Page 9 - UTG 30mm SWAT 3-12x44 AO Reviews

Owning 3 of these scopes should speak for itself. Great scopes. I have had no issues with any of the Leapers products including mounts. Buy the wheel for the side adjustment.

Nothing

Very good scope. Will take the recoil of all air rifles.Optics are clean and clear.

I like the 30mm tube, this makes for a very clear picture. Its not too long, so it fits on break barrels easily. And you can't beat the side adjustable objective setup!!!

The dials feel a little stiff right now. I've only had it for about a month now.

Make sure you order some 30mm scope mounts for a 11mm dovetail if you do not have weaver rails on your gun.

Clarity, adjustability, supplied rings, side ao.

Nothing

Holds tight groups on top of xl 1100. Keeps zero after several hundred shots. Great upgrade from leapers 3"9"50. Great for magnum powered break barrels. Looks awesome. Getting 1/2 inch groups at 40 yards with ftt5.53. Awesome scope,gun,pellet combo.

Friction twist locks on turrets. No tools required for adjustments. Overall look and adjustability. Ability to hold zero, like all leapers scopes. Picture quality.

Nothing though I dont need 30+ colors of illumination but is pretty cool to experiment with. R/G would be fine.

Makes already heavy np xl 1100 even heavier since it comes in at 23 ounces but I wanted a big boy scope for a big boy gas ram. Great accuracy! Less than 1inch groups at 40 yards ctc.

When I was deciding to purchase this scope, I was worried that it didn't have an ocular lens adjustment as stated on one of the other reviews but it had everything else I was looking for so I purchased it. I was delightfully surprised, there IS a ocular lens adjustment...just pull the dust cover off to adjust. Awesome product. I've got this on my Beemer R10 (old but quite powerful) rated at 900fps. This gun does vibrate and the scope holds it's zero to the T. Scope covers are firm and very predictable, turrets are decisive AND re-adjustable, even at 12x zoom the optics are clear from edge to edge. With all the quality and DURABILITY of this scope, I would expect to pay quite a bit more. Amazing that this works with spring air guns as well as regular fire arms whereas scopes designed for regular firearms would get destroyed on spring air guns...and cost a hell of a lot more. Illuminated reticle is fun but I don't hunt or plink in the wee hours so I just leave the battery out. During regular daylight hours, the unlit reticle is crisp and jumps out at you. I would recommend this product wholeheartedly but be prepared to spend a few bucks on mounts if you don't have weaver rails. Other than that...it's perfect!!!!

Choice of mounting rings.

Looks great and feels solid, really liked the 10 mil dots.

Ad more adjustment for elevation, i purchased this scope and put it on my .22 Benjamin, and was unable to sight it in, elevation was maxed out and it was still hitting low.

If you have a airgun with barrel droop, or obviously a .22 Benjamin Marauder do not buy this scope

- Pretty much everything! - Very solid construction - Easy to adjust and lock adjustments - Easy to read adjustment markers! - Great focus, range and magnification, controls

- Put the magnification on the front end of the scope? (Just a nit pick.)

Yeah. I bought a $69 scope from this same manufacturer, and it wasn't bad, but it wasn't nearly as good as this one. Spend the extra $40 and get one that works a lot better. If I buy another scope it will be this one, or one better. I am very satisfied with this scope. Nice optics, solid, easy to adjust and lock in. The variable illumination is nice.

Great scopes! I have been using Leapers on my airguns for years now. They are truly springer and recoil rated scopes. I like the design of this scope and ability to have 36 full colors for varying light conditions one may need. The scope easily mounts and I like the scopes turn knobs for tightning to the picatinny rail. In the past I used scopes with the allen screws but this makes it much easier.

Maybe also have some sort of tinted glass ability to also take glare off the optic glass in varying sun positions. I know this would increase the cost but people buy scopes of this nature to do it all.

Like any scope be sure to check your weaver rings for any burrs on them as well before installing and if they have some fix accordingly or you will almost always get fliers every so often.

A lot of scope for the money, but...

Uh!-Oh! ****NO OCULAR LENS ADJUSTMENT!!! **** Better have 20/20 or figure on not getting any older!

Buy American!

I bought this scope for the side wheel adjustment for AO. It's also very clear optics. I also like the 30mm main tube. I would buy another one of these scopes in a heartbeat.

I would offer this scope with a choice of 11mm rings or Weaver,Picanity rings

Nothing I can think of.

