If you need higher power, then so be it, but I doubt that you will find a better scope at that price point, I have two of them and I am rather pleased. You can not find a first focal plane scope that offers more value than this for the price. I love how people sneer at BSA not realizing what an exception to the rule this scope is. BTW, Midway USA is the only place that carries this scope and last I checked it wasn't in any of BSA's online marketing materials / catalogs.
Some do, some don't, but unless you are just shooting targets, without a lot of targets, it may be fine, but the field of view is fairly small.
And if you ever try to go hunting, that is way too much power for picking up the game.
And higher power means less light in low light conditions, making it harder to see targets, especially those without a LOT of contrast.
IMO, many people over scope their rifles. They seem to think that more power will make them shoot better.
And remember, the CMP guys shoot to 600 yards with iron sights.
Even my 6-24x Viper PST is a bit small FOV at 100. But that rifle is seldom shot at 100 yards, normally 300 to 1200 yards.
Midway BSA scope is a great scope for the price. It is basically the same scope sold as a Mueller and Primary Arms. BSA name, but NOT a BSA scope. I have one on my rimfire trainer.
