Need Advice: UTG Bug Buster Compact CQB for Banjamin PROD?

[Senor Ramon]

Hello all:

Thank you for letting me join. New here to the forums and new to air guns but not new to fire arms.

I just purchased and am waiting to get a PROD delivered. Also ordered an AR15 stock and a BSA red dot (for under 15 yards pesting, some plinking).

I am still searching for a scope under $150 for a little longer range (under 50 yards). The UTG Bug Buster Compact CQB seems compact and has good reviews for its price point.

So my questions are:

1. Would you recommend it in carbine form for the PROD?

2. The PROD has dovetails. Do I need to purchase different rings? If so, what size, so it will clear the magazine?

2. Any alternatives at that price point?

Thanks, Ramon

If you do order a bug buster just order it with the rings you need. Can be had in dove take and pic rail.

I have one on my gamo urban it's very light and compact. It really forces you to have proper sight picture or you see the scope body.

I have the 2-7x32 Hawke on mine. The glass seems clearer than my many Bug busters I have.

I originally put a 3-9x32 BugBuster on my Prod but swapped it to a 3-9x40 AO Hawke Vantage. With the 1399 skeleton stock I found that the BugBuster was just a little too short and didn’t give me a very comfortable eye relief. The BugBuster works great on my bullpup Prod though.
Happy shooting

The vector veyron 3-12 sfp is about the same cost as a new bugbuster and is suppose to be way nicer.  I'm very happy with my 3-9 and 3-12 bugbusters. I unfortunately dont own a prod so I cant comment as to fit.

Oh I should also note that I have a 3x9 and to clarify what I said earlier sight picture also includes eye relief. In my opinion you cannot be sloppy with this scope which also IMO makes it better for repeatability.

I do not like to shoot my urban out past 30y, under 30 I am good, with much expectations I shake bad. At 30-50y the urban and my 3x9 really is pushing it for me. At 75y and I have done it and a friend can vouch I can hit a 10" target but I have to aim like 3 feet above it.

+1 Vector Veyron. Edgun Spain sells them and ships very fast. $210 to your door

I have the 3-12x32 Bugbuster on my P-rod in medium rings. It works great on the P-rod. Eye relief is not a problem.

 Bug Buster 3-9 been on my Prod since I got it, no need for anything more, compact scopes are known for shorter eye relief. Hits what I point it at every time.  Rings are UTG Medium Dovetail BTW.

[Senor Ramon]

Thank you guys. Thank you for all of your replies. I purchased the UTG bug buster. It seems like it will be delivered before the gun arrives.

The PROD looks nice with small scopes, yes.

[kbstingwing]

for your price range I would go with a Athlon Optics Neos 4-12x40 Second Focal Plane Riflescopes



and 1" Medium rings.

or a Athlon Optics Talos 3-12x40 Second Focal Plane Riflescopes

Not a PROD (stainless Don Cothran 2260 PCP), but you get the idea:

The bug buster is a perfect match for the Prod. So compact and lightweight. It's like it was designed for the prod.

[fivestar45]

I used a CVLIFE 4X fixed compact on my P'rod carbine. Now $29.00 on Amazon.

I target-shoot with mine, so the fat reticle of the UTG BB does not work for me.

My Clearidge RMs have ultra thin reticles, BTW.

[AKM]

The newer model of the bug buster with AO has a nice thin reticle. The older models were ridiculously fat.
