Adjustable Objective, Flip up lense covers, Illuminated Reticle, Mil-dot reticle

Locking turrets; when you losen the turrets with an allen wrench, then tighten them back down they dont always go down straight and will get hung up. It would be better if Leapers made push pull locking turrets like on the BSA Catseye.

Mounted on a Gamo CFX, Great Combo, best 5-shot group was @ 15 yds. with Crosman premiers Wadcutters was .159". This group opened up to about .746" @ 50 yds. though it wasn't ideal conditions. Taken two gray squirrels and a red squirrel. The grays were about 17 yds and the red was about 31 yds all three cleanly anchored with headshots.

Great scope! Looks really cool on a Gamo Socom Tactical and works really great. Very good construction and very well made illumination is a great feature.

Nothing

Great value for the money compared to other scopes!

I liked everything about this scope. The adjustments for up, down, left and right have worked perfectly. I really liked being able to lock them in place. The adj. objective is great.The mildot is nice because trying to tell a child to hold however high is about impossible were as saying put the third dot down on the target is easy. Had my two daughters shooting baseball sized ballons out to sixty yrds.

I would change nothing, But my oldest doughter says the cross hairs are a little thick in low light conditions when they a illuminated even on the lowest setting.

I've got this mounted on a rws 350 mag 22 cal. Have roughly 600 shots through it and have not had any problems.

Pretty clear optics. Reticle batteries included.

Stiff focus. Need of allen wrenches to adjust- I like Centerpoint's system much better. Flip up lens covers are a goofy nuisance- I took them off. Even at low setting, the reticle illumination is too bright.

I gave up trying to reset zero. It would change my settings in spite of both index mark showing, PLUS extra turns out. Maybe it has a defect...

Great scope. Very clear optics and solid feel. Once it is dialed in it never moves.

Battey life is very short.

great scope good quality. very clear optics i like the locking turets my rws 34 tends to shift the zero on other scopes the AO adjustment is nice and easy like the mildot and illuminated rectil

if the elevation and windage adjustment click was a bit more crisp but whatever its fine

for 70 bucks this is a steal great scope

EVERYTHING about the scope it self

Lens caps

The lens caps get in the way when you try to focus . Would be better if they did not flip . Replace with solid caps or a scope sock .

Size, reticle, quality construction. This thing is tuff.

AO is little tuff to turn other than that, nothing

The adjustment knobs on this scope take a little bit to learn but once you do they work great don't let them get you frustrated they work well.

I love to use the green reticle at dusk, also has alot of internal adjustment. Another nice touch was including two batteries for it. It has locks on the reticle adjustment that prevents it from loosing the zero once sighted in and locked down, that's a big problem with scopes on spring guns.

Throw the dust caps away.

This is the second one I've had, my RWS 54 shook the first one apart, the reticle adjustments quit working. Pyramid's customer service gal was excellent, paid for the shipping and had a new one in a week. If you have a RWS 48/52/54 buy the UTG scope base and save the headache's for something else.

the clarity of this scope was unbelievible and the sun shade with the flip open lens covers gave the scope a sporty look!

scope caps are cheap and fall off due to recoil

with stands recoil from heavy airguns i mounted mine on an remington summit which by the way isnt the best airgun in the world but the scope gave the airgun acuracy the airgun didn't have before by far the best scope i have used yet no problems an over all great scope i highly recomend it to buyers!!!

Adjustable AO, DUAL-illuminated recticle, Locking/Resetable Zero on windage & elevation, flip-up lens caps, well, everything about this scope!

Not buying one sooner.

I put this on my Big Cat 1200. I love it. Little bit of an eye-relief problem only because I'm a tall, slender fellow with mile-long arms. I used a one-piece UTG mount with the scope slid forward far as I can & I need a bit more but I can still fire comfortably with the right positioning & stance. A scope stop behind the one-piece mount would move it forward the right amount. To use the shadow-tube you have to mount the scope back too far for comfortable eye-relief so you can still break the barrel for loading. None of this is bad to the point of unsatisfaction, just my own personal experience & preferences.

everything. good solid scope. its a very clear scope the paralax and magnification adjustment is very nice. i really like the zero lock thing because my rws 34 panther can change the zero. the turets are very nicely adujstable they have clear adjustments

the covers are a little hard to get on and off but its not that big of a deal.

very nice scope the red/green illumination is nice for low light situations.

