UTG 4-16x40 AO Rifle Scope Reviews

crystal clear,

the cover over the parallax adjustment is just plain stupid unless you shoot at the same distance all the time.

great scope

I like the clarity at all levels of magnification. The illuminated cross hairs are nice, but the cross hairs have an illuminated ring around them. This may bother some people, but not me. I find it easier to acquire my target faster with the illuminated ring around the cross-hairs. This scope is well built, it should last for years. I mounted it on my Kral Puncher Breaker in 25 caliber. I like the location of the red-green illumination on/off buttons, and that it has three levels of brightness.

I would change the way that the sunshield mounts to the objective lens of the scope. I received the optional UTG sunshield as a gift, and with it installed, the parallax adjustment cannot be rotated. Either make the threaded portion of the sunshade a little longer or make the internal threads on the objective lens a little less deep. This is the only complaint I have with this scope.

This is a great scope overall, it is very well built and the adjustments are very positive. The red/green illuminated cross-hairs are nice and clear, and the scope takes a very common battery, a 2032 button battery. The only problem I has with this scope was with the attachment of the optional sunshield, which I did not need, even in bright sunlight. Definately buy this scope, it is one of the best ones I have used for under $100.00

I felt that this scope was the most accurate of the scopes I owned, so it deserved a spot on my RWS Diana 460. It was deadly accurate for getting rid of ground hogs. However, this review is mostly about service. This year the scope needed to be re-centered and the windage adjustment wasn't working. There was no clicking sound when I turned the knob. I went to Pyramyd Air looking for a replacement and saw that Leapers scopes had lifetime warranty. I went on line and filled in the warranty form. Within hours I received an email with an RMA number & instructions to return it. The person I worked with was Ryan Brown and he was very flexible. I sent the scope in and it was fixed & returned in about a week. Mr. Brown explained the problem (loose turret locking screw) and sent me instructions on how to check for the problem and fix it complete with a picture.

Include information.in the manual to detect loose turret screws and how to tighten them.

Kudos to Pyramyd Air as well. I purchased the scope over 5 years ago and their order history only included the last 2 years. I sent a request for a copy of the invoice for this scope and they identified it based on my description (no model number was on the scope) and sent me a copy of the invoice. Overall, this has been a good experience and I will not hesitate to buy another Leapers scope.

Incredibly accurate scope for the price. I installed it on a .25 Hatsan Flashpup QE. After zeroing it in, I haven't had to do anything with it for the last 5 months. I shoot with it nearly every day. Nice clarity. At 70 yards and at rest, nearly impossible to miss. Getting 1/2" groupings on a consistent basis. I have no complaints at all using this scope.

Nothing I can think of for now...

If you are purchasing the 25 Hatsan Flashpup QE, you may want to consider using this scope.

It is durable.

Lessen bulk and weight, change the mil-dots out and put a duplex or other cross hair not blocking out field of view or target or things to side of target. The lens system inside the goliath tube is a bit misleading to the scope's exit pupil--it is hard to find the exact place to put your eye.

I dislike all "air gun" scopes and use only centerfire or rimfire scopes. Other strict air gunners have hordes of "air rated" scopes - and enjoy them.

Non much

Needs more elevation adjustment.

I wouldn't buy another.

good scope for the money

nothing

I have bought two of these scopes. A good value for the money. Zeroed my .25 Marauder at 20 yards and hit small game anywhere between 20 and 50 yards with no adjustment. The green and red illuminated feature works great and does make a difference in low light conditions. Also comes with a spare battery.

Nothing

One of the better scopes for the money. I have had no issues with mine.

So far the scope is working great on the crosman Quest 22cal. This gun is putting out 20fpe. The scope is holding zero and very clear. About 300 shots through the gun.

Nothing. It was a better scope than the one that came with the gun and was not too expensive.

I had to shim medium rings to keep the objective bell off the gun. The lense cap will still not fit. So get high rings if mounting to 3/8 dovetail.

Clear, lots of mil dots, easy illumination adjustments

This is a great scope for the money. I paired this scope with my Umarex Gauntlet. They came in a combo. The scope is clear and has a paralax setting that actually helps you to find the yardage on your target when you are using the higher powers. The illumination is nice.

One thing that I don't like is that the illumination is visible around the edges as you look through the scope. I like to look through an illuminated scope and not see the source of the illumination source. It is really not that significant however.

I think that for the price this scope is sweet, pairs well with air rifles.

This scope was recommended by Pyramyd for the RWS 54. The scope works very well and like the mil dots when compensating for wind. I didn't install the battery for the EZ-TAP because I don't really need it for the type of shooting I do. Focus works very well thru out the different distances. I get a good crisp sight picture.

Would like to see finer/thinner lines in the reticle.

I've tried several different scopes and the Leapers is the only one that has held zero. A heavy scope so I'm sure it's beefed up internally to handle the recoil of the 54. Wish I had started with this scope would have saved a lot of head scratching.

price

more field of view

This thing is the cats meow. Love it, got it with a bundle deal whenever I bought my Gaunlet have only used it out to about 35 yards. Came with rubber dust covers.

Nothing really the thing does what its supposed to

Easy to see mill dots. Illuminated cross hairs.

Dead on after 4 months and 4,000 pellets through my Umarex Gauntlet PCP. Impressive results at 20 and 40 yards. I have not gone further. Clear and easy to use.

Removable hood is useless if you are changing distances. Not sure what would replace it.

This is a PCP rifle with virtually no recoil. However, I have a 30mm of this scope on my Benjamin Mayhem which is a scope killer. It has been on that gun the same amount of time and is still on target. I cannot say it is perfect there because the gun itself has had issues, as has the owner ;) However, that has the same amount of pellets through it, or close to it. I love the challenge of the magnum springer but the accuracy of the PCP. Both are dolefully in use with these scopes. I anticipate the one on the Gauntlet to outlast the springer by many times.

Love the colors in reticle, can change for light conditions. Great value planning on getting another for centerfire rifle.

Nothing, seem great on my umarex gauntlet. Wish it had 1/8" click adjustments for use on my savage 243 win. rifle.

Be sure to check turret locks

Every thing

Nothing

Make sure you buy ring so you can attach rifle with gun

quality quality quality utg leapers great.

none

1 in high rise rings should come with

got this scope in a package from pa it is great thank you pa

not a thing

if you are just starting in air gunning take a good look at packaged guns

So far everything I've run accross with this scope is meeting all my needs. I've only had a short while and I've mounted it on the Walther Terrus that it came with as well as my Diana AM03 .22 cal. It's very adaptable and has no problem with the higher power and recoil of the Diana.

Nothing so far

Very good quality on an entry level optic. All aspects of the scope work great.
