I'm looking for recommendations for a budget optic for a BA-50.

Looking for something magnified that can hold a zero and take the recoil.

Tasco Super Sniper. My M95 has worn a 16x since '02 or '03. Has held up really well. Always returns to its 200 yd zero.

I've got a Vortex for the lowly price of $900 if you're interested.

Haha! I WISH 900$ was in my budget category.

You're killing me. I just went to go look and found out they haven't been made in a decade...

They are made under the SWFA name now and are still made in Japan.  I just looked and they have several different models in stock.

Awesome! I am thinking the 10x is what I want as I don't have HUGE long distances I will be shooting.

Recommendations on mounts? I am putting it on a BA-50. That SWFA SSALT is looking nice for 60$.

It's called the SWFA Super Sniper. Tasco stopped production and SWFA picked it up.
Oops. Already covered.

I got MOA simply because everything else I own is MOA.

I have a SWFA on my Armalite.  While I don't have a ton of rounds through it, no issues at all.

I have an SWFA on my PSL.  It's a fairly violent rifle and holds zero just fine.  I use Burris extreme tactical mounts on my 50 and love them.

I have a 4-24 Strike eagle on my m82. Eurooptic has them on clearance around $350ish. Have 2 identical ones on other rifles. Pretty damn stout scopes.
