This scope is part of BSA's Essential series—a range known for balancing cost with functionality, making it an ideal choice for airgun shooters, rimfire users, or centrefire hunters operating at moderate ranges. The 3-9x zoom offers the versatility needed for everything from pest control and plinking to stalking and static hunting.
With its large 50mm objective lens, the scope excels in dawn and dusk conditions, letting more light in for a clearer sight picture. This makes it particularly effective in wooded or shaded environments where other entry-level optics struggle. The Mil-Dot reticle provides accurate aiming points for distance estimation and bullet drop compensation, giving you the edge whether you’re punching paper or taking a humane shot on quarry.
The BSA Essential 3-9x50 is built around a 30mm one-piece tube, offering improved rigidity and enhanced light transmission compared to 1" tubes. Fully multi-coated lenses provide bright and clear visuals across the magnification range, while the robust exterior construction ensures shock resistance during recoil and harsh transport. The scope is fog-resistant and weatherproof, ready for real-world field use in British weather conditions.
For shooters who prefer simplicity and durability over added electronics, this model’s non-illuminated Mil-Dot reticle offers a clean and uncluttered sight picture—especially helpful when shooting in bright daylight or when battery-free reliability is key. Its 1/4 MOA click adjustments allow you to dial in your zero with confidence, and its performance exceeds expectations at this price point.
Whether you’re topping a spring-powered air rifle, a .22LR for rabbits, or even a stalking rifle for deer management, the BSA Essential 3-9x50 scope gives you all the essentials without compromise.
