UTG 2-7x32 Handgun Scope, Ill. Reviews

compact size, but mostly clarity. a pretty nice scope for the money. this really helped me to tighten my groups.

nothing

I am using this scope on a Evanex rexP pistol. I am definitely pleased with my purchase.

This is my first dedicated handgun scope, but I have numerous rifle scopes. The construction and materials seem very good quality. The view through the lenses is clear and bright, even in low-light evening conditions. The turrets have very positive clicks, and the scope seems to be holding zero quite well. It is mounted on my HW44, so I can't address recoil issues.

The manual is designed to describe many if not all types of UTG scopes. For me, a first time handgun scope user, that was a bit confusing, as this scope does NOT function like most rifle scopes. It would be nice to have a manual specific to this scope.

When I read that the eye relief was 13.8"-25", I thought that meant I would have a clear full view of the target at any magnification, 2-7x, as long as my eye was anywhere between 13.8"-25" behind the scope, allowing me to shoot straight arm or with a bench bag. That is not what it means. When the scope is set at 2x, the eye relief is about 25". When the scope is set at 7x, the eye relief is about 13.8". The eye relief changes with the magnification proportionately. Unlike a rifle scope, ther the cheek weld, once properly set, allows the eye to easily find the eye relief and exit pupil, the handgun scope can require a bit of head movement to get a proper sight picture. With practice, I'm sure I will get used to this. If you want the scope to be sharp at less than 20 yards, you will need to set the magnification to 2x. It says the parallax is set for 35 yards, and at 7x that distance and beyond it is sharp. The adjustment for the rear lens adjusts the sharpness of the reticule.

Lots of features, lighted reticle, clear imaging.

Build so it will stand up to use on a pistol.

Mine failed to magnify after 10 shots mounted on my Diana LP-8 spring piston pistol. It would never hold a zero and I was constantly adjusting the wind age and elevation before I finally figured out it belongs in the garbage.

This scope features very clear glass. It is light enough to go on many air gun pistols and while it might not make much sense, the lighter the pistol the better. This allows you to fully extend the pistol to get the full reticle focus the scope has to offer. at 25 to 30 yards it quite accurate with respect to being on point with hitting targets.

There is really nothing to change about this scope. It has the ability to change eye relief to suit it user. However this does expose the scope threads so, I would think some kind of shrouding might be a nice touch to protect the threads. I am using camouflage taping to protect my extended threading.

my overall rating on this product was a 4 because it took me several days to figure out how to use the scope properly. So, had some instructions been provide some tips on how to best use the scope, I would have felt more incline to provide a higher rating. Also, this is not a really heavy scope so it should work really good on lighter weight pellet pistols. Units like Hatsan are far to heavy already for a pellet pistol so I would just recommend using a rifle scope for these types. You are not gong to go wrong with this scope of you pair it correctly. Again, the lighter the pellet pistol the greater the arm extension which gets you better shot precision.

Clear viewing I like the ability to vary the power setting

Set up with dove mounts which are more common on airguns

You made a good purchase

nothing

do not buy

junk

Clear optics and 2to 7 power. Just right for a pistol.

Difficult to obtain and keep a full view.

For its application its an excellent scope. I also can not begin to say enough about Leapers customer service.

Add some kind of assist lever to the power ring. Almost impossible to turn with arthritic fingers

Purchased scope for my FX Ranchero. Had a Leapers 1.25-4x32 on it but wanted that on my Ataman AP16, another story in its self. placed pistol in gun vice mounted rings and scope using my personal balldrivers and torqued everything down with a torque wrench. Placed bore sighter down the barrel opened up the little white envelop that comes with the scope and no little allen wrench to lock down the elevation and windage turrets. That was okay because I did have one. I always keep it in one of those little zip lock bags with the pistol's fill prob in my pistol case; however I did need another one for my other pistol case. Emailed Leapers and five days later a little white envelop appeared in my mail box with a little allen wrench in it. The customer service at Leapers is simply AWESOME.

Easy to mount on my pistol. Couple shots to zero. Holds zero perfectly. Nice reticle and glass.

Do not suggest for less than ten yds. Red dot maybe a better choice at that distance.

Hitting a quarter sized target with a pistol at 50 yds. Enough said ! Great choice for the money.

The clarity is unbelievable. The red and green lighting for the cross hairs really comes in handy. The 2x7 a.o. makes the scope more like a rifle scope. it is kind of like getting two scopes in one. Zero holds where it is set.

Nothing

I mounted the scope on my Marauder Woods Walker using Leapers Accushot 1" Rings 9.5-11.5mm Dovetail. Plenty of room for the mags. With this scope a person could shoot the wings off a fly at 45 yrds lol. Accuracy is spot on.
