Leapers UTG 4-16X40 1" Hunter Scope, AO, 36-color Mil-dot, w/Rings

Gewiss kann man von einem Glas in dieser Preisklasse nicht das verlangen, was ein Zeiss, Swarowski, Leupold und andere "große" Namen bieten. Für mein Luftgewehr wollte ich mir aber auch kein Glas dieser Hersteller kaufen und so habe ich mir gedacht, dass eine Investition von 150 EUR in dieses UTG einen Versuch wert ist.Rein optisch betrachtet überzeugt der Blick durchs Zielfernrohr und man erhält ein kontrastreiches, scharfes Bild. Das Absehen ist in 36 frohen Farben diverser Intensität beleuchtbar, was für fast jede Zielsituation den passenden Kontrast bietet. Hier macht sich beim Blick in die Randbereiche das Innenleben leicht bemerkbar; man sieht wo so manche Linse endet, aber das fällt weniger ins Auge, wenn man "normal" durchschaut und das Ziel fixiert.Nach rund 100 Schuss mit dem Luftgewehr (Feinwerkbau 300 S Match) war das Glas punkt- und wiederholungsgenau eingeschossen und bisher kann ich mich über die Genauigkeit nicht beschweren, die Optik hält den Rückstoß aus und die Trefferpunktlage verändert sich nicht. Wenn es auch nach 1.000 Schuss nicht auseinandergefallen ist, bin ich zufrieden.

This is a great scope; I have two. One is mounted to my Crossman NP II Air Rifle. The other is to the top of my Marlin XT 22LR. I have a Boyds Custom Varmint Hunter Stock to the Marlin and I can tell you with no degree of difference the Crossman Nitro Piston II kicks a lot harder than my 22LR. The UTG holds Zero for a good 200 rounds on the Air Rifle before it needs a click maybe 2 at most back. The IR is awsome at night. I threw a Green Lazer ontop the Air Rifle; select RED on the IR and with a Night Glo Stick near a target; I can plink till the battery in the Scope goes dead.At $3 a battery and you get a few nights use out of it, simple and inexpensive option to have some fun with.As for throwing it onto my 22LR, well - up at the Range I shoot at in North GA - I have had several people fire my Marlin. It's at ZERO on 75 yards and I am in the RED on 8" targets. If I need a click here or there, it;s not often. The glass is clear - clean and crsip, You easily make out the holes on the Splatter targets.It's a big scope, and it will add weight to your 22LR. The view/picture is 2'nd to none from over 10-15 scopes I have looked thru other wise. Finally, get it out there on a 50 degree wet day and you will see no fog up on the lens. maybe some condensation but no fog.$100 is $100. It's the one time investment ya make to really see what ya want to hit at 75 or 100 yards.After 100 yards - I think any 40 grain projectile is gona move / spray off target. Along with moving beyond 100 yards; check your LBS./Engery at 100 yards or more - doubtful your gona take down a Varmint at that distance, but a good hit may.Bottom Line; Buy it, sight it in at 50 yards - nail your Bulls Eye - get it out to 75 Yards and try to hold your groupings in the RED. Do that, then back it up to 100 yards. You will see your punches all day long with a splatter target. You only need the 8" Splatter targets. This scope when zero'd will keep you well inside the Kill Zone.

Nice scope for the money

I have 3 of these for my 2 MRods and my Sig ASP breakbarrel. This scope holds on to my Sig’s recoil, shockproof and durable. Didn’t reset it again since the first time I zeroed it on my breakbarrel. 7 months now on the gun and still dead on target. Mrods have no recoil at all so its not an issue to me.

Strong, well-built, and actually a little larger than I had expected. Focus is good; if, like me, this is your first scope with an AO, you will NEVER go back to fixed parallax! Adjustments are a little stiff, but I'm sure that'll get better with time and use. Good magnification but at higher powers the objective seems smaller than 40mm. I would guess if you want a scope with magnification over 12X you'd want at least a 50mm objective lens. Still a good scope for the money. The illuminated reticle is a nice feature and the adjustable brightness helps in varying light conditions. Mil-dots are good, although I admit I am not very experienced with using them so it's hard for me to say if they're really good or not.
