HatsanUSAOptima 3-9X40AO Scope, Black

UPDATE 4-10-2017I now have 4 of these. The optics are not perfect on all of them. They are all well focused in the center where it counts. The calibration marks on the AO lens is not very accurate. 10 meters is best set at 17 yards on one of them. Not a big deal, just focus it till the cross hairs remain centered when you move your eye. They are by far the best improvement you can make to a break barrel air rifle for $40. I installed one on my 25 cal. Hatsan  Hatsan Edge Air Rifle, Vortex Piston, Black air rifle  and my shot groups shrunk in half.Update: 4-6-2017: I mounted one of these on my Benjamin Prowler.  Benjamin Prowler Nitro Piston Air Rifle, 0.177-Calibre  OMG almost PCP performance from a break barrel. (last 2 pics) I ordered 2 more.First impression....absolutely great! will update.This is a very nice product. I mounted it on a Benjamin Maximus 177 cal. Pellet gun with great results. The AO lens allows sharp focus at any target range. The mill dots are just icing on the cake. The mounts do not include a stop pin, so if you are mounting this on a springer that does not have a stop block you will want to get a different mount. Not a big deal, just be aware of it. My PCP air rifles are my test mules for scopes. The pictures of my targets shot with this scope but they are very boring. The 20 dot MyTargets.com target has nothing out of the black. Ten shot groups half the size of a dime are the norm. The scope is perfect for its price point. The focus and zoom turn smoothly and the elevation and windage knobs work as they should. The relative lightness of the scope and the low mounts will effect the hold of break barrel rifles much less than heavier hardware would. I will move it to my brutal Hatsan 125TH and do some further testing. This is the best $40 3 x 9 x 40 AO scope I have ever seen. Hatsan has hit one out of the park with this one. (I must admit, I am a huge Hatsan fan, I have 7 of their break actions rifles)

Put in a gamo wildcat whisper 1300fps seems like a decent scope. Just sighted it in but decent for now.

I purchased this scope to replace the one on my .22 caliber Benjamin Prowler Nitro-piston break barrel with some trepidation. Springers are notoriously hard on scopes and while a gas-piston is smoother than a mechanical spring system I was still a little worried. After mounting and zeroing I've put about 300 or 400 pellets through the gun. The scope has maintained zero well and I've had no issues at all. I think it will hold up to the NP but can't say whether it would do as well with a magnum springer.The range of 3-9x is excellent for most distances at which an airgun would be used. I really like the AO feature but the actual range doesn't match the numbering on my scope. For instance at 25 actual yards the scope reads about 20. This isn't a big deal for me as I don't use the scope as a rangefinder and the focus isn't pinpoint anyway, that is when focused at 25 yards it also looks pretty sharp at 30 yards.The mil-dot reticle is nice and makes holdover or holdunder easy once you've shot at various distances and have measured the drop. At this price of course you can't expect it to be a first focal plane scope so the drop versus mil-dots will change as you zoom but that is the case with most scopes.The image is nice and bright and also pretty sharp. There is some loss of focus at the edges of the sight-picture but it is surprisingly good.It would be nice if the elevation and windage adjustments could be finger turned but that is really a nit-pick at this price.All-in-all I am very satisfied with the scope!

This scope is Amazing, its easy to sight in, i did think it was gonna have a longer view but it still works great, i used it on a Hatsan Flash QE PCP and it fit great without extensions

Horrible optics quality.... only very center of scope even remotely viewable. Impossible to sight in on “springer” air rifle..... each shot and the POI (point of impact) is Different. Rings/mounts are even worse quality than the scope. I was considering a Hatsan air gun..... but after seeing the terrible quality of their scopes... I’ll pass.

I mounted this to a .22 Benjamin marauder, the glass is okay for its price, sighting it in was easy. I've had it on there for a good bit now and it still holds zero making dime sized groups at 20 yards, going good so far.

I Only just installed it. But hugely improved clarity and brightness compared to the basic 4x Gamo scope I took off my new Whisper Swarm 10x. Will update when I get to test it on the range.

Nothing to dislike. Great product, bought several hatson scopes great value and great optics. Would recommend

the quality is very good/robust. I recommend...
