Though I do not have the Sweet .22 I do have the sweet .17. The simmons is a much lighter and smaller scope. I have the sweet .17 on a ruger .17hmr and the simmons on a benjamin pcp pellet rifle. I like both for what they are set up on. I really like how light and compact the simmons is.

This is a great scope. I dont see why it wouldnt be. The 3x9x40 is a great all purpose power but you might want something with more flexibility. Your decision will depend on what you will be using the gun for and how far you are wanting to shoot. As far as the quality, clarity, and ease of set up, I would recommend this scope all day long. Good luck!

hello I am using a bushnell scope at the moment for a small caliber rifle. It is not holding up to the recoil of the hornet. I have some friends that do a lot of hunting with high power air rifles and they all use this one in the link I am purchasing one myself. I hope this helps http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005WIAUUU/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER

Also I think you can look up bdc conversions on Google. Its a great scope for the money. I've owned quite a few rifle and scope setups and this one on my tikka t3 has been my favorite and most useful across the board so far. Haven't found a use for the illuminated reticle yet but its cool to have.

Wrong answer I first gave, I know nothing about the 3-9x40 scope .The 3-9 x32 Hammer has been a great little scope on my pellet rifle .I'm not a expert here on scopes.However my scope is clear, it zeroed easy and it has stayed zeroed on my pellet rifle. It works for me..

Same thing. Just cheaper on amazon. This scope is awesome and the price on amazon makes it more appealing.

You do not want this scope! It is bad. The retacles are both cockeyed. Won't zero in! I sent it back and got a Nikon scope! Very pleased with it. Just bought the rings for rails. All fits well!! Hope this answers your question!!

That was the same question I asked myself. So I bought both. The answer is yes the 3-9 X 40 scope provides a better image at low level light conditions. That is the scope I use on my gun.

Very thin. They won't blot out your target at any range or power. Go to leapers.com for more detail. The important thing about this scope is the 'etched glass' vs. wire reticle. Etched won't come loose or break. Etched is better, IMHO. I did return the scope because of the weight. Exchanged it for its 3x9 cousin. Weight is not a problem for a benchrest shooter. Weight is a problem for a hunter carrying it in the woods. Something to consider. I love the Accushot scopes and own 2. Best bang for the buck, again, IMHO. There are better scopes for twice the price, or more.

Sorry, I can't help you. I bought the scope for my grandkids. Don't know anything about them, 'cause I'm a Grammy and Grammies don't know things like that! Good Luck.

I have the 3X9 on a Rock river AR 15 with a 20" Bbl. The scope is sighted in at 200 yards and the BDC works very well. I think it is a great scope for the $$$.

Hi, I'm not a scope snob. I think there are decent cheap or inexpensive scopes. This isn't one of them. If you are anyone other than Stevie Wonder I urge you not to buy this scope. You will regret it.

To be honest, I don't know. Actually I haven't been to the range yet to zero this scope. The 'sniper' concept behind it seems valid. But the proof is in the pudding. Not much help I know, but what I've read on this scope, and the Sweet 17 one too, has all been good.

The M1A was not designed to use a scope and in my opinion all the scope mounting options available for it will yield unacceptable instability of the mount with resultant poor accuracy. Also empty casings impact the mounts affecting scope zero and potentially jamming the action. I would suggest not scoping it. If you want good accuracy from a scoped gun, get one designed to wear a scope. That being said I think this is a dandy scope for use out to 200 yards with any weapon. Beyond that I'd go to a higher power like 3x9 etc. Good luck!

The rail size is 5 1/4 inches. Ronnie Sunshines has a BSA 3-9X40AO scope for $39.99Archer Airguns has a Hammer 3-9X40AO scope w Airgun mount $59.99 Good luck. I couldn"t get the Ruger Air Hawk with the scope that was supplied zero in.

This scope fits many different rifles,, 17hmr, 22, 223, 30-06, the only difference is the turret drum. The turret drum is calibrated for bullet drop for the different rifles. If your AR has the same ballistics as a 17hmr, you will be happy. I'm not sure BSA sells the turret drums separately, but if not, the Sweet series of scopes are not expensive. I ranged a jackrabbit at 241 yards, set my Sweet 17 at 240, it was a perfect shot, one round, dead center. The Sweet series from BSA are all excellent choices, choose your caliber and have fun!!!!!

I believe this item may be an older edition. When I bought mine I price compared on their site too and didn't find the exact scope on it. They had a newer version with some bells and whistles that cost an extra couple hundred bucks and did the same thing as this one. I love mine. If I were going to do anything differently I might have chosen an optic that had up to 6X zoom instead of 4X. But for rapid target acquisition and precision at around 50 yards or less it's amazing. Still had a fist sized group at 100 yards this past weekend, but it's definitely not designed for precision shooting at that distance. I believe this item may be an older edition.
