Hey...I know its a cheap scope but im not wanting to pay alot for a scope at this time.  Do you guys think the BSA Panther 6.5-20x44 would look stupid on a Bushmaster M4 14.5" bbl?  This scope is 16" long.  It would be mounted on the flat top with a riser.  Im kinda thinking who cares if it looks stupid...at least ill be able to see but wanted to see what you guys thought...Thanks!

Pass.  Save your money and get something better than a BSA.  You'll probably spend more money in the long run if your not happy with the BSA and spend more money on another scope.

BSA is barely passable on a .22 or pellet gun so save up and get something better

Get one of the cheap Leupolds at Wall World for around $200 instead.

Why worry so much about how it looks?

Cheap equals unreliable and  poor quality. Cheap equals poor tracking and repeatability with the reticle and the adjustments. Cheap equals backlash causing problems trying to achieve a zero and keeping the zero for more then 20 rds. Cheap equals the price yoo pay will be added on to the goos scope you will buy later when you replace this one.

If your happy with cheap why are you looking for validation on how it will look from a bunch of strangers you don't know off the internet.....

And yes, you will look like a tard with this big ass scope on a Carbine.....
