Page 5 - UTG Bug Buster Compact CQB Reviews

It was easy to adjust,very clear and very good quality for the money. The lens caps were better quality than i expected and fit perfectly. Iam going to buy these scopes for my hunting rifles. George istik,PGH

Compact enough not to throw off my daughters savage rascal. SOLID in everyway plus you get all the extras, the scope rings are trick! Worth the money!

Nothing.

Great for a smaller platform, but for $30 more you could get the 4x12.

Compactness. Perfect for Pistol Field Target. Light weight helps too. Clear glass and excellent adjustability close up.

Should include airgun mounts.

Get it for your pellet pistol, hunting or target model.

When you can purchase a well made scope, made from Aluminum Billet and also get H.D. Rings, Sun Shade and best of all, parallax adjustment down to 3yds, plus Red/Green Illuminated, Air Rifle approved. With a price that won't break the bank and ordered from a company like Pyramyd Air. What more do you want ??

Nothing

Nothing to add.

Nice optics for the price and great adjustability for short range shooting.

The compact size can be good and bad thing. I mounted mine to a P-rod and had some issues getting the scope back far enough for proper eye relief. I bought BKL medium height single strap mounts (BKL-257MB) and they fit perfectly on the rear portion of the dovetail which fixed the issue. As others have mentioned, Adjusting parallax is a bit difficult and I am hoping it will loosen up after some use as it is very hard to turn.

I have a Hawke 3013 on my CSS 2400KT and am still debating on swapping the Bugbuster for one of those... but the 3 yard focus is hard to beat so it will probably stay on the gun.

Excellent lenses clarity on all zoom levels, build materials and design is top notch, a quality scope of this caliber is a steal. The zoom adjustment stiffness is actually a feature, because this scope was made to accommodate high caliber rifles. Do not think twice buying this scope, I am satisfied, wow for the Sniper Turrets feature, Kill Flash Shade and QD Scope Rings.

None

This is a very good compliment for your PCP Rifles specially the P-ROD. :))

Nice compact size and great focus for close range shooting.

As others have reported, the rear magnification adjustment is very tight. I can only hope it will loosen up after some use. The eye relief is also a bit short and when using on it any Crosman with their stock (like a P-rod or 2400KT)it takes some time to get the scope optics aligned with my eyes.

I installed this on a P-rod and the eye relief seems a bit short with mounts split over the magazine slot. The scope almost needs to go back another inch or so. I am still not sure if I will keep it on this gun, but I may try either an offset mount or see if the BKL mounts will allow for it to be mounted on the rear portion of the breech. I am using a Hawk 3013 on my 2400KT and that scope seems to work a lot better for a Crosman steel breech/stock set-up gun.

Quality is superb for this scope price, sniper turret features, perfect lenses clarity on any zoom levels, the Zoom adjustment stiffness is actually a design compliment for the shock proofing of this scope from hi power rifles. Hi grade Scope Rings, Protective Lense Covers and Kill Flash Sunshade included, PERFECT!

Nothing to change, its all a well thought product design.

Its not only for Airguns, its also for any .22 lr rifles out there like the Ruger 10/22 in particular.

This scope is just about the best piece of optics for the price that you can get. The parallax adjustment works really well. The crosshair illumination is great. I bought this scope and also the EZ-tap 3x9 and I think the crosshair illumination on this model is superior. The Weaver rings that are provided are nice.

Nothing

Because this is a compact scope you are limited on the spacing of the Weaver rings. I had a difficult time making the fit to the slots on the Weaver rail. I ended up using UTG 11mm to Weaver adapters and that solved the problem

Got this scope mounted on my fiance's Air Venturi Bronco and she loves it.

We both could care less about having illumination.Would rather have side wheel focus.

This scope is perfect inside 25yds and unbelievable inside ten. You can really pick off the insects with the clear close range optics. Excellent size for a ladies rifle.

I bought this scope because it said it can focus down to 10 feet. And it can. My basement is about 25', so I don't need the 10' minimum. But a 10m scope is just a tad too "long" for my basement. It's also good at 25 yards, which is the longest range I've shot it so far. Indoors or out, the image is clear, the reticle is easy to see, the illumination is nice.

Adjusting parallax and zoom are both a bit difficult. (Zoom is harder than parallax.) I hope this loosens up a bit, as I use the scope more. It's only about a month old now.

I like the fact that you can focus to 3 yards and i like the windage and height adjustments.

Needs better glass and something about the adjustable objective is not right, the focus seems to change by itself. Something may be loose inside. But for the money I guess you have to expect these things. Also as you move away from center of lens the focus becomes fuzzy.

Personally this is the only budget scope i will buy, i was not happy with the glass.

This is a Great little scope that has a very flexible eye relief. It is very light and compact, even with the sunshade on.

Sunshades should be able to hold the lens flip cover, but none of them do!

AO, lighted reticule, locking turrets, clear central image.

A thinner reticle. The image distorts some at the edges.

I have this scope on my Hammerli 850 (v accurate) and its not enough power and the reticle is to coarse for the accuracy of the gun when shooting 25yds or more.

Compact size works great on carbine sized airguns, I bought 2. Focus at short distances which makes it nice for a short basement range. I use my on 3x at 5 yards, longer in the yard. Have one on a Talon SS and one on an Air Arms S510 carbine, both purchased from Pyramyd. Sharp optics. Illumination works well on black shoot-nc targets. Dust covers for both ends work nice and look cool in a tactical way.

My rifles don't have weaver mounts, so the rings provided do me no good. I bought Leaper medium rings for 3/8" dovetail here for an additional $10 bucks per set. I have poor vision and the mill dots are a little hard to see, but they work.

Nice little scope and a great value. Take time to read the instructions, there is a hand-tighten lock-nut for elevation and windage adjustments.

compact size... a.o... locking lugs, lighted cross hairs... clear glass... perfect magnification... nothing i don't like about it.

nothing

this scope is well worth the money... don't cost what it could, comes thru, everytime! already made some great shots with it.

Because it has short eye relief, it’s easier to find the optical center than on other scopes which makes for quicker acquisition. I’ve owned another Bug Buster scope for about 5 years and have used it on several different guns. I think it’s the perfect size and weight on any gun that I shot 50-70 yards max.

Quick release scope rings need to be replaced with standard scope rings because they are too bulky and have inconsistent clamping force.

Very disappointed with the quality of this scope when compared to the older one. The turret adjustors have a gritty feel and are sometimes hard to turn for no apparent reason. I optically centered the scope before ever mounting it and still had to use 2/3 of the total adjustment on both the up/down and left/right to get the cross hairs lined up. This is on a gun that I know the scope rail line is in line with the barrel. Definitely thinking of getting it replaced.

Great Size and weight. Clear at all ranges and the ability to adjust the AO for real close range makes it great for clearing out backyard pests. I mounted mine on my P-Rod and it just clears the opening in the receiver for the magazine. My favorite UTG/Leapers Scope I own. It makes a great addition to the P-Rod keeping it light and very maneuverable in carbine form.

I slightly longer tube say 1/2 or 3/4 of an inch just to give you a bit more adjustability, and clearances. Maybe the EZ-Tap illumination system UTG offers.

Works great with Medium rings on the Crosman/Benjamin PCP rifles and Pistols.

Close focusing, lighted reticle

Nothing

Picatinny mount, will need to adapt/buy different mounts. Should be offered with 3/8ths mounts.

Everything! This is great scope.

Nothing.

The clarity, especially at close distances, is outstanding. This scope is a great bargain.
