Page 4 - Leapers 5th Gen 4-16x50AO Rifle Reviews

I was looking for a long time for a quality scope for my RWS Diana 34. This is it. I have a Nikon Prostaff on my 708 deer rifle, and this is comparable to that scope as far a optic quality goes. The mil-dots are very nice. They enable me to know that " If I am zeroed at 35 yds, aim 2 mildots high at 45 yds on 14X power", ect. VERY NICE! Instead of just guessing, "maybe an inch high?", I can know, which is great for hunting, when you are not at fixed yardages as in target shooting. The extra magnification is great for shooting starlings and blackbirds in my field at long range. This scope holds zero amazing. Just buy quality mounts and rail. And the illuminated reticle is a plus when shooting against a dark background at dusk.

nothing

buy it

All the adjustments make it possilbe to dial in clarity at any distance. Clear optics. Glowing reticle (red or green) helps with accuracy. Great scope at any price and an incredible value for the money. I mounted it on a high end RWS and at ten meters on a rest, no matter how many shots I make, it is one hole....sometimes the hole can grow to the size of a nickle if it is 20 or 30 rounds but this scope has really allowed me to see just accurate my gun can be.

It is pretty big. It would be nice of the lit reticle would auto-shut-off after a period of time as I often forget to shut it off.

I wrote pyrimid air for there scope suggestion for my gun. They gave me the info. for the correct rings and rail and this was their scope suggestion. I couldn't be more pleased. I paid less than half the money of a high end scope I have on another air rifle and this one is better.

this is a very hot scope

Great power, bright, smooth adjustments. Crosshairs remain zeroed when changing the AO settings, haven't tested for when changing the magnification.

Red illumination is way too bright even on lowest setting. Green is fine, however. The locking turrets are a bit of a hassle since you probably are going to carry the required allen wrench around with you. I would have preferred screw on caps to prevent accidentally changing the settings like I did when I reached down to change illumination after I had already gotten everything nice and zeroed but not locked down :-(

I'm using this on a Talon SS and it is a great match with the Leapers Accushot 1-Pc Mount w/1" Rings, 3/8" Dovetail. I have plenty of elevation adjustment which I have heard can sometimes be an issue with Talons. I'm really enjoying the brightness and mag (I pretty much leave it set at 12x). The AO is great and makes for a poor man's rangefinder of sorts.

This scope has alot of the features you would expect from a high end scope at a reasonable price. It has a clear field of view and simple to use features.

If I where to change anything on the scope I would add a little lube to its moving parts, they seem a bit rough to me. And a better paint job.

Do not over tighten lock downs and the sun shade gets in the way on my barrel breaker air rifle.

The price is right. It took awhile to get it sighted in....but now I can hit a dime from 50' every shot.

Lighter, clearer image at higher magnifications. Water-proof, fog-proof and coated lenses would be nice.

A 4-16x50 air gun scope for only $80....I put mine on a RWS 34 .22cal

Durability and clarity - This scope has survived nearly 1,500 rounds through my RWS 48 and it still works great. I like the mil-dot reticle for holdover and the objective focus for range finding. It is a great scope for high recoil air rifles!

It would be nice if the eyepiece lense coating was a little better (Light reflection can be a slight problem), but I can live with it for this price range!

RWS 48 produces a lot of recoil. Mine has destroyed 4 other scopes.

Like the way the scope feels. Feels real solid and is an awesome scope that stays on zero.

Can't think of a thing.

Great value for what you get ! An awesome scope at a great price.

I like all the features that the scope comes with, that's why I chose it in the first place. The turrets are very nice and readable and they stay in place as expected. The Mil-dot reticle helps a lot at estimating the distance to target (at 10x magnitication, btw). The reticle illumination is useful for some dark backgrounds (woods, shade).

The parallax adjustment could be a little better aligned because it doesn't match 100% the marking on the objective. The picture isn't exactly sharp over 10x magnification but that's to be expected from a scope of this class. For my next scope, I'll get one with side-wheel parallax adjustment but that's just my personal preference.

If you're looking for a decent scope for under $100, it is possible. But don't expect too much. Though, a plum at 180 yards is a piece of cake. :-)

The features are great on this scope! You get the total package and the scope comes with the 3" sunshade. The ease of operation and fact it will stand up to a medium/magnum springer is a real plus. Lifetime warranty is a real plus!

Nothing.

Great for springers to PCP's!

Value. Quality. Zero stays put, even getting knocked around on my multi-pump.

The reticle is a touch too bright, even on the lowest green setting. The red illumination is VERY bright, but I'll bet there's a use for it somewhere. The locking w/e adjustments are nice, but plan on bringing an allen wrench with you in case you ever need to adjust it. The scope caps are cheap-ish, but not too bad. I have noticed a bit of ghosting at 16x power, but it's nothing that would interfere with placing the shot.

I've got this on accushot low profile weaver rings that sit upon the air venturi picatinny rail intermount for my benjamin 392. I also have mounted the BSA Varmint laser, spotlight combo on the scope. I can tell you this is one sweet setup. Regardless of the light or weather, I have a wide range of options for illumination. The scope so far seems to stay dead on zero, even when I remount the scope after storage. I really like this reticle. It's right in between fine and medium thickness. Overall I have been extremely pleased with this purchase. And kudos to PyramydAir, their salespeople are very courteous, knowledgable, and helpful. I really haven't found a better online store for airguns and accessories

Huge lens, Price, Illuminated reticle, Sturdy construction

Shorten the scope a few inches, but thats what the compact models are for, refine the w/e adjustment turrets

This is a big scope. It barely fits on my Gamo Shadow 1000. It has about a 1/2" clearance from the breech. The scope is not too heavy, at about a pound and a half. I was able to zero it in about 5 minutes. This is one of the best deals you can get on a quality scope with these specs. The scope comes with everything you need, cleaning cloth, sun shade, flip open lens caps, wrench for locking turrets, and instructions. All you need is a mount. If your on a budget, I suggest the accushot 1" high profile mount for 20$, which is what I use, but you can opt for a more expensive mount if you feel it nesscesary. MEASURE YOUR GUN FIRST!

This is a very nice quality scope at a very good price!!! Built solid with many useful features and accessories. Works well in dim light conditions. Specific features for field target, hunting and range use.

If you enjoy hunting then this scope would should definitely be considered. I feel I saved a lot of money by buying this scope. Has the same quality and features as seen on much more expensive lines. I love this scope!!!!!!!!
