Page 5 - Leapers Golden Image 3-9x32AO Rifle Reviews

this is a very nice clear and well made scope for the price. stays very clear when zooming in, and the MI-DOT is very helpful for those long shots

for the price, nothing

Clear optics, mili dot reference.

It would be nice to have illuminated mil dot, but for the price what can be expected.

Nothing. Just keep in mind the price. You are not getting a Ford 450 four door 4x4 super diesel truck at a Yogo price. You are getting, actually, more than what you are paying for, but less bells and goodies.

No frills. Small . 6 yard focus. Mil-Dot.

Nothing.

Great no frills scope. Perfect for hunting. Mounted on .22 Panther and has held up with no zeroing problem so far. Fired off a tin first day. Two tins first week. Has decent glass and is pretty clear at full magnification. Mil-dots allow alternate aim points. AO is a couple of yards off but works.

Low cost as scopes go.

Better flip caps (tighter fitting with more resistance on opening.

Being into firearms and dealing with some very expensive glass I wasnt expecting much from this scope. I was pleasantly surprised by this low cost alternative. Now if it will stand the test of time....

magnification

I prefer regular lens caps

very difficult to zero in on RWS Diana 34 even with the "Tactical Mount"--reticle adjustment disturbs both vertical and windage settings

Great product! Very clear. This is a better scope than some of the big name big bore rifle scopes!

The flip up cap does not work well when adjust for yardage, I usually end up taking it off.

No worries, it is worth every penny. You will be surprised at your bang for the buck factor on this scope.

Fit this on my RWS Panther and absolutely love it !! I got sick of just using a 4 power scope and wanted something a little more powerful for longer range shooting . Glass is very clear even in low light situations and the parallax settings are very close to the actual yardage !!

The protective covers are junk but the scope is great for what it is priced at so I just used elastic covers I had from another scope !!

Positive click adjustments that don't require a tool to zero with and this scope will take a beating on high powered springers and keep it's zero. Very good scope for the money !!

Easy to sight , Clear sight picture , seems well made

nothing

This is a very well made , easy to use , and accurate scope ....especialy for the VERY low price !

Great price.. The features are great. This Leapers is well built and the light capture is superb. The 3-9 power is a good middle ground. the A.O. works excellent, especially since this has only a 32mm Diameter objective. The finger grips on the elevation and wind-age makes for easy adjustments. It holds the POI without any wandering. The mil-dot is great for adjusting for different projectiles and distances with out having to adjust the elevation.

Lens caps. Especially for the A.O. feature that requires turning the objective lens, which invites losing/breaking this lens cap. Also including a sun shade and 11 mm ring mounts would be nice.

I have shot over 3500 pellets using co2 powered air guns in a month using Leapers scopes on my air guns. My air guns have minimal recoil and I expect to shoot thousands of pellets with these combo's. I have 3 Crosman 1077 semi-auto 4.5mm air rifles. I use medium height accu-shot rings, the objective housing just clears the rear sight of the Crosman 1077. At 5 meters my 12 shot groups are covered by a dime. I also own a RWS 4.5mm Magnum 850, co2 air riffle and that''s an 8 shot, bolt action repeater.. This Leaper scope A.O. will focus from (4 meters to infinity). Very convenient for home shooting in winter. Lots of fun, with precision, ease of use and it''s super convenient to be able to shoot at home. I use 'RWS Supper-H-Point' pellets, and also 'Gamo Match Diablo wadcutter pellets'. My low powered co2 air guns do not have power to expand hollow-points however the RWS 850 Magnum with medium power does. I find for accuracy the 'RWS Super-H-Points weighing 7.2 grains' and the 'Gamo Match Diablos weighing 7.71 grains' are the most consistent.of 7 different pellets I've tried. I find their 0.5 grains of weight difference and shooting different distances, allows using the mil-dot reticle rather than readjusting elevation with my Leapers scope. This Leapers mil-dot feature is very nice. As Pyramyd Air and, Mr. Tom Gaylord emphasizes, "USE THE CORRECT PELLET". I also own 3 Leapers 4x32 scopes, which are excellent, but I find having the 3-9 power allows more accuracy as I'm able to see pellet entry point through the scope, This adds to more consistency because there's less time taken to see where the pellet hit for follow up shots. Enjoy your hobby and be safe.

