What about UTG?
Well, i never owned a utg product before and i finally bit on the price/perfomance ratio propaganda. I have a Centerpoint 4-16x40 rifle scope that is all out of proportion to its cost. It is a very good scope and has been on my .308 for over a year. I handload and shoot a lot with pretty stout loads for hunting(not a box or two a year..frequent range sessions with 50 rounds of .308, 50 of .223 and 500 or so .22). The centerpoint is a rock solid optic that just doesn't cost much. Rumours were that leapers and centerpoint were the same scopes, so i just had to try one from UTG.First of all let me say i see similarities in the two brands, but there are differences that make me believe they use the same factory, but not the same specifications. I will add that i slightly prefer the centerpoint, but they don't make a CQB scope like this one.The leapers scope is a beautiful thing to look at, as is the centerpoint. They are both heavily built (and heavy, BTW) and simply gorgeous on or off the gun. But looks don't really count much after you paint them camouflage, so the equipment has to perform. Out of the box, the centerpoint takes the edge regarding fit and finish of the controls and flip up caps. On my new utg, the ocular end cap was shipped with the ridges installed over the ridges and the rubber is stretched so that proper installation is loose. This results in the cap falling off, especially if you try to flip the cap open. I batted this one around in my head and decided to use some electrical tape inside the flip up lens cover to fill the depressions a little. Don't try this with cheap electrical tape. I have the good stuff.It works fine this way, but i think it should have been right out of the box, even for 74 bucks. The centerpoint was perfect in every way and it was only 70bucks in a blister pack at walmart. While i'm on that...the packaging of the utg wins hands down. It is very good protective display packaging with all the details and nice graphics...little things tell me something about where this company is trying to go. The scope arrived in perfect condition except for the one end cap. The objective end cap is perfect. All tools are included, two batteries, and the rings were separately boxed and wrapped.The fit of the AO and magnification control functions is so tight they are difficult to move, score one for centerpoint. The lock rings on the w/e knobs are tough to loosen and tighten, aggravated by the close quarters of the short body of this scope. Still, the clicks are firm and precise and exactly 1/4" @ 100 yards as advertised..which makes sight-in a breeze. I was in the 10 ring on shot number 7. I think UTG takes the nod here. I haven't tried to reset the zero yet, but i suspect it is as with the centerpoint...be careful here and follow the instructions. It wasn't as simple as it seemed on the centerpoint...but it does work and is a nice feature most folks won't care about anyway. BTW, the instructions for that procedure are pretty much word for word with the centerpoint..same factory..i think so.Both scopes have adjustable objectives that are accurately marked for yardage. Good job. It's nice to be able to range something and set the AO to that range and see it clearly without further adjustment, especially with front adjusting AO. I wish both of these companies could figure out a way to get side AO and keep the prices down...lol.The eye relief on this is a little over 4 inches down to a little over three...perfect for quick acquisition. This one really shocked me, along with the clarity of the optics for such a cheap scope. I will be able to offset mount my red dot in front of this once i get my quad rail. Long eye relief on the scope really opens up the weak eye field of view for quick target aquisition. Advantage, leapers. Okay, the Centerpoint isn't a CQB scope, so sue me. Quick aquisition is still nice for deer hunting if one pops out in front of you. In fact this one may end up on my .308 next deer season for that reason. Never hurts to be ready.Anyway, i don't want to send the wrong message about the UTG. It is a fine scope, worth WAY more than 74 bucks. The rings on this thing are QD and extremely heavy duty. I haven't taken them off to see if they maintain zero, but i will when i get my quad rail. I don't have any need to do that at the moment. I'll amend the review if the zero changes. If not call it good. So, one faulty lens cap...which i may contact utg about to test their customer service...and tight controls (which i expect to loosen over time, so how bad is that really?) All in all, I find the UTG new generation compact CQB scope to be a real winner. I am betting utg sends me a new cap for free and all is well.Don't believe everything you read (including this)...step out and find out for yourself. Shooting on a budget makes it fun for more people. Hats off to UTG (and centerpoint...by Crossman) for bringing quality to the masses.

