Leapers 5th Gen 4x40 Tactedge Reviews

This scope feels "well made". Only the test of time will tell. I wish there was an auto off on the lighted rec. My son left it on the first time he looked through it. (Though, do you really need the lighting in an airsoft war?)

So far, dollar for dollar, you can't beat this scope if you're on a budget!

Buy It!

good range of sight, easy to zero in.

nothing

BUY THIS SCOPE.....

Looks nice. Seems to be made well.

Leapers makes better scopes. Choose carefully.

I like everything about the scope. The price, fit and finish are outstanding.

I like it the scope exactly the way it is, however I did not use the rings that came with the scope as I have a Beeman one piece scope mount that I like better.

I initially bought a Hawke Airmax 4-12 x 40 AO scope for my Air Arms TX200 MKIII. All I had read about the gun impressed me about how accurate it was. The first shipment of gun and scope arrived and the scope was broken. I returned the scope and received another Hawke 4-12 x 40 scope. The gun never seemed to be as accurate as I expected based on others reviews. I tried several different brands and weights of pellets to see if that was the problem. I never got the gun to shoot anything better than a half dollar sized pattern. I came to believe the problem was the scope and not me, the gun or the pellets. The scope never seemed to hold a zero. I finally decided to bite the bullet and get another scope which arrived today. I didn't want to spend another $140.00 and decided to try a fixed magnification scope instead or a variable one. The scope is a leapers 4x40 Tactedge. It was easy to zero and held the zero unlike the Hawke scope. Now the gun shoots unbelievably accurate as I had expected based on reviews. I can shoot dime sized targets consistently at 25 yards without difficulty now. Finally!

Built in sun shade is great. I bought it for the long eye relief due to my 70 yr old eyes and cant be happier with the eye relief. I'm using it on an RWS-34 & its a good fit . So far I've pumped 200 rds thru it and all is well. The odd part is the product specs here says it has a 35 yd parallax but the box it came in says its preadj is 100 yrds?. The eye piece at the rear has multi turn adj to match your eyes and I had to turn it around 10 turns till my eyes now see from short range out to 100 yrds and its very good focus. Good enough for my weak eyes without glasses.

More sturdy flip up lens covers but after 200 rds they are still holding together. The person who wrote the instructions on the lock down feature is goofy. Very lame instructions that I found simply goofy. Who cares about the lock down anyway. I would have preferred 50mm rather than 40mm. But 40 is OK.

I spent a very long time reading about air gun scopes. The video's provided here were very helpful. As well as reading the different reviews of scopes. I preset the elevation and windage to where it looked right and the first shot at 20 yrd was only 3/4" low. A few clicks and it was dead center. That was the only adj I had to make and it only took two shots to have it sighted in dead center. Very amazing. Entire sighting in took less than 5 mins and I've never sighted in a scope before :-) And I've never shot an air gun before either. Thanks to the video's :-)

Nice scope for the application, well done and made.

I like the easy way to zero out the scope and the overall design of this scope.

I think there are very minor concerns mostly with the mounting of this scope.

The scope is great for any spring airguns it is very accurate and durable.

This scope was included in the sniper rifle package I ordered (a gift). I wanted a sniper that included a scope, and my son is extremely pleased with this one! He was thrilled when he discovered the light-up feature.

If I hadn't been so impressed with Pyramid Air I wouldn't have bothered to post a review, not something I normally do. As a complete novice and first time customer, I wanted to share my exceptional experience with other newbies.

Flip open caps, clear bright lenses.

Use military mil-dot spacing, would like to see it in 6X with an adjustable objective (AO).

Use this scope for smallbore silloutte and works fine. I do not have to adjust windage and elevation when the target range changes.

everything. i bought two of these, one for myself about a year ago, and i just bought another one for my friend for Christmas. This scope is amazing for the money and it could easily cost 3 times as much and still be worth it. with the 4x magnification its perfect for any air rifle because you're not really gonna make any shots farther than 30 yards. I dropped a dove 60 ft up in a tree and 60 yards away, but most air rifles arent too accurate at that range, and you wont make many shots that far.

nothing.

Buy it!

Mil dot reticle, Illumination. Target turrets. Sunshade. Included flip up caps. Cheap price for nice features. How long will they work? For this price, don't expect too much.

Nothing on a scope that is this inexpensive.

This scope works fine for an airsoft sniper setup. Easy to adjust and the fixed power is just enough for the short ranges of airsoft rifles. Illuminated reticle is nice but not needed. Don't bother with the zero lock feature if you are not shooting a high prescision rifle. Trying to get this feature to work correctly in a cheap scope is a waste of time. If you are shooting a high end rifle, buy a leupold or other highend scope. For airsoft this is fine. Pellet guns? Any recoil may beat this scope to death.

Matte-finish, look of scope, externally adjustable windage and elevation turrets, low power 4x40, clear view, nice for the price, I own a Japanese optics $200 Beeman SS-3 short scope and I know how nice that is and this is not bad for a Chinese scope under $65.00 and lifetime warranty.

Illumination too bright and not really necessary, better diopter focusing in for eyes, better instructions for using the locking turrets and maybe a reference mark for the turrets to indicate what I'm dialed too.

Get the right rings, it may need high ones depending on the rifle - I'm using it on a Winchester .22 Wildcat firearm and it does its job.

I bought this with an airsoft sniper and it is a really cool scope. The best part is the illumination of red and green.

I can't zero it in because the crosshairs don't move for some reason.

This is very durrable and it doesn't streak. It also blocks out sunlight well.

It's an amazing scope, all my friends want it ( i mounted it on a P90, go figure)

Maybe variable magnification

Great buy, go for it.

great starter scope good quality and ease of use and zeroing. Illumination is cool too

nothing really

illumination is kinda pointless but look cool

Great optics for the price. It has 2 illumination options (red or green) with 5 different brightness settings (kind of redundant, but it's the thought that counts =P).

The front cover is a bit loose but that is easily fix and is a very minor problem.

This is a great scope! Zeroed nicely and has stayed that way for as long as I didn't mess it up myself.
Great value! Get it! You will not regret it!

Clear optics, wide field of view. Fixed objective and single power makes it simple to use. It holds zero very well. The W&E turrets are large and easy to adjust. The scope is 4 power but I could see the pellet holes on the target better with this scope than with a cheap pair of ten power binoculars.

The directions. I did not understand how to use the zero reset feature. The directions rely on a picture that is too small to easily understand. In the end I just zeroed in the scope at 21 yards and locked the settings where they fell.

The rings are very good. I have this scope mounted on a sheridan blue streak and it matches this rifles capability perfectly.

The price and quality of the scope.

The front flip-up lens cover is too loose but it's easy to fix.

As a test i mounted this scope on a 50 cal. black powder inline rifle and used a
laser bore sighter to sight it in. I fired twenty, 320 grain conicals using 80 grains
of triple seven powder at 50 yards at an outdoor range. The recoil from this load is almost unmanageable. The humidity was at about 98%. The scope never fogged up and after twenty rounds i checked it with the laser bore sighter again and it was right where i had set it.

This is a solid scope with decent optics. It was easily sighted in and has remained accurate. Good value.

The front flip-up lens cover is too loose. Trying to flip up the cover with one hand results is the cover being pulled half of the scope. Running a piece of electrical tape on the inside of the cover actually snugged up the fit.

This scope is rather long. It is great on a full sized rifle but would be a bit unwieldy on anything compact.
