Reviews & Ratings for Sniper Grunt 4x20 Compact Rifle Scope w/AR Carry Handle Mount — 18 reviews — Page 1

I just finished zeroing the scope on my new Colt AR15 A4. I like the way it hit at 50 and 100yrds with Frontier 5.56 NATO BTHB MATCH. For the price compared to the Colt reissue at over $350.00, the Grunt held its own for a great price. I don't have local access to 200 to 500 yrd ranges so I can't comment on that yet. The scope was way off Vertically and Horizontally on first shot at 50 yards. But I got it on center with about 10 rounds. After that at 100yrds I had to do a little horizontal adjustment. Bamm great group of 20 rounds. If you want a great looking AR carry handle scope this is it!!

Came out of the box 2 foot right and low, at 100yds, but was able to sight it in quickly and put it to use on the farm. Solid product so far

I bought it as more of a novelty for one of my older A2 style AR15s. I didn’t expect much but it seems like a solid optic. I wasn’t spending 400+ on a colt version of these bc by the nature of it, it’s not for hard tactical use even if you have the colt version. It’s a blast from the past and has a fun factor in my opinion. For the money it’s well worth it.

Shipping to Indiana took 3 days from start to finish. That’s way better than most of their competitors that I’ve used a million times. I can’t really rate them up stars or down stars for the product itself. It is what it is. A2 style carry handle mounted optic. It’s a decent quality colt optic clone. I usually don’t go cheap with scopes but this is more of a curiosity to me than anything. I’m not paying the 400$+ premium price for a pretty lame 4 x 20 optic. This seems well built and should do the job. Time will tell but regardless, optics planet did their job well and shipped with care, quickly.

Right out of the box, the scope feels sturdy for its price point. The 1-inch tube is lightweight (about 10 ounces with the mount), and the included AR carry handle mount is a highlight—it's a quick-detach setup that clamps down rock-solid on standard A2-style handles with no wobble. No need for extra risers or adapters unless you're running a flat-top rail. It comes with flip-up lens covers that are surprisingly durable and spring-loaded for easy access, plus a duplex mil-dot reticle that's etched clearly and illuminated in red or green (battery-powered, CR2032 included). The illumination is basic but effective in low light for quick target acquisition at 50–200 yards.
The fixed 4x magnification strikes a nice balance for close-to-mid-range shooting—enough zoom for precision without the tunnel vision of higher powers. Adjustments for windage and elevation are tactile with audible clicks, and zeroing was straightforward; I got it dialed in with about 20 rounds at 50 yards using Federal 55-grain FMJ.
Performance in the Field
Optically, the glass is surprisingly clear for a budget optic. Colors pop, and there's minimal distortion at the edges, making it great for steel plates or paper targets. I ran a couple hundred rounds through my build (5.56 NATO), and it held zero like a champ—no shifting after a few mag dumps. The mil-dot reticle works well for holdovers, and the illumination helps in shaded woods or dawn patrols. If you're into airsoft or replica builds, it'll nail tha...

I purchased this sniper grunt carry handle scope because I purchased one just like it while on vacation and it is perfect and hold zero well. The one I purchased through optics planet looks good but will not hold zero, the more you shoot it the more it walks to the left. I tried it on a second rifle with the same results. It is in no way or form optics planet fault in this matter but the manufacturer who made it. I have not contacted optics planet yet to talk to them about the issue but they are a stand up company and I know they will correct the issue. Normally this is a very good optic but sometimes you get a bad one. Thank you �

Just what I was looking for, a simple affordable optic that is a good match for my AR. Easy to mount and has good clear glass. I also like that the iron sights are still useable with the scope mounted.

What the pictures don’t show is a giant white logo on the left side that is laser etched. Extremely disappointed and completely takes away from the retro look.

This works really well. I mean it's better than the original ones and looks just like them. It holds zero really well, glass is clear, has as good if not better eye relief than the original ones from 20+ years ago. I mean, yeah it's not like modern scopes eye relief but you have to realize this is based on older technology and as far as it goes I think they've done about the best job that you can with it plus, it's illuminated. I have no complaints. It's perfect for your retro build.

I was pretty happy with this optics. Was not expensive, illuminated red/green and magnified. Great bang for buck. 10 times better than the utg it replaced.

The only thing i didn't like were the lense covers. They were not designed very well and did not fit tightly. They often came off when i tried to open the covers. I wrapped the ends of the scope with a layer of electric tape for a tighter fit but it still doesnt hold tight. Probably will just end up taking them off as they arent really useful.