Reviewed in the United States on August 29, 2016
This is a great scope for the money, even at a higher price.
I have this mounted on my DPMS Oracle that has a flat-top, and the only thing that I would have liked better, would have been that it had higher profile mounts, but that's my personal preference, as such, this scope is ready to go right out of the box. Sight picture is clear as day, no issues, fully adjustable.
Has nice instructions for how to set use the mil-dots, and it comes with a cheat sheet specifically for this scope.
Personally, I like the illumination, even though I'll probably never use it at low light, but it's nice to have just in case.

My only gripe with this scope is the eye relief. It stays long eye relief, but that's not really the case. I have to be really close to the scope to get a good picture. With a Magpul MOE adjustable stock, I have to set the stock at the halfway point, with the scope mounted so that the eye ring is one rail notch forward of the charging handle. Other wise you "hit" the scope every time you have to pull the charging handle. That's the main reason for wanting a higher profile mount.

To those who say they got a dud, unfortunately maybe you got one of the very few duds, unfortunately it can happen regardless of price level or brand.
Don't let one bad experience ruin it for you. Send it back, as I'm sure you know, Amazon will refund or exchanges just about anything, and painlessly. Have them send you another and give it a another try.

Since I have used the same scope on both a 223/556 AR and a 300 BLK AR, because it has resettable zero points, it's no issue getting back to zero when switching between rifles.

The only reason I have not bought a second one of these as a dedicated scope for the 300 BLK is because I'm planning on getting another UTG scope with a higher zoom level for the 223/556 AR and will use this 3x9 on the 300BLK. Just have to decide on which one I want. But I’m sure whichever one I get it will be just as good. And if I get a dud, I know both Amazon and UTG will take care of it.
For the record, I've only had this scope for about 2 moths now, but I've used it every Sunday since then; easily shooting 60 to 80 rounds of both 223 & 300BLk each, that's about 120 to 140 rounds an outing, and still holds true. Even with switching between riffles and mucking with the zero adjustments.

At 100 yards, set to 9x max, or set to 3x min, I hit the gong repeatedly and consistently in just about the same 2 to 4 inch group.
Again, I've had good luck with it so far. If I were you, I’d give another shot, no pun intended.

Still, the clicks are firm and precise and exactly 1/4" @ 100 yards as advertised..which makes sight-in a breeze. I was in the 10 ring on shot number 7. I think UTG takes the nod here. I haven't tried to reset the zero yet, but i suspect it is as with the centerpoint...be careful here and follow the instructions. It wasn't as simple as it seemed on the centerpoint...but it does work and is a nice feature most folks won't care about anyway. BTW, the instructions for that procedure are pretty much word for word with the centerpoint..same factory..i think so.

Both scopes have adjustable objectives that are accurately marked for yardage. Good job. It's nice to be able to range something and set the AO to that range and see it clearly without further adjustment, especially with front adjusting AO. I wish both of these companies could figure out a way to get side AO and keep the prices down...lol.

The eye relief on this is a little over 4 inches down to a little over three...perfect for quick acquisition. This one really shocked me, along with the clarity of the optics for such a cheap scope. I will be able to offset mount my red dot in front of this once i get my quad rail. Long eye relief on the scope really opens up the weak eye field of view for quick target aquisition. Advantage, leapers. Okay, the Centerpoint isn't a CQB scope, so sue me. Quick aquisition is still nice for deer hunting if one pops out in front of you. In fact this one may end up on my .308 next deer season for that reason. Never hurts to be ready.

Anyway, i don't want to send the wrong message about the UTG. It is a fine scope, worth WAY more than 74 bucks. The rings on this thing are QD and extremely heavy duty. I haven't taken them off to see if they maintain zero, but i will when i get my quad rail. I don't have any need to do that at the moment. I'll amend the review if the zero changes. If not call it good. So, one faulty lens cap...which i may contact utg about to test their customer service...and tight controls (which i expect to loosen over time, so how bad is that really?) All in all, I find the UTG new generation compact CQB scope to be a real winner. I am betting utg sends me a new cap for free and all is well.

