Reviews & Ratings for Leapers AccuShot 4-16x56mm Illuminated SWAT AO Rifle Scope — 9 reviews — Page 1

great scope.
very clear and precise optics, love the laser etched mil dots.
illumination is great, though all the color selections is kinda cool but by no means necessary.
hold zero exceptionally well.
for the money you cant even come close

Nice looking scope till I looked through it. Extremely "fish eyed". Replacement ordered with extremely slow service, when received,replacement scope lens very blurred. Returned for refund which has not been received yet. Don't know if these are seconds or just a bad batch of scopes. Have excellent service with Leapers 4 16x44 scopes.

I love this scope. It has a huge 56mm front lens for a wide field of view and it seems to have very good clarity even at long range. I haven't had the chance to shoot with it yet but just using it to spot down range several hundred yards has impressed me with the clarity of view and magnification. The adjustments seem to be very positive in their feel as well. It has removable flip up covers on both ends which is nice if you dont like all that hanging up in your face. It is a very long scope. I had to use some offset and taller mounts to position it farther forward on my LR308 so I could access the charging handle.

I got this scope to replace the $80 3-9x40 that I had on my custom Mosin Nagant. This scope is much more powerful getting me on target at distance much easier. The large 56mm objective gathers tons of light and the image even in the higher settings is crystal clear. The return to zero turrets and AO are all positive click adjustment and easy to use.
I didn't think I would be getting much improvement going from a really cheap scope to a relatively cheap scope, but for under $200 you really cannot get a better scope! yes it is that good. I'm writing this review and I haven't even played with the 36 color reticle yet!. The scope also comes with high quality rings, and lens covers. I really cannot recommend this scope enough! If you are looking for a really nice optic for not a lot of money this is it.
The only thing bad about it could be it is a little heavy. but that is it.

Based on the price of this scope, I was expecting it to be "Toy Grade". I am pleased to report that it is of higher quality than I expected.
My only complaint so far is this; When you have the reticle illumination set to its maximum brightness, you can see what appears to be a lot of dust on the optics. However, at lower brightness settings, this is not noticeable.
I would never use the maximum brightness setting anyway because it is just way to bright for the low light conditions in which you would need an illuminated reticle, so I don't see this as being a show stopper.
Other than that, it does appear to be well built. I have only put about 30 rounds on it (.308) but it has held zero thus far.
Elevation and windage turrets have a solid feel with well defined clicks.
The power ring is extremely tight and difficult to turn, but the movement is smooth. I expect it will loosen over time.
Be Warned. This is a Big, Heavy scope.
The included rings were quite a bit too tall for my setup, but hey; It came with Rings!

All things considered, I think this is a good scope for an entry level shooter on a limited budget.

Been waiting for months. Called numerous times. Have been no help at all. They say keep waiting. Have no date in when the product will be coming in. I do not thing this is a good business practice. Scope may be fine,Optics Planet I have questions about... Stan
Pros: none
Cons: none

Best scope you can buy for under $200. Good quality glass and coatings. Lots of features. Easily comparable to scopes at twice the price.

Only downsides are the turrets and 36 color mode. The turrets have some travel, however slight, before engaging clicks when turned. Clicks are quite crisp and clean, though.
36 color mode is gimmicky and difficult to maneuver through. Red/green work perfectly, despite this.

All in all, it is a great scope I highly recommend.
Pros: Lots of features. Low cost. Best value.
Cons: Turrets have some slack. 36 color mode takes some navigation practice.
