UTG3-12X44 30mm Scope, AO, 36-color Mil-dot, w/ Rings

I wasn't sure what to expect from this scope but was instantly impressed when I got ahold of it. It's VERY sturdy and absolutely NOTHING feels at all cheap about it. I mounted it to a Marlin 60 and took it to the range. 4 shots and I had it zeroed. I've since fired in excess of 1000 rounds and only adjusted it due to ammo changes which was easy because of the return to zero turrets. After I was done with that ammo I simply returned to turrets to zero and with the regular ammo I shoot was back on the bull. The illumination is great as well. While I have no need for all the colors, I've found in addition to the red and green, blue and teal? are probably my favs. The flip up sunshades are well built too. The snap open and closed firmly and stay put. A simple flip of your thumb and the spring loaded caps flip up. I have nothing negative to say about it! It's not small by any means or light but that's pretty easy to tell from looking at it. If you're hesitant because it's not the most $$ scope out there, don't be! I'm shocked it is so cheap after owning it. I'd easily pay 50% more or even 2X and still be happy.******UPDATE*****I've now had this scope for over two years. It has switched between 3-4 different rifles of varying power and the UTG scope has continued to do the job. In the two years I've had this scope I've purchased a handful of other scopes, mostly mid-high end costing between $500 to $1200. Is the UTG as nice as the way more expensive scopes? Of course not BUT it is still a nice scope for a limited budget. It's fairly clear, magnifies the target and holds its zero which is pretty much all you should expect from a budget priced optic..

I have this on my Benjamin Discovery in .177, and I am doing my part with the rifle benched, I can get single hole 5 shot groupings at 10 yds with its preferred pellet. I haven't taken the time to do longer ranges, but I am sure the scope will perform as expected.This is one of the best value scopes out there in terms of features/cost. The magnification range is perfect for off hand shooting - any higher magnification for me would be too much, and actually make shooting more difficult due to not being steady, and not able to track movement easily through the scope.I did add the 80 mm wheel, which makes adjusting the parallax much easier. The turret knob originally was a bit difficult to turn, but it did loosen up, and the wheel makes it a non-issue.The one complaint is the illuminated reticle, which I don't use. There is a good amount of light reflecting off the insides, and I don't find having all the colors to be that useful for me, though it may be for someone else. The battery compartment was a bit difficult to thread properly as well.Even with that single complaint, this is still worth 5 stars to me. This would still be rated that highly even if it did not have an illuminated reticle. Keep your expectations in line, this does not have an etched glass reticle, and will not be as clear as scopes costing factors more. For what it is though, I am extremely pleased.

First new scope in 40 years. Put on Benjamin Marauder .25 PCP. Working great. Really like the side AO adjust (bought the little wheel, works well and looks interesting). The multi-color internal illuminator does not do much for me, but did not seem to drive price.You'll need medium height mounts. Might get away with low if you don't use the end caps, but with them, you'll need medium.Ended up returning first scope because cross hairs were not perpendicular, maybe 5 degrees off. Return/replacement was no problem. Second one is also off but only slightly, maybe just under 1 degree. I don't like it but it is fine for my skill level and expectations. I am mostly plinking cans and shooting squirrels, and it lets me do that at 50-75 yards without trying very hard.Optics seem great for the price point, as in, this is probably the best you are going to get for ~$100. If you've used the high end stuff this will seem a little inferior, but that stuff costs 4-5 times more. If you've not used a scope in awhile or are new to them, this will seem amazing.

This scope arrived by USPS on the day promised and in perfect condition due to Amazon double boxing. Hope they don't start scrimping on shipping and packaging. I am impressed with this scope. After checking crosshair alignment and knob rotations, I mounted it on my Gamo Big Cat. Scope is a little heavier than what I was using but this is not a problem for me. Had this scope zeroed in 5 shots @ 50 ft. My lucky day. So far scope is working perfectly but haven't shot gun much to really see. Color options are kinda neat but I probably won't use them much. They are primarily for low light situations. Crosshairs are thin which is what I was looking for in a new scope. Magnification really helps my aging eyes too. Overall I am pleased with this purchase.After about 150 shots, scope is holding zero perfectly. At 40-50 ft I am within a dime and stacking some. Shooting Crossman pointed pellets and do have an occasional flier but that is to be expected. Clarity is very good and I am well pleased with this purchase.

didnt think it would hold up long , but i have a thousand rounds through it in my np xl and every round was thumping ! !! recoil is abundant and this scope has held its own since i have had it -- no complaints so far, its a touch heavy but the finish is nice has covers over the lenses and is easy to adjust. paralax was pretty accurate also, glass is clear not blurry and magnification is nice! id recomment for hard hitting recoil but does add some weight
