Page 7 - UTG 30mm Red/Green Dot Sight Reviews

Red and green dots that actually vary in size and brightness, a good, solid mount that stays put. So far, it has held "zero". Only needs one battery and two were supplied. Very good battery life.

The rear lens cover obstructs the adjustment knob. Just rotate the cover out of the way.

I put one of these on a Ruger Airhawk and liked it. I bought another and put it on a Ruger MarkIII .22 firearm. It is a solid, reliable sight.

Best deal on any scope at any price. Not only is it a red dot but you have plenty of view to use your fixed sights with the dot off also if one gets out of zero you can tune it to the other quickly without firing a shot but guess what If the Falcon hunter .25 cal cant knock you off zero nothing can this was my last chance for this gun it rips scopes apart and it dont give a damn how much you pay for em

TY Pyramyd ait this scopes worth 100 .00 and comes with 2 batteries and weaver rings

Get one for any magnum gun pistol or rifle its fabulous made extremely well

The best quality and best price anywhere T.Y. Pyramyd Air

NADA

Larger lense easy and quick target recognition all metal except lense covers .this is a excellent sight at any price very accurate holds zero. Will go well with any gun. I put it on the Benjamin trail NP and its great for quick shots.

Feel like I stole it for $29.00 very well made compares to much more expensive dot sights..T.Y. Pyramyd Air

Nothing... except these wont last long at this price and I would like another one

Works great on my Benjamin NP .22 easy to zero. The online manual said to sight in the direction of the dot not the shot. It zeros just like any other scope by dialing it to the direction you want the pellet to move to. Took me seven shots but that was because I was following directions at first.Will not fit a dovetail, only the weaver style mount.This scope would work very well on any firearm even centerfire or rimfire, it held up to the falcon hunter, in .25 cal but I wanted to keep that one with open sights. They eat scopes with time I know first hand and they are very accurate with open sights, yes I bought the walther from P Air its a steal

red and green dot 5 brightness settings. ease of mounting. flip-up lens covers looks great on gun! others dont see the dot.

nothing.

great value. well made unit. simple to mount stays tight!

This is a cool little sight! I really like the adjustment. 5 levels of brightness in either red or green. I put one on an Umarex Steel Storm and it made it a tack driver! I have so far only used the lowest brightness on red and the battery seems to be lasting real well. I've left it on a couple time, once for half a day. I expected the battery to be dead. Much to my surprize, it was still real strong. I also like how easy the lens covers can be removed. I leave them off as long as the gun is in the house or I am just shooting in the back yard. I really like this little bugger!

Can't think of anything...

The literature says the green light takes more juice, that is why I use the red. You get an extra batterywith it. Oh yeah... Pyramyd #1 !!!

Red/Green dot, easy install/operation, good value for price

Nothing

Like a previous review stated, it's not an ideal scope for the EBOS due to the lens covers, but it still works.

This dot scope is a great value. The scope is parralax free as far as I'm concerned. For my eyes the lowest green setting is great for aimed shots on my EBOS, red for full auto and brightly lit outdoors shooting as it's easier to spot. The quick attatch / detatch knobs made instalation a breez without the use of tools. Clear optics and fairly sharp dot on lowest setting. Flip up lense covers are great but they go vertical blocking your vision above the scope when shooting with both eyes open. Goes from red to green in two click turns of the turret. Great price for what it does. Looks cool? Wonder if it could hold up on a real fire arm like a shotgun. Hmm.

Make the lens covers stay parallel with the tube when in the open possition. Stock risers to clear the high sites of the Umarex EBOS. The overly large front post and dot on the Leapers co witness nicely, but I prefer a larger field of view so I detatched the rear site on the EBOS (useless anyways) improving the view greatly. Stronger battery life. All the gripes above aren't deal killers again because the value for your money if they changed all the above it would cost an arm and a leg.

I wanted a red dot scope to install on a CO2 bb machine gun known for poor sights and less than stellar accuracy. This makes the EBOS alot more fun and easier to hit with than without. It would make a high quality air rifle quite easier to use if not deadlier. If using on the EBOS you will have to unscrew the rear sight unit as the open sights together will not allow the covers to function due to insufficient rail space.

