BSA-Falcon menace 6×24
I could not pass it up I bought a BSA 6×24 FFP through midway. Installed tonight and love it so far. Glass is clear parallax is great and I love the redical. My thoughts were to use this till I can save for a SWFA but I think I may keep this one till it lets me down. Used chairgun and holdover on the mill dots/crosses are dead on shot out to 175 yards tonight. Some people think this is a falcon menace that BSA put together for midway the redical and scope look identical to the falcon menace.

Cricket great question, and I came up with an assumption. My fear with the fixed power was close range hunting. When hunting reds in the woods I often have chipmunks come in 10 yards or less. When this happens my fear was that 16x was overkill. Having the ability to switch to 6x seemed very important to me at the time. Keep in mind the cheep scope I was using did not have parallax adjustment so basing my purchase off this scope may have been a mistake. Something I have learned in the process is that a FFP scope at min power the mill dots are next to worthless because they are so small.
What SWFA were you saving up to? A fixed SWFA is 300…

In short the scope is a huge improvement over the Kronus I started with. It does seem a bit large and heavy but it does weigh less than the sidewinder 30 and the SWFA FFP. My groups at 100 are awesome now I will keep punching paper until I am ready to hunt with it and keep you informed.
