Page 4 - UTG 3-9x40 AO Rifle Scope Reviews

I like almost everything about this scope. It has all of the features you need and then some. The optics are really excellent. I have paid a lot more money for other scopes that are not any better than this one. I haven't really needed the illuminated reticle yet but it is still a neat feature.

Adjusting knobs could be a little smoother but they are OK.

Don't spend more for a scope with the same features as this one. It's a great value for the money. You'll see.

Looks very good. The illuminated reticles are great when targeting a dark object in low light. The optics are good and clear. Nice scope for the money.

The flip cap is a little awkward when adjusting the objective but I can always remove it if I don't want to deal with it. The locks on the adjustments work well but can be a little touchy locking back down and it would be nice to be able to adjust them with locking. I haven't tried this but they seem pretty loose if you don't lock them.

I have only shot about 150 rounds with the scope but it hasn't shifted POI yet and seems solid. I'm shooting the Gamo Varmint Hunter air rifle and it is taking the abuse so far. I don't think you can beat it considering the price.

Good reticle stability. Nice clear optics, even when you consider it cost $70. I like the illuminated reticle, especially in lower light conditions. The mil-dot isn't bad either, just need to learn how to use it.

Gid rid of the flip len covers. Any scope that does not have a side focus(parallax) knob, should not have flip covers. Any time you have to adjust reticle focus, or objective fcus, alot with an air rifle, you have to pull them off, and re-adjust.

Good airgun scope. I put it on an RWS 460 Magnum, hits anything up to 45 yards, very nice. It rates much higher than my Bushnell Sportsman for $75.

SO FAR, I like everything about the scope. All the dials and controls operate without dificulties. I had no problems loosening or tightening the allen head locks. Light transmission is excellent even as the sun goes down. The price is unbelievable for a scope designed to withstand the abuse of magnum air rifles. I am now able to "kill" water filled pop cans out to 85 meters from the standing position. I hold over about 4 dots depending on the pellet type.

The scope caps could possibly use stronger springs to help keep them off of the lenses after opening. Especially when tracking moving targets.

This scope was mounted on a RWS model 350 in 22 caliber. I hope this "Glass" will continue to handle the stout recoil of this air rifle. I removed the lens caps and used a neoprene scope cover for protection when the air rifle is not in use. I simply pull off the cover when I need to engage in long range pest control operations. I have thus far not had a need to use the reticle illumination feature for hunting, but for short range plinking it is excellent in the lowest brightness setting.

love the mildot, I use it on rws 460

scope covers need to be move every tin you adjust th ao

great value fo the mone

Very bright and clear optics. The mil dot reticle provides more aim points for shooting at longer distances. In low light the illuminated reticle provides a lot of contrast making it much easier to find your mark.

Locking the turrets by tightening the screw sometimes offsets the zero.

Make sure you use high mounts or you most likely will have problems. Be very careful when locking the turrets so you don't lose your zero.

- Mildot reticle enables you to estimate the range of the target. - Reticle is thin enough for very precise shot placement, for low light situations just pop up the illuminated reticle, a low brightness setting is recommenced and more than suitable. - Love the turret targets

good clear optics. Good solid features all around.

Lens covers were shot in a month. The pins kept falling out.

I started this scope out on a Henry lever action 22WMR for the first year. This is a gun I have in the back of the truck bouncing around all the time. In lieu of something faster on my Henry I put this scope on my 50cal. CVA muzzleloader. I shot over a hundred rounds just the day I went out to sight it in. Since then I have shot several more hunderd. I hold about a 2 1/2 in. group at 100yds on good days. This scope has given me far more than I ever expected for the price I gave for it. If you want a cheap scope you can beat around and still have it work like a champ this is it. I'll be getting another leapers scope real soon and hope it is everything this one is.

i liked the overall design of this scope, has alot of nice features. but as we all know all the features in the world arent worth anything if the main function of a product doesnt work.

probably stronger or longer springs in the erector tube housing.

i went through 4 of these scopes, all with the exact same problems... problems both tom gaylord and leapers claim should have never occured. every shot i would take with my crosman phantom air rifle would cause the reticle to move inside the scope, resulting in 4 inch 3 shot groupes at 10 yeards. tried everything possible to fix this problem without voiding the warenty, even took a few tips and suggestions from BB. in the blog section of this website, nothing worked. these problems are most likly due to a bad batch of scopes sent to pyramyd air but im not going to take my chances, im going with the centerpoint scope that has all the same specs for the same price
