Any suggestions for a light scope for Prods?

[FuzzyGrub]

Awww, crud, mine has a UM not a UG. Sheesh, this stuff gets soo confusing, ugh!
I'll see how I like this one, and go from there.

I have leapers scopes with wire and etched glass reticles.  The EG is great for better precision shooting at distance.  The wire tends to be a little on the "fat" side, but with your close range shooting might be an advantage.

I found scopes with short eye relief to be an issue for me with the PRod stock. So, I got this offset mount off Amazon and it works great! Plus with this rail mount you won't need the above adapter

Received my UTG BugBuster yesterday, and so far, disappointed. Feels heavier than I thought it would. Mil-dots are way too small and are difficult to differentiate. Looking through the scope, is like looking through some of my cheapo, no-name scopes. Can't use front lens cap if you install the sun shade. I'll use it this weekend and decide whether to return it or not. I suppose maybe I'm been a bit spoiled after using my new Hawke scope for the past several weeks.

Yeah going from a hawke to a UTG bugbuster is going to be way different. As far as the reticle is concerned you can adjust dioper. take off the rear lens cap and focus the crosshairs in. makes it a little better. I guess I didn't have too high of expaections with the bugbuster. It fits my needs fine.

Yep, I wear glasses, so I always have to mess with the dioper. Got it as focused and sharp as it can get. Way too many mil-dots, way too close together, way too small. I'll see how it goes this weekend when I'll be using it more extensively.

Mine does fine on my P-Rod when I put the cross on a nutters head.....

It only took 5 shots to sight it in at 20yds. I like to plink my PRod as well on my home range, which can stretch out to about 60yds, so I use the mil-dots frequently.

Well, I must have been tired from work or something the other evening, because I'm liking the Bugbuster much more now. I was able to put through about 8 magazines yesterday evening, and what I've criticized about, yesterday afternoon, appeared to not be so significant as they were 2 days ago. My biggest complaint, then, was the hard to see mil-dots, but yesterday evening, I was able to distinguish the mil-dots just fine. Perhaps, it was because it was brighter outside yesterday, than the evening before. Anyways, I'm no longer considering returning the Bugbuster. I enjoyed shooting it on the PRod yesterday, and the 9X power had no issue finding the 3" steel target set over 50yds away.

I was just out back shooting my home made 1 inch spinners at 40 yards with mine and practicing some 30 yard off hand shooting on my field targets. I like the bugbuster. Especially on days when I'm dead on.

You might have a look through either one of these:

Dvor is free to join and when they have sales on stuff, especially Hawke, you can save a bundle. Waiting for the next sale on them myself to pick up a couple more Airmax scopes to go along with the 3 I already have.

Thank you, I just now joined. I love the AMX reticle, I guess I just have to accept the weight to get what I want..

Me, too. It does close up stuff like no other, I like my new one, so far.. :-)

I tried all three scopes on my Prod, the 3-9 Bugbuster, the 3-12x44 UTG, and the UTG 4x32 A0.

The Bugbuster is very usable for my needs. I enjoy using it at close range on tiny targets, just as it was designed. So far, so good.

I think Lizzie just got the same UTG 4-32 AO as I did. I like mine a lot, in fact, it is on my Prod now, the best of the three for the job, imo..

The 3-12x44 UTG would not focus at any range, and the glass was very swimmy, I am sending it back. I may try another someday with the etched glass reticle, but for now, I would rather not.

Oh, and I am returning my Prod, also. It won't group with anything, with or without LDC. I trouble shot it all day with some experienced help, and it appears I got one of the lemons. Off it goes! Lol..

Thanks so much for your help, fellas, I appreciate it!!
