Leapers Golden Image Red/Green Dot Reviews

Nice tactical style, compact, clear optics, easy adjustment. Sounds good right? So why only 2 stars? The dot is often(not always)not a dot but a oblong double dot. This leaves me having to decide what part of the blob do I put on the target. That's not a problem with large prey, close up, but if I'm trying to get a clean kill (head shot) on a homestead pest at a little longer range, and at night, that IS a problem.

More consistent dot definition.

Red dot sights are awesome for short range guns if you need fast target acquisition as in pest control. I use mine on my Crosman 1377 w/shoulder stock and muzzle light, and it makes a great combo.

Well made, great construction, easy to sight in due to elev & windage adjustments having raised grips for tuning, and sights kept sighted in w/ the covers (unlike my friends scope w/ noncovered adjustable turret style, his 3 year old went and click,click,clicked a turret and he had no idea which one!! While he was getting ready to head out to a shoot with me :) ) I really like the continuous adjusting brightness levels instead of just having a few detents, so you can make it exactly how you want it. Also as always with a 1x mag dot scope quick target acquisition is all so easy. First day out on my Marauder pcp pistol i got 25 birds all from around 35 to 80'. Love the flip up covers coming stock w/ it also!! Great scope!!

I know it's too much to ask but .... quick detach scope rings! :) As for what to change with the scope... Nothing!

came with two sets of rings

dot was blurry.not clear.,did not like put it away,wont use,

don't buy

red and green dots, adjustable brightness

could go dimmer for use at dusk, 1" tube really has field of view of a 1/2 inch tube due to spacer / optics, could use better optic coatings - hard to use in low light or on moving targets due to reflections, poor light transmission, and narrow inner tube.

Appears to be well made although I have not had time to properly site it in.

I would like a light on the outside that would indicate that the red dot was left on. It is easy to forget to turn it off and burn through a battery.

Dots very visible in brite sunlite. Easy to adjust. Compact.

Nothing

This is not a bad choice for the money. There are now fewer birds eating my dog's food.

nice size and appearance

the dot appeared fuzzy to several people - not just my old eyes - and both the red and green dots were far too large for short-range shooting. At 25 yards the dot covered ab area of approximately two inches which made it less accruate to shoot than iron sights. Was not well suited to be used on the Ruger Youth Explorer as suggested by Pyramid Air, as it would require higher scope mounts to see above the non-removable front sights on this rifle. We sent it back for these reasons and lost out on the $10 shipping fee! Bummer!

Be sure to purchase the proper mounts to match the rifle and do not rely on the recommendations by Pyramid Air for particular rifles that this is suited for. Be aware that the dot is too large to be accurate.

Seems well made with bright, small dots giving the option of red or green.

Parallas is set for 100 yards or so making the scope unuseable at air gun ranges. slight movement of the eye moves the point of aim significantly. The factory should adjust the parallax for 20 yards or thereabouts for airgunners.

Don't bother. This scope will give poor accuracy because of parallax, and the parallax setting is not user adjustable.

This is a very well made scope that allows for two mounting applications. I particularly like the red or green DOT light sights for day or night use. The lense covers fit well and are easy to open or close.

Really nothing except to make the red/grn light brighter.

This scope has a 1" tube and when sighting through it, the effect is a narrow tunnel vision to your target. I mounted this scope to my Crossman 357 revolver which has a 11mm dovetail rail. Because this gun breaks open for loading of the ammo clip, you need to mount the scope to the Leaper's Bi-Directional offset dovetail base to allow your finger room to depress the barrell release tab. Accuracy is really increased with this scope.

Nice scope, red and green dot a plus, elevation and windage adjustments make life easy

make it a little smaller. I purchased it to use with the Browning Mag 800 and it was just a 1/4" too long for the pistol, the Mag 800 is a break-barrel and it just caught the edge of the scope when I cocked the pistol

too long for many pistols

solid, clear optics, compact size, no tools needed for adjustment, and includes weaver and 11mm rings!

nothing.

when i first tried the scope i thought the dot was a bit fuzzy looking, turns out the dot seems to focus at a distance (which makes sence because your looking at your target at a distance). i put on my glasses and the dot was sharp and clear. the diming feature is real nice as well.

Brianag618: Very clean lines, easy to mount (Crosman 2300 S & T Models) Adjustments in the Red & Green DOT Lighting nice and not over powering like in some other scopes. Easy to sight in and very accurate at 25 foot slow fire range, also @ 50 foot range. On this pistol, still need to try it on one of my springers to see how it will stand up. I just placed an order for a 2nd one for the Browning MAG 800.

A little tight loading pellets using it on the Crosman 2300 T&S Models, a change in the windage knob (Make it smaller so that fingers and pellets will fit) I would also suggest adding a CENTER Ring or cross Hairs so you know when you are center, then the RED/ GREEN Dot would be perfect.

A great addition if you are not a fan of open BLADE SIGHTS, and rather use a scope. After getting her sighted in, I am hitting 10 for 10 dead ctr at both the 25 slow fire range using the NRA 25 foot slow fire targets even at 50 feet. Just have to make sure your RED/ GREEN DOT are dead ctr of the scope glass, there is NO OTHER Refrence point that you are center. If you fit the target ring into the scope glass circle you have it made. I would strongly recomend to anyone as I stated who likes the use of scopes over open blade sights. This is my first DOT Sight and I can tell you it will not be the last.

adjustable intensity. cant tell you how many times im glad i had this due to dark or light out. easy to sight in. very real heavy duty solid feel. love this sight. have it on my m14

nothing that i can think of. wish it was cheaper but you pay for what u get

sweet deal, great sight

I have #3 of them mounted on a beeman target pistol a 1200 FPS air rifle& one on a 10/22 charger. once sighted in they stay sighted in.For the price they out preform sights costing much more.

Nothing. good sight,good price.

ITS not how much you spend on a scope or how it looks. hitting the target every time is what matters and this scope works very well for me. shoot often,shoot straight, shoot safe TWR

easy to sight in once i figured it out. the elevation is opposite of whats on the knob. took awhile to figure out. small size,accurate,pick up targets well

have the right adjustment labled on the knobs. other than that its great

i bought this to use on my tf97 underlever. it was all over the place and could not figure it out. i put a compact rws 4x on it and it shot fine. contacted PA and they sent me rhe rms number to return it. i decided to try it on my tf78(co2 rifle) and worked great. i believe the scope is recoil sensitive and wouldnt use it on a springer. but im keeping it for my 78

Comes with two sets of mounting rings and is quick to aquire target. SWAT style.

I would like to see this offered with see through mounts so you can have two points of impact and you can have your head a little higher.

The green dot is easy to see with less glow blur than the red is.

This scope/sight holds its accuracy very well. Very easy and quick to sight in. Now I can hit the tops of metal fence posts 30 feet away. And since it came with the 11mm Dovetail Rings, I can put it on my Crosman 1077 Air Gun. Great combo! Gives it more of a "military" look... The flip up covers are nice, too.

Nothing.

Remember to use both eyes since this is a CQB (Close Quarter's Battle [any scope/sight that has 1x magnification]) scope. It's alot easier to use with moving targets.

Its the first red dot scope i have used and it was easy to sight in, took about 10 minutes with my evanix ar6 pistol. Plus it also has a green dot along with the red.

For the price nothing.

Don't forget to use both eyes, with this being my first red dot scope its easy to forget there made for using with both eyes open to find your target faster. Sometime i catch myself closing my left eye like you would on a regular scope.

Recently purchased this scope. Very easy to sight in and holds zero well.

The hinges for the lens covers come loose with several shots.

Very pleased with the scopes performance.