I bought this scope because it was full metal and would add some weight to my Powerline 5170... It has done that and more! Some people would say that if you move you head the red dot stays on the target. It does not move if you move your head. I love the 5 brightness settings and the red/green dot reticule.

The dot is not as crisp as I'd like it... However my shooting eye is not perfect. To my right eye the dot gets crisper but still my right eye isn't the best either.

The threads for the battery compartment, windage, and elevation are extremely thin. You MUST be careful while taking the covers for them on and off or you'll strop the thread.

This or any red dot sight sure helps pin point and know what I'm aiming at.

Adjusting the elevation screw required moving or closing the rear eye piece cover. Wish it would open no further than vertical rather than leaning against the elevation adjustment. Not a big deal once adjustments are done obviously.

A very good value for a red dot sight

I use it for my desert eagle, very good combo, it's durable and very sturdy, good accuracy, really nice product.

none

You won't be dissappointed, great buy!

outside of the scope is full metal, very easy to adjust, red dot is very sharp and clear, Also has green dot , stuff like that. also, it has five brightness settings for each color. This is a very good quality scope.

Make the dot just a tiny bit bigger.

in my opinion,getting a $30 scope is a bit pricey, but When I got this and tried it out, It was worth the money I paid for it.

everything....I got this sight for my Drozd also got a UTG 11mm to Weaver Adapter so the red dot sight would clear the front sight of the Drozd. I like that it has both red and green settings. All in all its a very nice and simple sight. I only had it for about a month but so far so good. It also feels like it is made of good quality.

nothing

well worth it. I think its better then any other sight for 30$

I use this site on my M14 rifle and the combo is awsome. I can use it for sniping and CQB

make a two times magnifacation version

buy this

This is a well constructed red and green dot sight. I like the flip open lens covers as they are pretty durable and don't ever fall off. The optics are bright and clear. Both the red and green dots are crisp and sharp when used outside on the lower power settings. When a power of 5 is used for both colors, the dot starts to get oval shaped but is certainly not a problem to use. When I use it inside, it works well also. I like that the forward screw on the mount is set lower so that it really locks into the rail and won't kick back. I found that this was easy to dial in. I installed it on a modified RWS P5 Magnum springer "handgun" and it really changed the balance of the pistol. As a result, I have had to retrain myself on how to shoot accurately. I am getting better but the problem is with me and not the red dot sight.

I would prefer that the windage and elevation adjustments be external and not covered with caps. I don't like the fine threads that are used on the aluminum caps as they look too easy to strip out. I don't think any of of the other manufactures have external adjustments for windage and elevation either. I would really like to see a 2X magnification option. The Leapers catalog shows that they do make one but I have been unable to find it through any of the distributors.

This is the only red dot sight I have ever purchased and I am very pleased with it. I don't know why, but the BSA red dot scopes seem to be more popular on the pyramyd air website. I guess I don't know what I am missing because this is a very nice sight and was only $30. When I was doing research I got some conflicting information about the size of this. One source on youtube said it was 40mm and the part number does have a "40" in it, but this is definitely a 30mm lens.

I CAN USE IT FOR ALL OF MY RIFLES AND CERTAIN HAND GUNS, ONLY YOU CAN SEE THE DOT, NO ONE ELSE ESPECIALLY A MOVING TARGET.

INSTRUCTIONS [] EASIER TO READ,AND MORE DIAGRAMS ON WORKIN IT, INSTEAD OF TRYING TO DO IT YOUR SELF.

XCELLENT PIECE FOR YOUR FAV RIFLE.

The Red Dot is very bright.

It is very hard to adjust to get to the right position. It says to turn left yet when when trying to adjust it it goes right. As seen in the picture you see a frosted lens however i did not get those. That was one on the main reasons I bought it. One major reason I bought was for the flip lens. One of the flip-covers goes back all the way and does not stay up. To make it look ok i have to push back the one that stays up.

Overall it has its MANY flaws however it does what I paid for it to do. I havent had any problems with it. The batteries DO run out very fast and it cost $8 to buy a new one. I left it on on accident for a while because of the len covers not indicating it was on.
