Leapers Accushot 4-16x56AO Rifle Scope Reviews

Clarity of optics. Re-centering adjustment knobs. Reasonably forgiving eye relief for power and aperture. Easy of eyepiece focusing.

Range estimating in stead of the Mil-Dot reticle

I returned a 4-16x56mm Hawke Eclispe 30 as it was very fussy with regards to eye postion. This actually has a better fit and finish than the Hawke and it was far less money. I didn't do a side-by-side comparison since I'd already returned the Hawke but this seems to be be a better scope at considerably less money.

Great looks..!, sidewinder is the way to go..!! Cheap...!!!!, great value..!

It had a chip on the finish, but is almost invisible.

The 100mm sidewheel is too big and gets in the way of left side magazine rifles, get the 80mm.

Outstanding scope, this is the best rifle scope I have ever used. Great scope for the price.

Not a thing!!!!

I havent had it long but so far i like it. not a lot to dislike its is just a real nice scope. Gives me a nice big target, easy to focas

not much it is pretty darn good just as it is

Very nice quality. Love the AO side wheel. Works very well on my Marauder ... mounted with Leapers Medium Scope mounts; it sits very close to barrel, just the way I like it.

Nothing.

An awesome scope for the money. If you haven't tried one, these new generation scopes these are bright and loaded with features. I'm using one of these on my HW98 and I couldn't be happier with it. I like it better than my 6-24 Sidewinder on my AA MPR... I plan to replace that with one of these. These range-find well with the optional side wheel and the calibration on the wheel is accurate. I like how this scope's focus "snaps" into a sharp image.

Add $10 to the price and Include the side wheel.

Mounted on a Hemmerli 850 in .22 modded by Roald, with B-Square high mounts and fits just fine, low over the bore. I added an 80 mm swat wheel which clears the loading port with room to spare. The wheel is the way to go, easy adjusting and accurate once you clamp it on. One of the clearest scopes I own, which include Leupolds ! No distortion from low range to high and the mil-dots a positive addition.

Nothing

Buy this scope, you won't be disappointed. I shot it at 50 yards and could watch the pellets hit the target ! (1 1/4" groups) At age 70 I need all the help I can get.

I love the optics, the abundant functions available, ease of use, and the solid construction. I was expecting the sunshade to be a cheap push on, but it is a metal screw on! Very nice.

The lens cover designs are not the best at all, especially the rear. On both Leapers scopes I own the rear it the most problematic as your are trying to view through it. On this scope I found it hard to get it to stay on when trying to "flip-open" the lens cap. It would just fall off as it is not tight enough to stay on. However, I don't care as I just remove the whole cap and place it to the side.

Please remember the size of this scope. It is not small by any means! It fits nicely on my Evanix AR6, however I did need the high rings to keep it from hitting the barrel.

Solid construction. Adjuster knobs and AO has good resistence, without being "too" tight. Loaded with features. Optics are great - considering the price. New sunshade attachment works a lot better than the older models. Battery lasts quite a while longer than I expected. Battery compartment is much sleeker than older models, and has a rubber o-ring to keep things dry.

Include the "optional" AO wheel with the scope.

I use this on my Marauder, and it's the perfect scope for someone who wants all the bells and whistles, but can't afford a Leupold. Mount it with medium accushot scope mounts if you want this baby as close to the barrel as possible (without touching - even with sunshade installed). If you want to be able to use lens covers, you'd better get the high mounts. You'll never get them on with the mediums - too close to the barrel. The scope is considerably wider than the Marauder (or pretty much any gun, for that matter). If you like to rest your gun against a tree while hunting in the woods, you'd be smart to leave off the (super-cool) sunshade. It will get in the way. The sunshade also makes it more difficult to fit your gun in a soft case.

The price is unbelievable, and the scope operates nicely. I'm using it for precision shooting on my .22 rimfire, and when dialing the elevation and windage up and down, the scope comes back to original settings nicely (it seems repeatable so far). Great value, and large front element means depth of field is shallow, so it's effective as a rangefinder.

Little fuzzy at higher magnifications (which frankly you'd expect). It's usable at 16x, but not as sharp or clear as my much-more-expensive tactical scope. Wish it had a "come-up" indicator. Also wish it was available with mil-dot adjustments instead of MOA (to go with the mildot reticle).

