Overview
The UTG 3-12X44 is a 30mm compact rifle scope with adjustable objective, a 36 color illuminated mil dot reticle and included mounting rings. It is a nitrogen filled, sealed tube built for AR platforms and other rifles where a compact, budget priced optic is the goal.
- 30mm tube, nitrogen filled and sealed
- 36 color illuminated mil dot reticle
- Adjustable objective, parallax to 100+ yards
- Includes scope rings and flip lens covers
Who it's for
Fits shooters who want a clear, adjustable optic for an AR or rimfire rifle without paying for a premium brand. Long range precision shooters chasing the best available glass will likely want to step up from this price tier.
Pros and cons
- Adjustable parallax from about 10 yards to 100+
- Turret locking system with adjustable click resistance
- Compact 10.3 inch length suits AR and rimfire rifles
- Some found the adjustment knobs stiff to turn
Performance notes
The tube is sealed and nitrogen filled for fog and rain resistance, and the EZ-TAP illumination system offers red, green and multi color reticle options through 36 settings. The adjustable objective lets you dial parallax from short distances out past 100 yards, and the turret locks let you set click resistance rather than leaving it fixed.