Very nice build quality and the optics are sharp. A nice touch to have the illuminated reticles when the sun goes down. I use mine on a B26 .22 caliber and no problems with a one piece 4-bolt mount. Pyramyd Air delivered quickly.

I would move the parallax adjustment to the turret like on the Accu-Shot series scopes. Much more ergonomic. Also, it is stiff to turn. Maybe over time it will loosen but in cold weather its stiff.

The lens covers may get in the way if you are constantly adjusting your parallax. Another reason why to move it to the turret. This should be de facto for all AO scopes.

This is a great scope. Clear as any I've seen and holds it's zero perfectly. I plan to buy another one to replace my 2x7 BSA soon because IMUO there's now comparison between the two. It's hard to believe it was so inexpensive for this kind of quality.

No, I think it's the perfect scope.

Just try it. I think you'll be as amazed as I was. Great scope.

Love the Parallax Setting. 6 shots and I had a nice dime grouping of the last three. Gamo Hunter 220 1k fps using predator poly mag .177 pellets. Very clear and bright optics. It's a keeper.

Change the scope covers to fit on a mid rise mount, otherwise you'll need a high rise mount as the objective lens fits mid rise only if you take the objective cover off. Currently I'm using the following mount: Leapers Accushot 1-Pc Mount w/1" Rings, 3/8" Dovetail with a baggie over the objective lens (high tech lol). But the scope but can't sit any lower on the barrel which I like. I'll need to find a screw in objective cap or bikini cover.

The parallax setting is changed by rotating the objective lens. It is not one of the three center knobs (darn). And while the scope is range estimating, the math you have to do in your head is daunting and in meters.

Quality of this scope for the money is very good. All parts are well machined and smooth. Reticle is bright and is multicolored. Windage and Elevation are very easy to adjust. Dust caps are a neat touch.

Nothing that I can think of.

Make sure that you by rings made by Leapers. They are of better quality.

Great Scope for the money. I love the choice between the red and green reticles, makes it really useful in different lighting conditions.

Get rid of the Scope covers, they are useless

If your looking for a nice scope at a fair price then this scope is for you. Be sure to use with a single piece mount like the Leapers one piece mount, it locks down and does not move when shooting.

AN AO scope with RG illuminated reticle, range finding mil dot, better than just good optics for $70 is just plain impressive. The quality of this scopes construction is also outstanding for the price.

My mind about Leapers products over all.

Keep Leapers in mind when outfitting all your firearms needs. This stuff is a great value and Pyramyd's staff recommended it to me. Thanks.

This is a very good scope for the investment. I am amazed at the sight picture at dusk and in other low light situations. I own two now, and in both cases, the scope has more capability than the gun.

I personally don't care for the flip up dust covers, but they are easily removed. My latest purchase of this scope is a bit disappointing in that the overall quality of the second scope does not match that of the one I purchased earlier in the year. The windage and elevation adjustments are more difficult to use and the very precise click that I hear with scope no. one is missing in scope no. two. Perhaps I got a friday or a monday model.

I am a big fan of this scope and probably will purchase another when I get my next air rifle. Now that I have properly adjusted the scope and have found three different pellets thas shoot well in my air toy, it's deadly accurate

Decent quality, features and appearance. Optics are good and clear.

Turret adjustment/locking mechanism is a little flaky. I hope I don't need to use very often. I could do with out the "flip" lens covers. I was talked out of a "high" profile mount by my sales rep. The one she sold me may work with a 40mm scope, but not one with these lens covers. Had to send it back for the "high" one.

Mounted on a Gamo Big Cat 1200, which tore up the "throw away" scope that came with the gun. After about 700 rounds, this scope sees straight and true. I think the Leapers one-piece mount has a lot to do with the excellent performance I've had so far.
