Old BSA Optics
I just recently acquired one of the old BSA 3x scopes with the adjustments on the mounts. I originally got it to compliment a MkII BSA Meteor I got off here a couple of months ago. Unfortunately the mounts are not big enough to fit on the rifle's dovetails so, for now, I've put it on a Webley Hawk MkI just to see if it works. I got it zeroed today at about 10m, and the optics on these really are as bad as I've heard. They make my old Webley 4x15 look like a Swarovski I can certainly see why not many survived, they must have been thrown away in their hundreds.
When were these scopes made, and what would have been the earliest Meteor they would have fitted? MkIII or MkIV maybe?
The next question therefore has to be, did BSA actually make/sell a scope to fit the wide dovetails on the MKII Meteor?
The South of England has 2 good things, the M1 and the A1. Both will take you to Yorkshire.
