kinda looks good too.

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

Hello, I put a 6x18 sweet 17 on my savage 17hmr, and use it for shooting sage rats and it performs incredible, in fact im going to replace my Leupold 3x9 on my target 22lr with a 6x18 sweet 22 asap! the 3x9 is going on my 270.
Very good scopes for a small caliber shooter. with good prices to boot, the new models have a side focus for the objective which is a little easy than reaching up and turning the whole objective.

They are great if you love crosshairs that move. The sweet series has a very bad reputation. BSA tried to pack to much into a low cost package.
I got one, the Sweet 17, lost zero after about 3 shots, no it was not my rings or mounts, they did not change from my previous scope, and I checked them multiple times. Sent it back to BSA, got another, did the same, sent it back, got another, DID THE SAME. Sent it back, got another and sold it then purchased a good scope. The only scope I ever had that was worse was a simmons 8 point.
There is low cost, then there is cheap. Bushnell Banner is far superior in lens quality and reliability rating, Simmons white tail classic is another that is good.

Better
Stay
Away
Never, ever let Creed hold you baby, it will ruin it and you will have to get another.
