Hatsan Optima 3-9x40 AO Rifle Reviews

Overall quality for the price. The optics are much better than I expected.

I just bought one of this scopes, but, in this case not from Pyramudair. Mounted it yesterday and started the zeroing process. I mounted the scope on a extra accurate rifle, a Brocock Sniper with a poligonal LW barrel tailored for that specific rifle. So no way to blame the rifle. The scope is able to be zeroed perfectly ank keeps the zero. Captured light is not the one of an expective one (vortex, Element, Leupold, Vortex) but is more than enough for hunting puposes. The 5 point of reference, (4 dots on the reticle and the top of the base line), allow to have reference for shooting up to 120 yards. The light weigh of the scope is very convenient. I was able to adjust the dipters to my eye perfectly toget absolutely clarity on the reticle and the field of vision. If you are lucky, sometimes you can have a perfect funtional and reliable scope for PCP shooting that implies to spend just a fraction of the cost of an expensive scope (that can also have a chance of no work properly)

Scope has adjustable objective and works well. I think that not to have Adjustable Objective is better for hunting puposes. In my oppinion, scope makes should rather work in improving clarity with fixed focus.

If you receive a good one of this scopes it could be a super bargain.

Came with rings, was easy to install.

Quality - very poor on this scope. There is no focus, or it was broken/damaged. Zoom was okay, but clarity was lost.

I returned this scope. When setting it up to initial zero, this scope was not adjustable or or would not keep the adjustments. I would not buy this scope again, or anything in the same line/range.

Nice scope. Fits the Hatsan AT44-10's 11 mm rails like the factory planned!

The bell sits very close to the rear sight, approximately .030" clearance. I'm still making minor adjustments, especially eye relief, so that clearance might open up a bit more in the near future.

Clear vision

Scope which came with rifle was defective, would not adjust correctly

Scope was returned , was sent another after waiting 2 months. Same problem as before. Discarded and bought another brand. Also refused credit for when trying to buy another at a higher price.

Got this in a package deal and was surprised with the quality. I've tried it on a couple different pcp's and it does the job, holds zero ok and the glass is acceptable, especially for the price. I usually just put the free scopes in a drawer and pull them out if I need one to put on a cheap kids gun. But this will do the job for plinking and shooting small critters in the back yard.

For the price, can't really think of anything.

Just remember this was a freebe for a reason, it's cheap. I'd rather see PA or Hatsan just drop the price of the gun. But for someone just buying their first gun, ok, it'll get the job done until they can buy a better scope.

I am actually using this on the rifle. I just tossed the rings that came with it and installed a heavy duty set. It is an ok scope It was free with the gun. It is clear with an ok Reticle. I just wanna see how long it will last. 200 pellets and so far so good.

I not complaining but maybe put an appropriate set of rings with the scope I happened to have a lot of extra scope rings laying around I dont know if I

I do not know if I can recommend buying this scope because it was free with the gun usually when you get a free scope most people throw it away and put a more useful scope on This one is useful to good to throw away

It was free

Best for low recoil air guns.

This scope was free as part of a black friday combo with the Hatsan .30 cal air rifle. Ive put about 100-150 rounds through the gun and this scope is not built for the recoil of this gun. The entire scope will turn in the scope mounts after 5-8 shots in the .30 cal. I've locked down the supplied mount screws and still get scope shift. I've swapped out the scope mounts and still get scope shift. Just popped one of the reticle wires in the scope, which made me come and write this review.

Looks and works just like a more Expensive scope

Nothing !

It won’t fit on a dragon claw 50 Cal

Very good picture; clear, bright. Held it's sight in from PyramydAir during shipment to my home.

This is my first scope with adjustable objective. It will take me some time to get use to. If I had to purchase a scope that had an adjustable objective, I think I would have one with the objective adjuster on the right like some I have seen from PyramydAir scope section. This scope came with the Hatsan Flash QE PCP Air Rifle.

No.

Good little scope for the money (free) with gun purchase!

Ran out of adjustment (vertical) before I could align the gun out to 100 yards

Surprisingly good scope for being cheap.

Nothing, you get what you pay for. I will upgrade eventually but it works fine out to 40yds.

Light, clear image, holds zero, free with my Flash QE .25

A better way to adjust the turrets, you need screwdriver or coin to adjust the windage and elevation.

I got this free but for $80 I think its a good budget friendly mil-dot

Everything. Clear view, easy to zero, holds zero like a rock. Perfect fit to my Hatsan Flash QE which included this scope for free during promotion. Would still have no complaints had I paid full price.

Illuminated reticle would have been nice - but that means a higher selling price for those few times it would prove a benefit.

Excellent value at this price point.

so far so good....got it free with my hatsan .25 flash QE....its bright & clear holds zero and it was free thats why the five star rating

nothing

it is what it is

Great little scope. Clear sight,easy to set up

Nothing

I think this may have been used before I got it. Adjusting turrets were slightly dinged up but still usable

Simple. Easy to zero. Holds zero well. I use it on my PCP, so I don't have much recoil. I liked it so much, I bought one for my inexpensive pumper. I think the scope cost more than the rifle. Turned a cheap plastic rifle into a great small game hunting rifle.

Raised wheel knobs for adjusting elevation and windage. You need long, strong fingernails, or a coin to turn them. Anti fog is so-so. It most certainly fogs when taken from A/C to outside.

This is a good scope. Has held up to my uses and I would not hesitate to purchase again.

Surprising durability, Holds zero.

Not really anything . It is what it is for an inexpensive scope.

I bought this for the AO feature and 4000 or so pellets later it's still functions fine on my Gamo Whisper. It;s not the greatest glass but for the money it's well worth the modest price.

The Hatsan Optima 3-9x40 AO scope came with my Hatsan AT44 Tact QE rifle. I already had another scope that I planned to use on the AT44 so I mounted this scope of my Crosman 1377 with a steel breech, shoulder stock, and 18" barrel that I use for indoor 10 meter in the winter time. It zeroed easily and has held that zero through about a 1000 shots. It appears a little fuzzy to the edge. The AO allows adjusting focus down to 10 yards.

Nothing

I'm not sure that this scope would hold up to a magnum springer. It appears to be perfectly adequate for use on low recoil airguns.

it holds its zero once you set it

nothing

a good scope very clear when adjusted doesnt change zero when you change power
