of the box mounting solution for many rimfire rifles.
- Sealed, shockproof housing protects internal components so this Sweet 17 optic holds zero under normal rimfire use and regular transport.
Practical Benefits
- The BSA Sweet 17 3-9x40 AO scope (1739X40AO) fits 17 HMR rifles used for prairie dogs, ground squirrels, and other varmint work where predictable, repeatable elevation is important.
- The 3-9x zoom range and 40mm objective make this optic ideal for close range pest control around structures as well as longer shots in open fields.
- Calibrated 17 HMR elevation markings help you move quickly from a short range zero to extended rimfire distances without constant chart checks or complicated holdovers.
- Adjustable objective parallax lets you set the focus and parallax to match typical rimfire engagement distances, which keeps your aiming point and target sharp and aligned.
- Included dovetail rings mean this Sweet 17 scope works with many rimfire dovetail bases and simplifies mounting when you build or upgrade a 17 HMR rifle.
