UTG 30mm Red/Green Dot Sight Reviews

Size, dot, setting up, price. This is a great dot for the price, put one on the crosman a4-p, perfect for it. I do like using the red dot over the green as I found the green was just a tad harder to see with orange or red targets

Nothing

Very easy to set to windage and elevation. I found one clicks to not be very effective, I ended up doing two to three clicks before settling on a good setup

Does what it is supposed to do Don't know about long-term durability

Nothing

Very nice I'm trying to find a way to attach to my blitz without buying the rail for it I have one but I can't get it mounted. But love it

Nothing

Red dot or green lights up dweet

Able to do sighting with both eyes open, quicker target acquisition.I like having the red or the green depending on what the background or conditions, sometimes I use red, other times green. The picatinny mount is solid and able to be tightened down properly. I hate quick releases they lose their zero, so big plus there.

Absolutely pathetic adjustments for zeroing the reticle... shallow flathead screwtop... I prefer knobs I can dial in on the fly without a lot of swearing, dropping the gun and wondering why the hell I bother using this POS when it is so crippled in being adjusted. The dot is not clear, it does not appear as a dot but rather sort of a short line with two dots blurring into each other at an angle. I saw an obvious flaw in the glass holding it up to the light...loos like pure shit... how it passed QC is a chinese mystery. The flaw does not show up when using the sight...but it is obviously there if you inspect it...this might be why the dot looks so blurry. Rechargeable batteries would be nice. This is annoying to set up and even more annoying to fix on the fly, requires screwdriver to adjust.

This a cheap chinese 1x sight and as long as you have a screwdriver, you can attempt to zero your sight, but adjustable knobs is where it is at. no auto shut off either so you can lose all your battery if you forget. You are better off paying double for something of higher quality, but as for cheap throwaway dot sight I would say possibly best in class since the class is low priced.

Very easy to Mount and sight in (it was way off when I received it). Nice dot size options. It is my first dot sight so I cannot compare it to others.

Nothing yet.

The rifle I mounted it on (Air Venturi Avenger) uses a circular magazine that protrudes above the barrel. It has a short picatinny rail behind the magazine so I did not have much room to work with. The magazine interferes with the opening of the front lens cover. I had to shave off about 1/16th of an inch off the corner of the lens cover. Now it can be opened while the magazine is in place on the rifle. If I had less room to work with, I would not have been able to resolve this issue unless I removed the front lens cover completely. So if you are putting this on the Avenger or similar rifles, check the length of the picatinny rail to be sure you can mount the sight far enough behind the magazine.

Ease of mounting; east of zeroing in, makes old eyes new!

Lens caps are a bit sticky to get loose.

It has made my Crosman 1377 tack sharp. I could no longer see the sights on the gun but this Red Dot works like a charm.

Size is good

It is hard to see red or green dot outside in the sunlight. I made a shade out of light weight tin. Now I can see the red and green dot outside.

You really have to turn the adjustment knobs to sight in the scope.

much nicer sight picture than the red dot that comes with the Crosman R1.

Couldnt adjust the scope to move the point of impact to the right. Returned to P/A

Waiting for my replacement Crosman R1. If the Co2 system works properly with the new rifle I will purchase a more expensive red dot

Great addition to my Crosman American Classic Variable Pump .22 Cal pistol with shoulder stock. Needed Weaver to 11MM dove tail adapter available for $11 (or so) . Really helps getting aligned with target at closer ranges where open sights (scope not needed) work well, but for old eyes focusing on the front sight is more difficult. Being able to see the red dot or green dot on the target (typically the invasive green Argentinian Iguanas here in South Florida) makes a huge difference. I like the integrated lens covers.

Can't think of a thing.

You will need sight in this optic just as you would a scope or iron sights. Some reviewers of sights and scopes infer by their negative comments the optics come zeroed in as they add it to their rifles and pistols. Hummmmm.

The accuracy of shooting with it

Don't change nothing

I like that it has a mental body and drop down cover.

It would be nice if you could adjust for different distances, but for the price, it is just fine the way it is.

It is great red dot scope for the money, and it offers a expensive look for very little money.

Looks good and works

Brightness adjustment needed

The red dot scope arrived on time. upon testing the red and green dots worked fine. when mounting the red dot , the thumb screws would not tighten. on the mount, rather than return it I ran the correct thread tap through the thumb screws. A 5mm x 80. they then worked fine. and tightened the mount to the gun. Using a bore sight it was close to the target center. It took 5 more shots to zero it.using a few clicks on each shot. It has held zero through at least 25 more shots mounted on a RWS side lever

Nothing to change it works great

This is a good value for the price

Like choosing from red to green dot depending on outside light.

Need magnification.....

Nice, large viewing area. It's great having the choice between red and green and the differing brightness choices. Easy to setup and sight. I'm pretty amazed we can get a sight of this quality at such a low price. Awesome value! And thank you for the extra battery! I am using this on a Sig Sauer MPX and absolutely love it. It's a good pairing and I have been able to shoot the flower heads off a dandelion with no support. I am very impressed!

Make the on/off brightness control a little easier to turn. Yeah, it is pretty tight, but you don't have to worry about it once it's set. No, it doesn't have auto on/off but if it did that would be a feature I would not use. Just make checking your sight part of the process when you put your weapon away after use.

Some complained that the lens caps get in the way of the on/off knob. Note that you can turn the lens caps by twisting the entire outer part of the lens itself. Bam! "Problem" solved!

Easy to mount and setup. Very good for close (within 10 yards) shots. Love the built in caps also.

I would like to have a little magnification.

Inexpensive dot sight. You have to pay much more to get one a little better. The dot is fairly well defined.

You will need an adapter if you want to use it on a 11mm grooved receiver

works well for a BB gun. Was on the mark out of the box. Easy to see.

Knob is a little difficult to turn Very tight and since the caps flip up on top of the rheostat, it makes it a little difficult to adjust the light setting. It would be better if they could be rotated to one side or the other.

quick set up and easy to adjust. I think a good value for what it brings considering it's for air guns.

A great optic at a reasonable price.

Nothing

This optic changed my Browning 800 Express with junk rear sight to a real tac driver. Plus I can use this sight on my other guns as well. Be sure to put thread locker (blue) on all mounting screws.

clear holds up on magnum hatsan break barrels. accurate.

n/a

works well on hatsan pellet guns . holds up heavy recoil. a must have
