Any suggestions for a light scope for Prods?

[.]

I was using the prod to kill red wasps in the lawn this past weekend at about 5 yards.

5 yards wouldn't give me enough time to get up and run when I missed!     Sounds like fun, though.

A neighbor kid is allergic to bee/wasp stings, and we have HUGE bumblebees here, lots of them. Needless to say, my posse has taken to providing 'air support' for the child, ha ha!

The MSPs in my collection get a LOT of insect control work done at my place, lol..

Thanks so much for the help, guys!!

I ordered a Millet SP-1 red dot and B-square rings..

I also ordered UTG 3-12X44 30mm Compact Scope, AO, Mildot, scope. Comes with rings...

And a UTG 3-9X32 1" BugBuster Scope, AO, RGB Mil-dot, with QD rings..

AND, a UTG 4X32 1" Hunter Scope, AO, Mil-dot, w/rings...

And a few more goodies!!

I tried to keep the spending low on this batch of scopes, and I am sure better scopes will replace them eventually, but they all seem to be a good value, so here we go!

Is it Christmas time already?

It is ALWAYS Christmas at my place, lol.

There is no wrong time to do nice things, or to buy nice things, for ourselves, or the ones we love!!!

Ok I think you misunderstood how this recommendation thing works. We didn't mean for you to buy everything suggested lol.

You did get the CQB version, correct? Not all 3-9 X 32 Bugbusters are created equal....

What exactly is the CQB feature?

Close Quarters Combat- what they named it to separate it from the original.
Longer eye relief than the original
No battery bay above the eyepiece/less clutter, with illumination moved to a turret.

Hmmm...

I ordered this from Amazon:

The picture of it is identical to the picture of the CQB Bugbuster shown at PA, and the same items come with it, I thought they were the same thing. When I copied and pasted the scope name off of PA and pasted it into the Amazon search box, the only scope that came up was the one I ordered..

If it is not the same, I'll get one of the CQB ones from PA, or Optics Planet, with my next order, and compare their performance and features side by side, so, no worries, either way.

A gal can't have too many scopes, can she? ;-)

Ahhhh, I seeee...

Ok, hmm, well, ya shoulda spoke up before I hit the 'buy now' button, ha ha!!

We gotta lotta guns around here, air and otherwise, Phil, they'll all get used on something, somewhere, sooner or later, I promise!!

I like your style. That's the way I do it. Get everything and return the ones you don't like.

Might as well get a Leupold Crossbones 2-7x33 while your at it!
Only 9.9 ounces


I think paralax is set at 35 yards. But should be clear up pretty close when set at 2x.

Hmm, I'd have to see if Leupold will re-parallax it in the custom shop, and for how much, but I do like Leupies! I've done a few cheapie scope re-parallax jobs, lol, but no, Ima leave this to the pros!

There will certainly be a 3-9x33 EFR on at least one of these by the time I am done with them, and I am hoping to have a mil-dot reticle installed on at least one, too. I do love great glass, to me the optics are as important as the pellet launcher, so once a gun is 'done', the only way for me to make shooting it any better is to get amazing optics for it. On my personal weapons, I budget as much for glass as for the gun. On 'loaners', guns being tuned, and guns for young ones to use, I play it safe with less expensive scopes..

Thanks for the suggestion!

You sure you don't need to adopt a brother?  I'm handy with tools and can mow a lawn and clean windows like a champ. 

On a serious note, I have a couple of those cheapie scopes.  I don't expect miracles for $30.  I do have a CV Life scope with mildots- not good for longer ranges as the dots are kind of big, but it is lightweight, has great clarity, a decent FoV, and did I mention cheap?  For shorter-range pesting (40 yards and under) it has been great.  For cutting holes in paper, the mildots are too big unless you have a shotgun

and 39M- I've peeked at those a few times.  Can't seem to finish clicking the "buy" button when I got other things to waste spend money on.

That's the correct version.

I almost bought a barely used one with some fifty dollar rings on it for $225. But I left it under the glass.

That's the correct version.

Yay!! 

It'll be here Thursday! :-)

 Looks like Chickie has some "Glass" lol

I've got the UTG 3-12x44 compact with the etched glass reticle.

+1 for this awesome nice UTG scope!  Had this scope on a MM tuned 25 caliber underlever springer, had it on my 25 caliber synrod and now on my 22 caliber prod. 

The feature I like and use the most on it is the side adjust parallax which will adjust down to 10 yards.  It is crystal clear with a large field of view, aside from the weight it brings a lot of quality for the money invested, I would buy another in a heartbeat when I need another scope.

On a prod with the shoulder stock, this compact scope is quite balanced, and you aren't reminded of it's weight because of the balance.



Model number SCP3-UGM312AOIEW $149 and free shipping from Pyramid Air.

You WILL need an adapter kit to go from Picatinny scope base to Weaver dovetail to use the rings that come with this fine scope:  UTG .22/Airgun to Picatinny/Weaver Low Pro Snap-in Adaptor 2PCs/Set MNT-DT2PW01

DougGuy,

I found one on Amazon for $101, so I ordered it and the adaptor set. Thank you!

Heya Chickie, check the model/UPC code on your $101 scope from Amazon, there is one model that looks JUST like this one, except it does not have the etched glass reticle, UG in the model number means glass if it doesn't have UG it's a wire reticle and not etched glass..  When I looked on Amazon, the right one with etched glass was $147..

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.

Thanks for the info!!
