Reviews from OB: UTG Bug Buster 3-9X32

I said my piece earlier on this particular scope. The elevation/windage turrets crapped out on me. I had it on my 15-22 as well. Maybe I just got a lemon.

I think I'm gonna go P223 on my AR 3-9x40. Thought about the 3x32 but want the extra umph. I've been looking at that UTG also. They do have a lifetime warranty though.

I have the UTG on my 15-22 and haven't had any issues at all. Really like the scope. I haven't put just a ton of rounds through it but have probably put 1000-1500, I guess. Scope has held up perfectly and has maintained it's zero.

I admit I have no personal experience w/ this scope as don't have a scope made by UTG. Nevertheless, I wouldn't recommend one. UTG appears to be made by Leapers. From what I've read Leapers doesn't have much of a reputation for reliability. On a lower recoiling gun like a 223 Rem or 22 LR, I imagine most of the scopes will be ok. Put them on a heavier recoiling gun and I bet one will begin to see problems. Your gun is a 22 so you'll probably be ok so risk it if you want. Since it's just a plinking gun, at least you won't have to worry about the scope failing during a big game hunt or a self defense situation. I'm reminded of the time I put a NcStar handgun scope on a T/C Contender handgun chambered in a round similar to the 308 Win. I'd read all kinds of great reviews from other handgun hunters. After,100 rounds my scope went belly up, resulting in a wounded deer that couldn't be recovered. I sent it back to the factory and they replaced it. I put the replacement on a 22 LR and it's been ok so far. I've not bought an NcStar since nor will I ever do so. If you choose to get it, be sure you've made an informed decision of what you may be getting in to.

Honestly, never used utg and never will unless I get into to airsoft.

IIRC you can use a rimfire or airsoft scope on a centerfire but can't use a centerfire on a rimfire/airsoft. Somebody could have just trying to get by cheaply.

Thanks to all who commented. Looks like I'm going with the Nikon, although I did see a bad arse Leupold last night.

You got that backwards. A centerfire rifle would destroy a rimfire/airsoft scope.