Fit & finish on scope is of high quality. Optically, it is also precise.

With all the negative flap re. the scope covers, and I agree with all, why hasn't Leapers done some R&R to correct it? I use an elastic set off another scope and put the ones that came with this scope in file 13.

3x9 power is OK for 10 meters( I shoot indoors during winter), but I much prefer seeing the target up close, which is what you get with 16-24 power scopes.

EVERYTHING

NOTHING

leapers scopes are of the utmost quality. i bought this model for my crosman 2260. loved it so much i have purchased 18 scopes ALL LEAPERS and put them on every weapon i own, from my .22 rimfire to my .50 bmg. and the real kicker, i broke 2 luepold scopes on my 50 bmg ( costed me $2300 for both). bought 1 8-32x56 SWAT and it has held accurate for over 1000 shots.

very clear picture, solid construction, 3-9 power, paralax adjustment, accurate range estimating AO, takes recoil of a spring rifle well.

the lens covers are poorly built, the pins that hold the cover to the rubber frame come out after it has been opened a number of times, the adjutsment knobs are plastic rectangles that rotate and are made out of plastic, they have a groove for a screw driver, if your not careful the screw driver will shred them apart, it would be nice if they were metal.

i put this scope on a low velocity winchester spring airgun (490 FPS), on that gun the elevation adjustment doesent go low enough to be sighted in properly (the barrel may be bent) but since its a mildot scope you can use one of the dots on the crosshairs as your aimpoint. this is a great scope for the money and i highly recomend it if your on a low budget or just want it for plinking.

Clear optics, easy to adjust, nice range on the magnification levels

This is my 2nd Leapers scope, and the lens covers do not stay on on either model. Screw on lens covers (like BSA) or elastic covers would be more suitable. When you adjust the objective the front lens cover gets in the way. Not a big deal but a bit annoying

The scope does what it promises for a reasonable price

Clear lenses, AO, mil-dot reticle and easy to adjust.

Nothing.

Great first scope. Where one should really start when buying a scope. This one really sets the standard. Best scope for the money.

Brianag618; Great scope, mounted on brand new3 Diana RWS 34 Rifle, along with a Gamo Scope Stop. No scope creap, holds adjustments, plenty of room to sight in and make adjustments for a crystal clear view of your target.

Diffrent type of lens covers, I take them off when shooting, front cover has problem clearing rear sight when Sun Shade is mounted.

Take your time making adjustments, get to know the scope, and you will be very happy with this one.

This is a great scope for the price and has become one of my favorites over others that cost almost twice the price. It has all the same features, is light-weight and easy to use. This is the scope I now purchase for every new rifle I get.

As mentioned by others, the flip up covers aren't too practical for this model. Simple elastic covers would be preferred, but for the price I really don't mind - I just remove the front cover when I'm using it and lightly place it back on when not in use.

If you're looking for something that's packed with good features and is lightweight, this is a great scope. The weight is what initially sold itself to me, as I couldn't find another 3-9x32 AO scope that weighed under 1lb close to this price.

very good finish quality, excellent optics, solid construction and great features for a budget scope!!

first, the flip-up lens caps...they really cause more problems than they solve, especially on an AO scope. Better internal reflection control, this scope has noticeable flare when shooting into bright light, I suspect the exposed spring visible when you look into the optical array from the front may contribute to this problem? The plastic lugs on the adjustment turrets are a bit chintzy too.

Hard to complain about a $45 scope with all the features and performance that this one offers. If you want an inexpensive scope that offers performance that would have cost several hundred dollars just a few years ago, then this one delivers!

Scope is very clear and sharp. Repeatabilty on the the knob adjustments is very precise. The mil dots are nice for alternate aiming points for different ranges. The AO yardage markings are very close to correct.

Nothing.

Have this scope mounted on a Diana 54 with an accushot 1 piece mount with the recoil stop pin in the Diana scope rail (no locktite used). Seems to be a very good rig, nothing has moved in the last 1400 shots.
