I'm debating between this and a UTG 4.0 ITA red dot. does anyone what's better about this one for example field of view, eye relief, etc.

They are both cheap red dot sights. Unlimited eye relieve and your field of view, well its a red dot sight with no magnification so that is on your eyes since its not changing the magnification of what you are viewing. This seems more at the height to cowitness with iron sights on an AR platform and it has the lens covers which are nice.

I debated on this site for quote a while and finally bit the bullet and purchased it. I'm completely satisfied. Unlimited field of view when you keep both eyes open. You really don't notice the site. I like how you can adjust everything ( not sure about the other one you are considering) mine has a slide starburst inside but outside it goes away. Mine came with a cantilever mount but not sure if they all do. I hope this helps

not sure about the red dot scope on the ibex , thinking it would only be accurate at the one distance you lined it up for , where the scope that comes on it has four different settings , I lined my first crosshair at 20 yds. then the 30, 40, and 50 yds. were as accurate as the 20 yds. if you were going to shoot one distance then the red dot may be alright. Hope you understand what I am saying

I have no experience with the UTG 3x on a shotgun, but as usual range of Shotgun is 100 yards or less, I would not suggest the 3x. Rely on the red dot alone unless you are using rifled slugs and want good accuracy out to 100 yards. Do not rely on it in dimly lit situations. Its 28 mm diameter just doesnt carry the light as well as larger tubes.

I have both .177 and 22 cal love them. However depending on how you plan on using your rifle I suggest 1st. get rid of the crappy scope. I installed a UTG 3X9x40 with illuminated GBR mill dot reticle around $70.00 (Optical Planet). Second replace the trigger with a GTX adjustable $30.00 (Air Guns of Arizona) you will be amazed with the difference. If you have to make a choice go with the trigger. I am thinking about adding a sling as these rifles are heavy which is good.Please let me know how things work out.Semper FiMolon Labe CHS USMCL

It is a great sight, I did not have to do anything to it except place it on my rifle and start shooting. It is perfectly "sighted in" from factory up to 150 yards. It is tough as nails and the dot is super bright even under extreme conditions. I have noticed that others have had issues with the sight if they are accustomed to shooting with one eye shut versus both eyes open. Having said all of this, and my two cents worth, the Pro Patrol would be overkill for your blow-back system; a bushnell trophy would work just as good and cost hundreds of dollars less. This sight is designed and built for more demanding platforms. Take care. It is a great sight, I did not have to do anything to it except place it on my rifle and start shooting.

I have several of the UTG scopes and they hold up to recoil just fine! I have them on everything from .22/mag/.223/.270. After thousands of rounds in all calibers I have not had a single failure. The lockable/resetable turrets are great when shooting at differant yardages as you can return to your original zero in seconds without firing a shot! I highly recomend them. I can get sub-MOA groups with my AR platform at 100 yds using a 3-12x42, and sub-MOA at 200 yds with a 4-16x56. Solidly built, accurate and affordable! What's not to like?

This is not a sight, it is a magnifier. It does not have elevation. You place it between your eye and the red-dot/holo/reflex sight and it will magnify the target for you. If you want my opinion, this is the best one for the money hands down. I have had over a dozen of these from different brands over the past few years and this particular one is my favorite. It's not perfect, but it's by far the best one under 200$ that I've found. I have not tried the Vortex magnifier yet, and I hear good things, but it's also 230$ or so... for 100$, get the TMS.

I have used this with an EoTech. Would guess red dots would be Ok, but not a magnified rifle scope, eye relief issues.

Unless your target is 1000 yds away, you won't cover it with the very tiny single dot reticle. The dot circle may obstruct you view a little at normal ranges but you still have 2 other choices and one of them will allow you to get on target fast without obscuring the target. I was just at the range a week ago and was very pleased with how well this sight performs. And yes, the single dot reticle is my first choice precisely because it doesn't obscure the target.

The UTG is Chinese junk. This is a quality scope and the reviews reflect that. I bought two and I own both an Aimpoint M2 and Zeiss scope. However, the UTG mid rise mount is of good quality and I have two of those as well.

Ya know, you gotta weigh out the differences! If $30 is all you can spend, then the UTG isn't bad (I guess) (I own it, and I'm not very impressed with it....but you get what you pay for) The TRS-25 is completely worth it! The guys at the range mentioned they had the UTG and were complaining about how LARGE the "dot" is in the reticle. The TRS-25 is a MUCH smaller dot allowing higher accuracy at the same given range. Just my $.02 Take it or leave it. Later... -Korie G.

1X red dot sights (RDS) typically have unlimited eye relief. If you can see the dot, you can get the hit no matter how close or how far your eye is from the RDS. I placed it at T5 on my full Picatinny and zeroed it in; I now get an approx. 3" grouping at 50yds, which is all I'm after for this gun & sight.

Some UTG stuff is ok but I can not recomend their optics. This is my cheapest optic and it's on my patrol rifle right now. I have a 4x ACOG, Trijicon RX01, 552 EoTech and this to chose from for my patrol rifle. I don't trust batteries so the EoTech, as much as I love the reticle is my last choice. Next is my RX01 with a single cell aaa flashlight aimed at the fiber optics as a back up light source. The ACOG is GREAT outside but my job puts me in the dark more than 90% of the time. This little thing is great for the price. Easier to turn on than the 552, tiny which means it doesn't obscure my vision with both eyes open. It's very robust, dropped my rifle 5 feet onto concrete, zero remained the same. The RX01 is my first choice for worst case scenario instances. Even though this has a battery it is my 2nd choice. The ironic thing is that I have it mounted on a UTG riser so it will co-witness with BUIS. If you are on a tight budget and can afford this and a UTG riser it is you best choice. Main problem I have with it is that the dot on some is perfectly round, some are a red star burst. A good friend bought one on my recommendation, his has a perfectly round dot, mine has the star burst but is still perfectly functional and still good enough to be quite accurate at 100 yards.

I think you be very pleased with redfield, there made by leopold and are very rugged. i have other scope [Nikon and leopold] but redfield is on my Remington VTR .308 deer rife and Im very pleased

Also I think you can look up bdc conversions on Google. Its a great scope for the money. I've owned quite a few rifle and scope setups and this one on my tikka t3 has been my favorite and most useful across the board so far. Haven't found a use for the illuminated reticle yet but its cool to have.

To adjust the red dot you can use a penny or a flathead screw driver. It's an awesome sight. Def lives up to it's name.

If I were you, I would put a good red dot on it. A cheap scope comes with the package. Hope this helps.
