Things I liked:

Everything about this side wheel is a must for serious shooters. It was designed to stay on the scope for ease of operation so leave it attached and with the thumb and pointing finger, you can adjust the wheel without changing your stance for quick target acquisition on any yardage. Looks intimidating when attached.

Things I would have changed:

It should come as a standard on scopes that need it. Sharp grooves/rubber inserts to ease the adjustment with gloves on. Maybe make it lighter is the only thing I can think of. It is already light so it may improve but not much.

What others should know:

Leave it attached on the gun to maximize the ergonomics, once you use it you wont go without it. The installation needs to be evenly done so take you time to achieve a perfect wheel revolution. Do not over tighten the screws. Memorize the settings and how many clicks you need to compensate and you will hit more targets period. I use to write mine down but I know it by heart now and it just got a lot more fun to shoot my TX200 MK3, I have it on both calibers and will not go without it.

By Christopher from USA on 2012-08-28 18:32:58

Things I liked:

Not much to like. The markings on the sidewheel don't match those on the scope dial. At least they don't on the UTG 4-16X44 scope I bought at the same time. But the smaller 80 mm sidewheel, Leapers #SCP-SW080B, that you can get on ebay, fits much better looks, much better and the numbers match up with those on the above scope. Will this sidewheel work with the scope? Yes, but the smaller one works better.

Things I would have changed:

Make the numbers match.

    Things I liked:

    Fits the UTG SWAT scopes perfectly. Easy to use on the side wheel parallax adjustment. The width of the side wheel allows easy use of a strip of tape to mark precise locations for given yardages.

    Things I would have changed:

    Would be nice if UTG made a next size up wheel, either 120mm or 140mm. Other than that the 100mm size works very well and as a bonus they are not expensive.

    What others should know:

    The addition of a side wheel for parallax adjustment makes it easy to use a thumb tip to adjust parallax to get a distance to target. Dial in perfect target focus at your highest scope magnification, note the yardage number on the side wheel and adjust your elevation for a hit or holdover appropriately for a hit. Side wheels are very helpful for accurate airgun shooting, especially for field target shooting.

    Things I liked:

    Fits the scope it made for very nicely. Definitely a plus for EZ tuning. Yes its wobbly do to the 2 small 1/4 set screws use to lock it in place. I replaced the 1/4 to a 1/2 To give it more stability and it works a lot better.

    Things I would have changed:

    The set screws are to short at a1/4 . I replaced mine to a 1/2 inch length and no wobble

    What others should know:

    Great buy

    Things I liked:

    I bought this to fit to an Athlon Argos. Its easy to do with an exact knife. I have done this for two Athlons.

    Things I would have changed:

    Nothing.

    What others should know:

    You need to put white '35' tape on the wheel to make your own distance markings on this wheel. The markings on this wheel are reversed from the Athlon scope, but you need to make your own markings anyway.

    Things I liked:

    This wheel will fit the Centerpoint side focus series of scopes, however installation is difficult. Add a few drops of oil on the foam insert and force it on. This how I installed four of these wheels on my scopes and I am very happy with the results. The UTG wheel is extremely nice. I only wish they would make more patterns.

    Things I would have changed:

    Make a foam insert especially for the Centerpoint scopes. They would sell a lot more of them.

    What others should know:

    Great craftsmanship and a polished look and feel.

    Things I liked:

    Love this sidewheel have the 60 mm on my other swat scope wish I would have bought this one then. I have this on my UTG 10x and it makes it buttery smooth

    Things I would have changed:

    Mounting is a little sloppy moves around easily.

    What others should know:

    This is a must have on a side adjustable scope.

    Things I liked:

    This side wheel is very well made and is a good value for the price. I bought one to put on a non-UTG scope and I had to adapt the rubber insert by making it larger inside diameter, by using my Dremel Tool. Once I sanded away some of the rubber to make it fit my side focus dial, it was a simple matter to tighten the two small grub screws that hold it very securely.

    Things I would have changed:

    One thing UTG should do is leave off the numbers and line markers because they are not going to line up to any ranges. All of us FT shooters that use our scopes for range finding put a piece of tape over these numbers anyway, and then mark our own ranges on the tape with fine marker. It would also be nice if UTG included a few various sizes of rubber inserts, so it would fit right on other brands of scopes side focus dials besides theirs...they would sell more of them in the long run.

    What others should know:

    In general UTG offers quality products for a very affordable price. I have been well pleased by all of their scope accessories.

    Things I liked:

    It's well made. It truly makes it easier to make parallax adjustments, while keeping your eye on your target.

    Things I would have changed:

    this 100mm model is too large, I believe. I think the 80mm model is a better choice.

    What others should know:

    this is an important addition to a large scope. I feel that you should look for the 80mm model, though.

    It makes so much easier to focus the image, that I believe it should always come with the scope

    Things I would have changed:

    Nothing to change except the price. It should be a little cheaper.

    If you have a compatible scope you should definitely get one of these. Its extremely convenient and easy to use.

    Will fit CENTERPOINT scopes as well. Lightly tighten the set screws for the wheel or you will damage the adjustment cap and the adjustment device. A must for all side wheel scopes.
