I had one once, in fact it may be still in my bits box I'll have a rummage tomorrow. as I recall I fitted it to an Osprey but its mounts couldn't handle the recoil. Probably more suited to a pistol. A poor mans Single Point.
Found today. Leaflet says 1978. Fun thing that needs to be on a BSA methinks.

Looked very similar in principle to the Webley Speedpoints (For the Webley collector : they are still available very cheaply here : https://www.pellpax.co.uk/optics/spo...eed-point/1040) - but actually from the picture below they aren't...
Those were made by Normark the makers of the original Singlepoint - I wonder if the BSA's were made by them as well?

Ghostly image but not bad at say 25-30 yds once my eyes/brain worked out where to look.
Sold mine with a BSA Buccaneer .22.
Plinking good fun. Build quality and sight picture were adiquate, all a lot of fun but best to kicking the tin cans.
Someone found a box load a few years back and was selling pretty cheaply. Now demanding a little more. For a novelty sight well worth having in the collection rather than another iron sight or 4x32 scope.
That's actually quite different to the Single & Speed points which are both occluded eye gunsights...not what I expected from the diagram - thanks for posting that..interesting
The "lense" is two part. The chamfered front end is fixed by grub screw and can be rotated to gather more light in artificial/poor conditions. Clever methinks.