This is a wonderful scope for the money, though it's very long, and I had a little trouble getting the proper eye relief on my Kimber M82 sporter. A short mounting scope mounting rail on the gun is not any help.

Impressive appearance, especially with 4” sunshade. Bright and sharp image but diminishing above 12 magnification level. Very little chromatic distortion. Precise sidewheel parallax adjustment. Quality, rugged construction. Duplex reticle. Lockable and resettable W/E scales.

Nothing.

Excellent scope for the price. The 56mm objective fits perfectly on the Benjamin Marauder using Accushot Medium Profile mounts (RGPM-30M4) but leaves insufficient space for use of objective lens cap.

It looks great, and the Illuminated Mil-Dot Reticle lights up on the mil dots only...This is much much clearer than my Leapers 3-9x40 Illuminated scope. The quality goes up for the extra dollars it cost, but you won't regret it. Plus this scope has 7 settings for Illumination. I love the e.z.tap. It's well worth the extra money. And yes, I will buy another one for my Diana RWS 350 Mag.

Not a thing...I don't use the caps so I won't complain about them.

I bought this scope for my TX200 MK111 Walnut .22. And wanted a 14" scope. The ad say's it's 14" Long. It's actually 15" Long. (I think PA has changed the Web page by now) But when I opened the box...WOW!!! This is a beautiful scope. I mounted it on my TX200 and it looks GREAT! It hangs over the loading port by 1/2". The 3.5 eye relief is really nice, and gives you a lot more adjustment. I bought the one piece high mount, but I wonder if a two piece mount would give me just a bit more flexibilty with the eye relief. Overall, I'm very happy. Thanks Sandra and Scott of PA for all your help. You will always have my business.

Everthing, This Scope is very clear from lowest power too highest power Settings. Very clean looking Scope like the 41 inch Length. Knob Adjustments are very clean and postive, no play.

Nothing at all. lower the price a little make it more affordable for everyone.

I Like this Scope so much I bought another one.

Full of features that would costs at least 2x the price from other scope companies. Quality is good. Everything works great and I haven't had a problem with scope ever since I purchased it. Add on the sunshade and the scope looks quite menacing.

The scope covers aren't the greatest, they work but are sub-par compared to butler creek scope covers. Easy solution would be to use the scope covers as caps, pull them off when you shoot, and put them back on when you're done.

If you're doing varing distance shooting, definately get the wheels. The side focus works fine but the wheel makes things much easier as fine as more refined.

Everything!!!! I have mine mounted on a Whisper Deluxe that has been turbo Tuned by CharledaTuna. Sharon from Sales was a tremendous help with this order!! It took me a total of about a half hour to mount and sight this scope!! It has been on for about a month with about 1500 pellets through it. I have not needed to re adjust it once!! I hit a Snapple cap from 50 yards consistently. VERY clear optics, simple to adjust, awesome reticle shape, switches for illumination are unique and perform perfectly!!! For the money, the scope can' t be beat!!!

Scope caps, little cheap looking.

Make sure you get the correct mount for your particular gun. I was told I needed an adjustable, low mount for $60. It turned out an Accushot high, one piece, for $14 did the trick perfectly!! Thanks Sharon!!!!

Clarity and features exceeds the price of this scope. The illumination, zoom, construction, TAP feature and side wheel are all user friendly. You need not change your grip when aquiring a target, just simply use your thumb or your fingers to reach the sidewheel and pull the trigger. Light weight for its class and quality fit and finish as well as ruggedness. The W/E adjusters will blow you away on how easy it is to adjust on the fly when the target is moving. You need no tools to do/adjust zeroing.

Flip top caps quality makes this scope look cheap (get them made elswhere please Leapers folks). Please make better ones or dont include them. The scopes you make are way better quality than the covers you include.

I use this to hunt and it never fails. Zeroing this scope is a breeze on any distance due to the no tools needed, jjust flick the lock ring on the W/E. I have the big brother 8-32X56 mounted on my TX200 mk3 .177 cal for FT/hunting as well. Get a one piece mount it works well.
