Reviews & Ratings for UTG Pro Add-on Index Side Wheel for AO Scopes — 18 reviews — Page 1

Although the Side Wheel (SW) itself is well made it did not fit my Scope.

I purchased this Side Wheel, SW080B, for my 3-12x44 UTG OP3 Scope as I thought I read was the correct Side Wheel (SW) !

I get this SW and Wham-Bam try as I might, it will not go on the Side Turret.

What am I doing wrong, I even laid it out in the sun to warm it up and that did nothing to help.

I have angled the Wheel, applied pressure in the opposite direction, it didn't go on, "3-12x44 UTG OP3".
Which one actually fits I am not sure !

UTG replied to a contact saying that this is the incorrect SW for my OP3 Scope; sometimes it just is better to talk to the manufacturer.

The correct SW for the 3-12x44 OP3 Scope is the "UTG Parallax Index Wheel for OP3 Scopes, 80mm Diameter".

It does what it is intended to do. It gives you finer control over the parallax wheel on an AO scope. But there are two problems with it. Neither are deal breakers but people should be aware of them.

The first is that the mounting system is not well engineered. The wheel has a rubber insert that fits over the ribbed parallax wheel. And it is a good fit. But to hold it on tight there are two set screws, which are too narrow. They don't press the rubber against the inner wheel as obviously intended. Instead they screw straight into the rubber. And they are too short to actually hold to the metal of the inner wheel.

But if you don't mind using some good non-permanent glue (like Goop brand) it does hold on well and you can pry it off if you really need to.

The second potential problem is the size. I am happy that I did not buy the larger wheel. I bought the "compact" UTG scope, not the full-length model. And with the compact scope, there is only room for slightly more than 60mm between the scope rings. And the wheel is 60mm diameter.

It fits between... but I am serious when I say just barely. If you get the compact model scope the larger wheel would not work at all, unless you used vertical-split scope rings, which are not very common.

This adjustment wheel converts your UTG scope into a near accurate range finder for varmint hunting when using flat shooting rifles, saves time and aids target selection. No need to fumble around between a range finder when distance markers are not available, just adjust your UTG scope to a near perfect clear image and glance at the yardage marker on the wheel, make the correct mil-dot adjustment and your are on target.

As described easy install and sure makes it nice for parallax adjustment.....................----------------------------------//////////////////////////////././///////./:--::-----/--////////://-/--/----------//

Works good, Makes fine adjustments easier. OpticsPlanet good to deal with. ........ ... .................... ................................ ...............................................................................................................

Not too big and not too small but just right. I prefer this size as opposed to the 60mm and 100mm wheels available for the UTG SWAT scopes. Very simple installation. MUCH easier to adjust your parallax than just using the knob that's on the scope.

This large adjustment ring is very nice. Does what it is supposed to do, where it really stands out though is how it impresses onlookers at the range. People don't know what it is or does and it looks really impressive on your rifle.
I know that doesn't sound like much of a performance review, but if you are looking for that "wow" factor. It delivers.

if you have a UTG Scope with side Parallax adjustment, you need this Big Wheel, they come in several different sizes and fit to the side parallax adjuster on your UTG scope, it makes it easy to adjust the focus to a very fine degree with it's large size, it is a must, has alignment markings to match your scope yardage and secures with 2 allen screws with the included allen wrench,

Makes it easier to adjust your AO scope. Not too big...if I had to do over again, probably would buy the same but might consider buying the 80mm one. Overall its a nice size and makes it a lot easier than adjusting the little knob, especially if shooting off-hand.

Looks and works great on my UTG 4-16X44 Compact Tactical Scope. Remember to align the 00 on the side wheel with the 00 on the scope. Push on,tighten,and done! I am also going to purchase the UTG 80mm side wheel. The reviews are good on that side wheel also. Want to see which one will work and look the best on my scope. Either way they are winners!
