BSA 30mm Red Dot Sight Reviews

Easy to use and Zero

Nothing

Great for price.

Very good sight works well for me.

Good value for the money. Perfect on my Crosman 1322 with steel breach kit. I really wasn’t expecting much for the price and was just looking for an inexpensive dot scope.

Nothing

Feels solid. Turrets give crisp clicks as you rotate. I wish the red dots sold for telescopes were as well built and easy to adjust.

Maybe a more "attractive" bikini bra style lenses cover with a more positive fit. Perhaps give a high-mount option. My magazine would not fit under on my Bandit. Single shot tray is just fine for this psuedo target pistol though.

AS Always RTFM (read that FINE manual). Upon first installation take you first test shots agains the broad side of a whitewashed barn. Mark a POA, shoot a few and measure the discrepancy. My barrel was shooting over one foot high and nearly that far to the left of the POA when installed. it took a lot of clicks to get red dot and barrel to agree.

I have 4 of these they are my go to optics nice solid dot no matter number choice and no flaring

Size smaller would be great

As mention size matters but pistol or rifle they do the job out to 30 yards which is all the range I have good luck

Mounted this on my Crossman Vigilante it adds a little more weight, but it beats using the normal sights and gets you on target quick. Squirrels can be tracked easier.

The weight added to the pistol needs some getting used to. not so much on my rifle.

I had to modify the rail on the pistol to mount it.

Non

Endurance

12 shots on my Hatsan and it broke down

Looks great

Very hard to zero

Can't say. Sight would not zero. Has been returned for replacement.

Suggest check as soon as arrives. The customer service at BSA was very cooperative.

looks cool

dot is big

the centerpoint is better

Lightweight, easy to use, arrived on schedule

The reversible mount needs closer tolerance on 3/8" side

Cool little sight, this is my first 'red dot'. Easy to operate, would have been quick to install. However... This sight has a reversible mount to fit Weaver-type or 3/8" dovetails. Problem was, the mount was a bit too wide, I measured mine at 13/32" minimum. I mounted it on my Crosman 1077 and it slid around, the grooves are exactly 3/8". I don't panic and don't return things unless I have to: I remedied the problem by shimming the dovetails on my rifle with good vinyl tape. A single narrow strip in each dovetail groove did the trick, it's solid now. Sighting in was straightforward after discovering the Elevation turret wasn't tight enough and started to unscrew when adjusting down. I retightened it and went through 36 grams of CO2, about 160 shots. Full sun on a clear day and the dot was sufficient on setting 5 against a black 3" target at 50', clear weather, midday.

I don't have anything to compare this to and it's my first red dot. I found it easy to sight in and accurate for my use.

Nothing.

I'm not sharp enough to give advice.

Well built Easy to site in Durable Great value

Nothing Great value and excellent performance

Very satisfied

The site is very well built for being made out of plastic, it has been very accurate, and has handled the impact of my Benjamin just fine. This site is great for the money.

Nothing.

This is a great site for a inexpensive pistol that you do not want to spend too much extra money on, and would work perfectly fine for the money.

Easy mounting on my Browning 800 express. Fast target acquisition and easy to sight in

Nothing

This red dot sight is a terrific value. Mounted on my P17 it has improved my accuracy immensely. My 61 year old eyes struggle trying to focus the sights and the target, it is one or the other. This sight has made shooting fun again. Indoor shooting at thirty feet, the dot is about dime sized, dime sized groups no problem.

A smaller dot would be nice, but for the price it is fine at close range.

Remember to turn it off after use

It was easy to mount to an 11mm rail and zero.

After about 50 rounds the selector that controls on/off and brightness became loose and had no detent settings. I had to remove the battery, remove the battery connection plate and tighten a number of small screws in order to regain the use of the red dot. For the money what do you expect? Funny thing is I have another one of these red dots mounted on a 9mm carbine and have had no problems with it. I figured if this could handle the recoil of a 9mm round then it should have no problems with an air rifle.

None

I like everything about the BSA 30mm sight. The price, the look, and the easy setup. Good job on this one
