Page 3 - UTG 3-9x50 AO Rifle Scope Reviews

Ability to hold it's zero even on high powered springers such as the Webley Patriot (aka Beeman Kodiak), Webley Tomahak and the Air Arms Pro Elite. These rifles have broken many of my scopes including some very expensive ones.

Should have the screw in lens cover rather than the plastic flip up covers that sometimes won't stay secure.

For the money they can't be beat. You won't be disappointed.

Great field of view and easy to adjust!! I had it mounted on my HW90 which seems to fit very nicely.

Nothing

I used a one piece high mount and am glad I did since there is less than a 1/4" clearance between the end and the main receiver.

This is a great scope for the money. I have had major difficulties sighting in the scope because I was using pellets that were not providing any accuracy. After switching to heavier pellets, this is no longer a problem. I called Pyramyd Air and they recommended three different brands of pellets for the Gamo Varmint Hunter. I purchased the pellets they recommended and now I am getting the accuracy I need.

When one has to adjust the objective, the flip cap gets in the way. It is not a major concern, more an annoyance.

When adjusted and resetting zero on the scope, one person mentioned having to move the knob a little to get it to go down all the way. I have ran into the same thing, but moving the knob every so slightly to get to lock down is not going to throw the scope off that much if any. The one thing I am finding with airguns(me being new to them) is that the way a person holds the gun to fire it makes all the difference in accuracy. This has been a learning curve for me.

Just got it today. Put it on my Gamo Shadow 1000 .177 cal. It looks cool. it is almost too big for the gun but that is the look I was going for. I really like the illuminated reticle, very cool and makes it easier to see in low light.

The size. It is so long I had to completely remove the rear fiber optic site. other wise it would not fit on the gun. Also my gun came with a scope stop, had to remove that too. other then that it is great. I just hope that the scope does not creep back with out the stop. I got the one piece High mount from leapers it seems to be really sturdy, we'll see.

I will have to take it to the rife range once the weather is better and get it zeroed in. After that I look forward to many hours of great shooting.

This scope is AWSOME! I put it on my gamo big cat and sighted it in within 10 rounds of pro magnums. Its much easier to see the target with the variable magnification when I'm trying to shoot at 50 meters.

I had trouble locking the elevation knob. It wouldn't lock on the exact adjustment

This is a big and bulky scope. It adds some considerable weight to your gun but it is worth it.

Very sharp and easy to zero. Focuses well and the mildot is a great addition. Stands up flawlessly to heavy airgun recoil. The illuminated reticle is very bright but completely unnecessary.

The illuminated reticle is totally pointless. It is almost so bright it blocks out the target. Also the adjustable objective focus is EXTREMELY hard to use.

Overall this is a great scope and worth every penny. It can withstand the heavy recoil of magnum rifles with no issues at all. Ive used it on both an RWS 48 and an RWS 350 clone and it hasnt moved at all.

very clear, like the reticle,easy to zero

flip up caps, using the allen wrench to make adjustments

I like the one piece construction that makes it waterproof. The locking turrets are great and really help. The illuminated reticle is very bright and can barely be seen through the other end of the scope. I also like the sunshade and the flip-open lens covers. The lens covers work really well and help keep your lenses clean.

The only thing I would have changed is to make the illuminated reticle have a lower light setting.

This is a great substitute for getting a $3,000 Swarovski or Leupold scope. For only $70, the price is great and is hard to beat. When mounted right, the scope is very easy to zero in and will make your gun so much more fun to shoot.

every thing in this scope

just nothig

great fore hunting, or targets shooters, and this scope is one of the most best scope of leapars !!

The scope looks great when mounted on any rifle, good zoom feature and clear view as well.

The zero locking feature is annoying since the knobs were very tight and took a long time to loosen up.

Value for money! Nice workmanship. It really can hold true zero when properly sighted in and mounted with the accushot high mount.

