Bear Creek Arsenal is a value-priced ARs, firearms, and components maker. But it isn’t as well known as some other value-priced brands like Palmetto State Armory. What’s surprising to many more is Bear Creek Arsenal also sells branded rifle scopes and red dots. But more surprising to me is that they make a low-priced 30x scope.




The BCA SSCP is a 5-30x scope with a Christmas Tree reticle but in SFP which means the reticle doesn’t change size or thickness when changing the magnification. This means the ranging marks are only shown accurately when using it at 30x (without using mental math) but it also means the reticle is visually prominent and usable at 5x. For many hunters, this is a desirable trade-off.
Given its low price, there will be compromises. The turret numbers do not line up to the witness mark. Optically, it has a tight eye box and noticeable chromatic aberration. The image gets milky and dark at 24-30x.
For hunters looking for more magnification than a typical 4-16x scope but with a very tight budget the SSCP is a scope to consider. For someone interested in getting into long-range shooting on a shoestring, the optical limitations may be frustrating.
