Refurbs

Some refurbished scopes are ok..but steer clear of the refurbished BSAs...especially for a larger caliber. 17-220 Swift 243 may be ok. I do have one of the refurb Nikons and it seems to be OK. But it's on a 223. I actually sell some of the BSA refurbs at gun shows and always tell the buyer for light calibers only. Now to let you know...some of the Cabela's scopes(Pine Ridge??) are actually BSA made. I have one of their 3-12 scopes on a Remington 700 in 243. Worked fine so far.
