Frequently Asked Questions
What type of handguns is the BSA 2x20 Pistol Scope compatible with?
The BSA Pistol Scope 2x20 is compatible with virtually any handgun, revolver, or pistol that accepts a standard 1-inch scope ring. This includes popular platforms like the Ruger Super Blackhawk, Thompson/Center Contender, Smith & Wesson revolvers, and many others fitted with a Weaver or Picatinny rail. Always verify your firearm's rail system before purchasing rings.
Why is extended eye relief important for a pistol scope?
Unlike rifle scopes that are mounted close to the eye, pistol scopes are held at arm's length. Extended eye relief — typically ranging from 9 to 26 inches — allows you to maintain a clear, full sight picture from a standard two-handed shooting stance. The BSA 2x20 is specifically engineered with this in mind, preventing the "tunnel vision" or image blackout you'd experience with a conventional rifle scope mounted on a handgun.
Is 2x magnification enough for handgun hunting?
Yes — for the vast majority of handgun hunting scenarios, 2x magnification is highly effective. Most ethical handgun shots on deer, hogs, or varmints occur within 50–100 yards, where 2x provides a noticeably improved sight picture over iron sights without the reduced field of view that higher magnifications can cause. The fixed 2x power also means a simpler, more rugged design with fewer moving parts to fail in the field.
