Description

Do you hunt? If so, this robust scope is designed with your needs in mind. From the emerald coating on the lens to the illumination options, this scope really delivers the goods in the field. There's nothing more frustrating than seeing your target and not being able to see where your reticle is placed. In dim or bright light, all you have to do is adjust the brightness of the reticle and change its color, if needed, and you're ready to take your shot.

Leapers UTG True Strength scopes have a well-earned reputation for standing up to all kinds of recoil handed out by the harsh two-way recoil of magnum spring-piston rifles. While other scopes curl up and die when that piston slams in both directions, your UTG Hunter scope will just keep on plugging away.

If you don't want to put your family's budget on life support just to get a high-quality scope, then this is an ideal match for you. You will not regret your purchase!

replaced the centerpoint scope included with my benjamin mayhem ,22 cal np2 sbd because the wire reticle was too thick and it bothered me. this new leapers is dynamite. now i can see quite clearly. mil dots are great for me.

don't need the illumination aspect.

good scope for the price. will see how it holds up to my break barrel. so far so good.

The reticle is useful and easy to acquire and the turret knobs are of decent quality.

Knowing what I know now I'd probably opt for a side focus knob

This scope was nice and worked well until I changed yardage. I ran a small test, 5 shot group at 20 yards on a quarter, adjusted the focal distance and then brought it back to the 20 yard position. The POI shifted a good 2 inches at 20 yards, not theoretically, ACTUAL poi moved. So don't expect to take this scope hunting, or to any sort of field target range.

Unless you only shoot at 1 distance and will not ever change that distance, go with something else

Calin.....you are not understanding. Read it again. Changing focus from 20 yards to 80 yards, then back to 20 yards( without changing ANYTHING else) should have same poi with same poa.

CALIN Nov 16, 2019

The POI shift with AO adjustment that you reported is nearly a universal deficiency in all AO scopes. Actually, it exists in side parallax focus scopes too, but it's not usually as severe and the error tends to be confined to elevation only, which means the error just get buried in the shooter's "dope" for different ranges. Unfortunately, AO (objective lens) adjusters almost always affect both elevation and windage. Except for the most expensive scopes (S&B, for example, but even an occasional S&B can have the problem) all the AO scopes I've tested exhibit this problem to one degree or another. In many cases the error is equivalent to several "clicks" on the E/W dials and the scope cannot be adjusted for parallax without also adjusting the E/W knobs.

This the fourth one of these I have bought. Good quality, sharp image to the edges of the viewing area of the scope. I especially like the 5 yard focusing distance of the A/O.

Better instructions on how to get the various colors of the cross hairs.

I assume you have bought 4 of these for 4 different rifles?

Excellent scope for the price. Acquiring targets with multi-color reticle a breeze. Adjusting the zero with turrets is also a breeze. 5 Stars overall rating. 5 stars on value for money.

Not a thing. Best scope for the price. On time of the reticle would be nice if it was shorter. It stays on for an hour, myself I would like to see 15 minutes of on time. Just to extend battery life longer.

Make sure you get tall or high mount scope rings if you need different from what comes with the scope. The lens cap for the objective lens will not fit if you use low or medium height rings.

Just bought a second one. These scopes are fantastic. Mounted it on my Benjamin Phoenix .22 cal. Can't say enough about it. Excellent quality for the price.

Very nice scope. I shot the spray button nozzle off an aerosol paint can at 20 yards first shot. Very accurate on my Mrod 22 and looks great. This scope and Mrod complement each other making it a real blast to shoot. Love it.

Nothing

If you're thinking about getting this scope get it you won't be disappointed. You can't beat it. A great for the money.

Perfect for backyard sniping and plinking. I can hit a wasp at 10 ft and zoom out to 100 yards to take a tree rat in a matter of seconds all from my back deck. Fair eye relief, good glass, and sharp focus.

Nothing. For the money this is an exceptional scope.

I will buy additional UTG scopes for my growing air gun collection.

Range of adjustability from 3-12 power, parallax adjustable down to 5 yards, which is great for air gun use. Solid construction, feel, lens clarity and exposed turret knobs that don't need to unscrewed to adjust windage and elevation. Surprised more people don't buy this scope vs the Leapers/UTG 3-9.

Weight, at 21.9 oz, it's a very heavy scope, compared to a Nikon or Leupold EFR air gun rated scopes. Drop the illuminated reticle colors, it's fun to use the first time, but only needs to be black and which should possibly lower the price even more.

In the right conditions, I noticed an annoying glare through the lens while sighting in my R1.
I have Leupold, Burris, Bushnell and Tasco scopes on my centerfire and rimfire guns and have never experienced the glare before at the same location I sight in all of my other guns.
It's made in CHINA, not the USA, even though UTG/Leapers is based out of Livonia, Michigan.
Feature loaded scope that's difficult to beat, for air gun use.
