BSA Rifle scope
Have a sweet 17 3x12-40 on my 1022 wanted the adjustable parallax on the radical great scopes. Set zero at 75 yards on one setting and 125 on the second setting not by built weight. I use Federal Champion 36gr Hollow Point 745 load High Velocity Copper Plated Blue Box only in all my 22s. They work for me, buy them by the case. Hope this helps.

After owning a BSA, I wouldn't take one if you gave it to me. And I surely would not spend money on one.

I have one but prefer the Bushnell with the user-definable scale to be better.
I bought and tried a Sweet 22, but found the scale not to my liking. After trying the Bushnell BDC scope, I ended up buying 6 more for assorted rimfire rifles. The Sweet 22 is not a bad scope at all if limited to squirrel hunting or plinking at one or two distances. But then just about cheaper scope can do the same. The settings or markings on the adjustment did not meet my needs. That's why the Bushnell Banner BDC was the better choice and could be your better choice too depending on what you expect to do with it.
I set my 22 rimfire standard velocity bullet placement to be dead nuts on the spot at 40, 60, 77, and 100 meters. If you shoot other ammo for other reasons, the Sweet 22 may or may not work for you. Let us know if it does, and how you intended to dial it in.

Having owned a BSA optic and seeing a friends "Sweet 17" model scope, I also wouldn't spend any of my money on one. Lousy products and even lousier service. I've got $45 Simmons scopes that have been better quality than what these $100+ BSA things ever are. Personally, I like Burris but if you're looking for something more affordable, look at Mueller. They're very nice, especially for the money and among 10/22 folks, quite popular.
