Page 2 - UTG Bug Buster 3-12x32 AO Reviews

Easy to zero - no tools needed. Good clarity and value for the money. Like the flip up covers and quick release mounts included made installation on my Umarex Origin fast and easy.

Nothing

IMMHO, this is the best Bug Buster yet. If you are looking for a good quality scope that is compact and lightweight and will not break the bank, this is it.

Like all Bug Busters, it has a rather thick wire reticle. This works well when searching for that elusive fuzzy tailed tree rat up in the canopy,but does not do so well for long range precision shooting. I would like to see Leapers change this over to etched reticles.

The reticle is not illuminated. That is fine by me, but I know there are many who like the light.

This is a great small scope for backyard plinking. Has clear glass love the quick mount rings included.

Having a little more eye relief would be nice for me.

Great price for a quality scope!

got this on my benjamin nitro XL and is really a bug buster I shot two flies off my backstop at thirty five yards-guess it works

NOTING

works great!!!!

Sharp, clear, small

nothing

So far, it is a great little scope. I just sighted it in at 25 yards, picture is sharp and clear even to the edges.

Compact, side wheel focus

Nothing

This is the second bug buster scope I have purchased from Pyramid air, both arrived in excellent condition and on the expected delivery date. The image quality of these scopes is as good or better than any of the other scopes I have in this price range. The controls have just the right amount of friction and the markings are clear. The side parallax adjustment is a bonus at this price and both scopes have held zero during the limited amount of shooting I have been able to do. I would and may purchase another in the future.

The lense covers are sort of bulky but that is no deal breaker for me

Because of the short length these scopes will not mount using the Ruger supplied rings on 77/22 series rifles.

Everything

Nothing

I installed this scope on a highly modified Crosman 2240 carbine with 24 inch barrel. Very crystal clear optic. I really like the mil dot reticle. Perfect scope for this application.

Very clear optics. Better than a Leopold 1.5 to 4 I own. Focus on side is excellent and minimum focus is also very good, less than 30 feet. Have nothing bad to say other than eye relief is a bit close.

Really nothing except eye relief and even that is not a problem..

Works very well for 11 yard target with clear focus.

The ease of focus and eye relief, the scope is just enough and not to much, very light for an AR platform.

Definitely etched glass IR but hey cant hey cant have it all.

This scope is good even for springers with heavy recoil

I have been wanting a bug buster scope for many years. You cannot beat the value of this scope. will focus down to 3 yards with this scope. This scope is so compact for a AR15 rifle , short and light ! Excellent for hunting and tactical.

On the bug buster scope line I wish they had a reticle that just had a illuminated duplex cross hairs. Us old folks with eye issues would really benefit with a Illuminated duplex cross hairs. Mill dots don't work for a lot of us with eye issue. Only thing I would do. Add this type of reticle.

Great service here.

Darn good scope from 3ft to 100 yrs clearvision all the way would buy again if I need one

Nothing

Have to order dovetail rings they came with piccatinny rings 14.00 dollars not bad for utg scope rings

very clear glass, easy to mount on rifle, easy to sight in, with stands recoil of umarex octane .177, previous scope a truglo 4x could not would have to adjust after several firings. am thinking about purchasing another one for my 22lr marlin lever action that has an old tasso with no paralax or diopter adjustment. locking turits are easy to use.There are other models that are worth considering personal preferences lots of choices within the brand,

UTG/Leapers quality. Great glass and very fine cross hairs. The side mount AO is so much easier to manipulate than the front barrel AO. Light weight.

Nothing.

I wanted to mount this on my R9 using the "Leapers Accushot 1-Pc Bi-directional Offset Mount w/1" Rings, High, 11mm Dovetail, (PY-A-2409)", but not without some finagling. I had the 3x9 Bug Buster on this mount previously so I emailed Pyramydair before ordering the scope to make sure the 3x12 would also work with this mount, and was assured it would work......IT DOESN'T. The center of the scope, where the bulb for optic controls are, bottomed out on the mount, so the scope tube doesn't rest flat in the bottom rings. I was afraid I'd damage the scope by tightening the scope to the rings, so I ended up milling about .0185" off the scope mount so the "optic bulb" no longer touched the mount and the scope could then be mounted.

Leapers should be made aware of this and mill out the mount at the factory so it would then fit the 3x9 and 3x12 Bug Buster scopes. Also Pyramydair customer service should be made aware so they don't give out incorrect info about the fitment of this scope/mount

I like the compact size, the light weight, the convenient side focus, the 12x magnification. The clarity of the glass is just great and scope itself is durable enough to be used on a powerful springer without worry. The adjustment knobs are easy to use and lock down firmly without the need for a cap.

Nothing

I have and enjoy using three of the regular Bug Busters and now this is my fourth.
The side focus is so much easier to use than twisting the front end of the scope.
These are a great value for the money.

Pyramyd Air Advisors NEVER Steer you Wrong! They recommended this scope for short range encounters. I am a Ratter And this scope makes the difference when you are having close encounters with RATS.

Nothing

I ALWAYS LISTEN TO THE ADViSORS because if you give them your situation information they guide you to the right equipment you need. The Advisors hunt and use pellet Rifles every weekend. I have come to know one personally and he is a Pest Control Hunter every night. Therefore, the Pyramydair Advisors are EXPERIENCED Air Rifle Users and will give you an HONEST & CORRECT ANSWER! I would like to also Mention my Many Purchasing Experiences with Pyramydair have ALL BEEN GREAT! They Really get it Right! Cajun Ratter

I liked the compactness

The eye relief is too close

Its like looking down a straw

size, weight, but that's about it.

Maxed out the windage and elevation clicks at 20 yards and still not accurate.

Maybe I got a dud, but mine ran out of clicks on both turrets past 20 yards. Now it's basically worthless. Waste of money.

Everything - the size, clarity, price, close in focus, and I like the side wheel. This is my second one. I gave one as a present.

I would love to see a 30mm version and would gladly pay more for it.

You will like it.

Great for my air rifles and 22's. This one I bought for my CZ 457 Lux 22 LR with 11mm dovetail grooves. My old Bug Buster is on my 1960's Crosman 1400 / Sears 126.19306 Pellet Rifle with 11mm dovetail groves. (you have to buy 11mm rings) I have only shot this new one at 35 yards but 1 inch groups are easy after a simple zeroing. Light and clarity are good - and since this one goes out to 12x - I can skip the spotting scope. The compact size is great and the warranty is unbeatable.

Nothing

Was less than 100 bucks with Pyramid 20% off sale - this is my 2nd Bug Buster - they are tough - meant to be used.