I noticed some chromatic aberration at 9X but tolerable. I think Leapers should try to find another way of locking the true-zero of the turrets aside from using an allen screw driver since it is really annoying. When you want to adjust the turrets settings in the field (minor adjustments) you have to find a place and a secure location to set the turrets for adjustments. If you don't want to lock your settings then it's just fine. The lens caps must go! on a break barrel springer they just come off! Also you can't properly adjust the objecitive lens (at the front) with the lens cap on.

for its price it's really a good buy! You can really use the max magnification even at 5 yards! Great for indoor shooting where space is limited. The way Leapers and Pyramidair shipped and packed the items are really top quality! I don't have a problem buying another item from Pyramidair anytime.

I like the flip open covers, and the red/green illuminated reticles. Also that the adjustments can be locked in place after you've sighted in. Very clear and sharp scope. Adjustable objective goes down to a very short distance which is a plus.

Nothing.

EVERTHING...This scope makes my Gamo Big Cat look lethal.Can`t beat the price for this thing...TERRIFIC!!!!Thank You PYRAMYDAIR.I will be buying another!

The flip up caps on mine do sometime pop of due to the recoil of my gun.I would have rather just had standard lens covers.But not a problem.

This scope is huge.If you use the sun shade it may not work well on all break barrels because the length of the scope will interfer with the loading process of the gun.And yes it does come with a sun shade.Don`t buy an extra like I did.However when you put 2 sunshades together on this scope it looks even bigger and cooler.

I love the wonderful construction of this lens. I can't believe that Leapers can make such a gorgeous scope like this for the money they ask. I see great benefits with the Red and Green reticle choices at dusk. Took me five minutes to zero on my MM-B26. It was just little high and to the right. After it was zero'd I put 3 pellets in the same hole at 25 yards benched.

I would make the parallax adjustment easier to turn with one hand in the shooting position. At least a deep knurl would be nicer.

Fantaxtically clear image and bright. Other than the stiff parallax adjustment ring I like this lens. Use high mount rings for this.

Very bright picture

not much bigger mill-dots

I loved this scoped i had it since april-june now the elevation knob is prob broken don't know i might of played around with it too much now i might have to get a new scope if anything i might get this one again

I like most of the features of this scope,and it looks really good.

It sucks how you lock-down the windage and elevations adjustment by holding your fingers down on them and screwing at the same time. Plus it always gets cocked when locking down.... very time consuming/awkward.

very well made,looks great,i don't have a problem with my lens covers popping up,but i don't like how you lock down the adjustment period.

I've been doing a lot of low-light shooting with this (on my Talon SS). The red/green choice has been very useful. Turret adjustments are nice.

Flip-up lens cover are a pain to use in conjunction with the AO. A previous review suggested using dustcaps. I agree

To date this is the best scope I've ever used. I'm completely sold on the 50mm objective, and will have a hard time using anything smaller in the future (for hunting, anyway).

This scope is amazing, especially for the money! It's big, it's clear, having AO is worth every cent. This thing has held it's zero even after 200+ shots.

The flip up covers have to be removed to adjust AO, would rather just have dust caps on the end then fancy flip ups.

Buy one!

Just about everything.-- The lighted Red / Green Reticle with variable intensity works well with my older eyes! It makes it possible to add color contrast to the Reticle vs the target and makes it much easier for my weak eyes to distinguish the target's hit point

The locks for the Elevation and Windage require an Allen Wrench and some care is required to decide just how far to loosen the Allen Screw. Loosen it too much and the know free wheels (for zeroing your dial numbers). If your don't loosen it enough it is still locked and a heavy hand could strip the assembly--be careful and don't force the knobs!!

If used with a Diana Model 48, it would be advisable to use the ACUSHOT RGWM-25H4 , 1" Weaver Rings coupled with the UTG MNT-DN460 Rail , which is a heavy duty positive locking rail that adapts the 11mm Diana rail to accept the heavy duty Weaver mounting rings.

Can't easily beat the value. After shooting my rifle, my AG friends were pretty impressed with the scope's performance and the light transmission of the 50mms, especially after I told them what it cost me. Anyway, the scope is plenty good enough to de-neck Heineken bottles out to 100 yards.

Wasn't particularly impressed with the tension springs on the flip-up lens covers. They lasted two shooting sessions. No biggie considering the price performance ratio this scope offers.

Overall I like the scope and would buy the same model again.However I would have liked them better with more sturdy lens caps.
