Great intro model - Leapers UTG BugBuster 3-9x32mm Rifle Scope

Pros: Great value for the money; clear glass; many accessories included that are not available on most scopes; QD rings are tight, solid and easily adjustable; the mil dot range estimator is accurate, but can fatigue the eyes. Focus and reticle knobs have enough resistance to reduce inadvertent adjustment. Adjustable objective is a bonus, and makes you appreciate the addition. Fits very well on Picantinny rail. Owner's manual is clear and concise.

Cons: Is chunky and heavy in looks and weight; red and green reticles are good when light is reduced but not under bright light situations (thus the sunshade); although compact, you may need needle nose or hooked fingers to get under the eyepiece to pull the charging handle on AR platforms. Fish eye effect is very prominent on my Bug buster and the head must be perfectly aligned on the stock for unimpeded view (a major flaw IMHO) .

So far the scope has performed well on the range, although limited in a few ways as described above. These peculiarities can be overcome, but this is not an optic I would choose to pursue game or depend on for extreme self defense situations. However, as an entry level optic this really is a great value for its quality and what is included in the package. In sum, I would recommend this for limited budgets that want a decent scope will all accessories and intend to use it primarily for plinking and range shooting under changing light conditions.