This is a nice scope, heavy duty. I would say for me its almost perfect. optics are clear and its easy to calibrate.

I would like to see option with larger magnificatin Also option without the illuminated mil-dot - the first thing I did to the scope remove battery by the way. And finally a larger ocular would be great because at this point the scope is not very tolerable even for slight deviation from the streight line of view through oculus at 12x magnification.

This is a heavy scope will add almost 1kg to your air gun. Probably not very useful for precision shooting over 40 yards ( for me even 30m -33yards is hard with 12x, talking about 1cm groups)

This is a pretty impressive scope, especially for the price point. Illumination feature works easily and effectively. Clear optics and powerful enough for most pellet guns.

I am not a big fan of the hinged lens covers but that is a matter of personal preference. The scope is fairly large so make sure you order proper mounts.

You really can't go wrong with this scope and the illumination aspect is fun.

I put this scope on my NPSS with the leapers medium height mounts. I had to use some shims so that the lens covers would go on the scope. The 44 mm objective is large. The first scope had a loose adjustable objective side wheel so I called PA and they sent me a return postage label. I got the new scope back very quickly, installed the 80 mm side wheel and sighted it in. This scope rocks. It is very clear, solid, (doesn’t move when shot), the side wheel objective adjustment is a plus, and the elevation and windage adjustment turrets have locks built on them so you don’t need to carry tools. I am glad I purchased this from PA. Their customer service is top notch.

This scope has such a wide range of applications that it would be nice if it was offered with or without rings. It comes with weaver mounts and I needed 9mm so now I have extra rings that I had to pay for and cannot use (at least now).

This is a great scope for the money. You might need a magnifying glass to read the range estimation chart that is included with the scope.

Crystal clear, adjustments turn easily, locking turrets very useful, and illumination is excellent.

Nothing.

This scope is a little heavy and I would not recommend using this scope for in the field use unless you have a bipod or shooting sticks

Clear sight picture, sighted in right away.

A little heavy but that didn't matter to me.

Some people complained about stiff adjustments such as zoom and objective. Mine were perfect and smooth.

Crystal clear, easy to use and looks awesome on my Benjamin XL 1100.

Nothing..

Much better optics then some of the high dollar scopes. I can hit pop cans out to a 100yrd with ease using the mill a dot.

Best scope for the money I have ever bought. I have used many others. Clarity is great for a scope in this range but not as good as $400+ scopes. Plenty good for any air rifle. The illumination is great in low light. The focus works really well. Coupled with the 80mm wheel, It helps judge range very quickly. I was able to zero it in less than 20 shots.

Nothing that I could think of. The magnification could slide a bit easier. Maybe mine will loosen up with time.

Just like any scope, make sure the rings and scope are clean before mounting and use blue loc tite on the screws to ensure you keep your zero.

Easy to adjust. Images are very clear through this scope. Side focus is a great feature.

It would be good if Leapers had a version with no reticle light. I would save some weight and I suppose it would cost less.

I´t a very nice scope. I wish I would have seen it before I bought another Leapers model for my .22 Benjamin Marauder. It has the precision needed for my Benjamin .357 Rogue. If you own a .357 Rogue, know that the six shot magazine is high and fited through the left side of the action. So condider high scope rings and also don´t waist your money buying the side focus wheel. It will get in the way of your six shot magazine unless you intend to manualy load bullets one by one.

Red, green and black reticle is great for all types on daylight.

none

I have this scope mounted on my RWS 350 magnum and is a perfect combo. Love this scope.

This is perfect for the guy who has a champaign taste and beer budget. The quality of this scope FAR exceeds anything in it's price range. This is the first scope I've had with the sidewheel parallax adjustment and it's the only thing I will have from now on. The optics are very good and I much prefer this 30mm tube to the standard 1" tube. The turret locks are a great feature that keep the reticle from moving once the gun is sighted in. The rings are top quality as well.

The illuminated reticle works great, but I don't need it. Offer it with LOW profile rings. When you stack a weaver mount on the RWS scope rail and then put these rings on top of that, it's pretty high off the rifle. I changed to a one-piece UTG mount which makes it sit just high enough to clear everything.

I have gone through four scopes prior to this one, all of which were a similar price, none of which could hold up to a high powered springer. This was recommended to me by one of the people at Pyramyd who review air rifles. It's got about 4,500 rounds shot under it and all is well so far.
