Things I liked:

Looks good and worked well ....till it did'nt.

Things I would have changed:

It broke.

What others should know:

Worked well for about 400 rounds in RWS 34 p. I just took it out back to target shoot and the second round the sight got blurry. Could not correct it. It now rattles. Something inside the magnification end has let go. One week old and now I have to deal with RMA. Fortunately bought it here at Pyramid.

    Things I liked:

    Great scope with lots of usefull features. Gives a clear picture throughout the zoomrange. Had mine setup on my hatsan bt65 and sighted within 30 mins.

    Things I would have changed:

    Hate the flip covers. I only use them for storage.

    What others should know:

    Unlike most cheaper scopes without zoom you really have to get your eye in line with the scope to see clearly. This can be a challenge for novice users. My scope came with high mounts. No need to order them seperatelly like I did.

    Things I liked:

    Nice and clear. Great value

    Things I would have changed:

    An option of what rings you need. The scope came with weaver rings and I needed dovetail which I had to buy and now I have weaver rings which I don't need. I may need them later but I would have preferred to buy them when I need them.

    What others should know:

    This is a great all around scope. I have it mounted on my RWS Diana which is my utility all purpose gun. I shoot consistent groups all day long

    Things I liked:

    The lockable adjustments are great. Reasonable weight. Focuses well from 10-100 yards. Very well priced.

    Things I would have changed:

    The flip up covers are a waste and a bit of a hassle. The illumination is not a great feature. Even at lowest settings it's too bright and destroys your low light vision and just covers up the target.

    What others should know:

    Works really well up to about 12x. The extra magnification beyond that is hard to use because the field of vision is so narrow, and any misalignment with your eye blacks out the image. The mount is for 1". I ordered a 1 piece 3/8 inch dovetail mount to use instead of the rings that came with it.

    Things I liked:

    Very clear optics...nice mil-dot reticle. The W/E adjustments are easy to change but the locking wheels keep setting from moveing. Locks nicely onto my Weaver rail.

    Things I would have changed:

    Nothing

    What others should know:

    Seems to be holding up well on my Hatsan 125 .22 Sniper NP rifle.

  • Rating 5.05.0 5.0

    Rating 5.05.0 5.0

    Things I liked:

    Almost everything: Illumination, turrets, zoom, and mainly solid construction. I have this mounted on my .25 Marauder and so far it is excellent.

    Things I would have changed:

    Ship with dovetail, and 11 mm rings as well. Possibly have a see-through lens cover.

    What others should know:

    I recommend any aftermarket scope for any high powered air rifle! Spring, CO2, PCP, Multi or single pump pneumatic. Lower powered airguns work great with cheap scopes. However anything with heavy movement will usually shock a cheap scope out of zero or change it's position. Most scopes that come with air rifles lose zero or move in my experience. UTG is so far a great brand, Not a bad place to start, get one if you can!

    Things I liked:

    Ease of sighting it in !! After three diferent shipments of mounts !! It takes the 1 inch high for my Big Cat.

    Things I would have changed:

    Make the dust covers easyer to remove ! Or just change them to the caps with bands between them !!

    What others should know:

    Works fine without the Battery installed !

    Things I liked:

    This is a pretty accurate scope, and I like the adjustment turrets,looks good and operates as advertised.Stays on target without having to readjust every so many shots.

    Things I would have changed:

    A longer A.O. end to block the sunlight this scope picks up allot of glare, make the tube stronger it is very easy to pinch. Improve the optics.

    What others should know:

    I will stick with centerpoint.

    Things I liked:

    Nice solid scope with features of a high power rifle scope

    What others should know:

    I tried to mouth this on my Gamo Bone Collector and the Picatinny rail I bought with this scope will not mount on this gun. I had to buy the one piece scope mount to make it work. I have yet to get this gun zeroed but that is for another review about the gun

    Things I liked:

    The size and the ability to have a scope that will enhance targets from near to far with GREAT accuracy. Great scope.

    Things I would have changed:

    Nothing

    What others should know:

    I tried it on two break barrel rifles which could not be zeroed. I had to get an adapter with +10" in order to sight it in. One of the guns was a Crosman Nitro. the other was a Beeman dual cal. both in .22 cal. With the adapter I could no longer use it on the Nitro due to the mount for the scope as it mounts with a dovetail mount.

    Things I liked:

    This price is great for this scope. Very easy to sight in- I really like to the turret locks- always confident the settings weren't bumped from last use.

    Things I would have changed:

    The Illuminated cross hairs aren't really required in my mind, but still a nice feature-and for the price of the scope.

    What others should know:

    Hard to use the scope above about 10-12X, your eye has to be in exactly the right are to see full scope picture. nice upgrade from the Centerpoint scope that came with my NPSS 22