Don't believe everything you read (including this)...step out and find out for yourself. Shooting on a budget makes it fun for more people. Hats off to UTG (and centerpoint...by Crossman) for bringing quality to the masses.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sehr gutes Preis-/Leistungsverhältnis und Wertig Verarbeitet
Reviewed in Germany on June 28, 2020
Der UTG Bug Buster kostet weniger als die meisten seiner Klasse aber ist jeden Cent doppelt Wert. Die Vergrößerung ist für die meisten Schützen geeignet, und die Objektivlinse ist gut genug, um eine anständige Lichtdurchlässigkeit zu gewährleisten. Die Optik ist überraschend kompakt und für ihre Vergrößerung recht kurz. Ein großes Plus für diejenigen, die kürzere Karabiner oder Plattformen mit begrenztem Platz betreiben. Ich habe das Scope auf einer SLB .223 montiert, auf 50m getestet und war mehr als positiv Überrascht. Kurz: Sehr gutes Preis-/Leistungsverhältnis, Wertig Verarbeitet, Geile Optik... Der UTG Bug Buster ist jeden Cent doppelt Wert.

5.0 out of 5 stars quality Scope at good price
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 10, 2019
Bought for my TX200 air rifle. Recommended as best scope for air rifles. Quite short and light. Used my own scope mounts because I wanted the mounts with an arrest stud. Zeroed in very easily, and has maintained that for several weeks. Like the parallax adjustment, right down to three metres. Nice clear optics and mil-dot reticle. Some complain its a little bit chunky but suits my old eyes. Can be illuminated red or green but have not used that feature. All in all an excellent product at a great value for money price.

5.0 out of 5 stars Klein aber fein. Solide Ausführung
Reviewed in Germany on November 23, 2018
Ich suchte für mein PCP Luftgewehr ein kleines kompaktes Zf da mein 3-18x50 Zf doch recht groß und schwer war knapp 900g das Gewehr allein schon knapp 4kg also hieß es abspecken.Überall wo ich suchte und guckte kam immer wider dieses von Utg mit guten bewertung selbst von Jägern sehr gelobt. Also kurzer Hand bestellt.Die Lieferung erfolgte sehr schnell.Als ich es in der Hand hielt war ich doch sehr überrascht wie klein und leicht es ist ich wollte es ja so fix auf der Weaverschiene montiert und nach knapp 20 Schuss war es perfekt Loch in Loch eingestellt so gefällt mir das.Das Fadenkreutz ist mit Knoten und recht ordentlich auch der Lichteinfall ist bei dem 32er recht gut. Das einzige was mich stört ist die Staubschutzklappe vorn an der Parallaxe bei 180 Grad Drehung muß ich sie abnehmen da die Klappe sonst ans Gewehr stößt oder azf dem Lauf aufliegt und dann ím Blickfeld liegt aber das abnehmen stört mich nicht . Ich kann das ZF nur jedem nahe legen der was kleines leichtes sucht. Klare Kaufempfehlung.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Nice Scope
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 6, 2014
I wanted a new scope for my 10/22 and spent some considerable time reading the many online reviews for the many different scopes which are available. My objective was to get a value for money scope which did not compromise too much on quality. The Bug Buster seemed to fit the bill.

Fitted on to my Ruger and bore sighted it was taken to the range. First shot at 100 yards, just a fraction below and slightly left of the target. A minor adjustment and the second shot was dead on. Having now used it over several weeks I can't really find any fault, honestly very pleased.

4.0 out of 5 stars Gutes Preis- / Leistungsverhältnis
Reviewed in Germany on February 5, 2018
Wegen einwandfreier Lieferung ( Schnell, komplett und fehlerfre ) und guter optischer / mechanischer Qualität die vier Punkte.
Einen Punkt mehr hätte es gegeben, wenn das Absehen einen schärferen / stabileren Anblick bieten wuerde. Besonders Positiv:
Die mitgelieferte Montage entspricht mechanisch ( Stabilität und Toleranz ) und optisch gut meinen Anforderungen.
