There have been complaints of a misaligned reticle, has anyone experienced or heard of this?

Kristen i had one it work good for about 3 months then all at once it went off target a foot at 25 yards on a 22 cal airgun i called the company they told me how to ajust it but it still would not hold so i sent it in they said it was bad they sent me a new one at no charge so it looks like they have a good warranty.

i have not had any problems with mine. attached to ar15 5.56 and shot many times.

Mine is slightly off, perhaps 2-3 degrees. some have complained about that will cause elevation or windage adjustments to change too. Yes, that is correct to a point. Let's stay that worse case scenario, the turrets and reticle were canted 45 degrees off from each other. That would mean any elevation or windage would equally effect both. But for every 1 degree, that would only result in 1/45 of a change in the other. that equates to .02" for every inch of elevation/windage. So if the scope has 1/2" per click adjustment at 100 yards, One click of windage/elevation would result in (unwanted) .01" in elevation/windage movement with a reticle that was canted 1 degree off. Even at 5 degrees, that is still only .05" (1.2mm) at 100 yards. The point is if that small of an offset really matters to anyone, they should not be buying a $90 scope in the first place.

Kristen I can't answer or explain other folks' problems no more than I can answer if their scopes were mounted correctly. I can say that I've never had problems of any kind with UTG equipment other than their rheostats being a bit irritating sometimes. So far, I've not had any problems with the scope in question. The scope has performed perfectly from day one and I've put a bunch of rounds down range and it remains perfectly reliable. Is it the equal of a $2000.00 scope....obviously not, but it does work quite well and the glass is satisfactory. Just my cents worth. Paul

I have had this mounted on my AK47, many shots down range. Less than 1" at 50yrd and less than 2" at 100 yrd. Friend mounted one on his AK with the same results, he just bought one for his AR15, and I'm getting one for mine. Several negative reviews out there, but I can't speak to other peoples installation/mounting or use. Mine and friends work great, holding up to AK47 recoil, multiple disconnects and banging around in /out of trucks. Still holding zero after 8 months. Buy it, price is good and it works.

Although this scope is "shockproof" ... airguns have special scopes designed for them for a reason... The recoil is totally different on airguns and the parallax is set for 50 yards.. Not 100 yards like a true rifle scope (as this is)... You should have no problems with this scope at all.

No issues as if yet. I have it on a UTG 5th Gen SKS Hi-Profile See-thru Integral Ring Mount (mounted on an SKS). Reticles are fine. Of course, we'll see down the road, but as of now, it's fine.

I read about this complaint in posts prior to me buying this scope. I did not experience this problem. Mine is mounted on a 1" riser to get above the battle sights. I had it bore sighted at my local gun shop and he thought the scope was fine. I zeroed it at 100yds on my AR15. It was shooting 1.5" groups. As Paul replied it will not compare with the more expensive models but it does a decent job for the price. I do have to get out and shoot again as the last time I went it was shooting almost 3 MOA high. There was a 30mph wind blowing so the next time out I will see if it was the wind or the scope not holding zero. I read about this complaint in posts prior to me buying this scope.

If the red dot is out of round, it is a reflection off the inside of your barrel, which means your boresight is really messed up. There is a video in the reviews that shows your problem. My problem is,the back end of casing is to small, allowing the back end of the bore sight to move up & down & side to side.

I think there is a warranty. Get in touch with diamond archery. My peep sight gets out of line sometimes and I just make sure it is aligned by sliding up or down before I draw then it lines up when drawn.

Are you using a scope? Or any kind of iron sight? It may appear to shoot to the left but it may be your scope adjusted wrong. And I have also had issues with that. I replaced it with a higher tension spring which helped it shoot a lot straighter. Hope this helps

If you're are talking about a double projection of the reticle...then yes, slightly. The dot seems to be the clearest and least problematic with this HWS.

I also had a problem getting the scope to fit my rifle properly. So, like the other readers of this problem, I took it to my local gun range and they fit it perfectly. I had to purchase another mount , so now I have no problem.

From what I learned doing research on this, the construction of the lens in the scope would normally cause distortions in colors unless corrected. It's a feature on better scopes. I've used this scope extensively and it's very clear and I have not seen any issue with accurate color.

I did not get my sight on perfectly straight. I have yet to get it to the range to see if it is good enough. My last sight had the same issue, so I'm not inclined to blame the sight. You might want to have a gunsmith stick it on for you. You might have better luck if you have a gun vice. I was afraid to use a vice myself. Well, that's my story.

When I first got mine I thought the reticle was moving around on me as I moved my head around but once I flipped up my iron sights that cowitness with the reticle I realized it wasn't moving all that much. In order for it to really affect me I'd need to shoot from an awkward position so I haven't had an issue with it yet

it's been a while since i had one. it'd be best to verify that the mfr or importer warrants that the scope will withstand airgun recoil or they will repair or replace it. some do, and some don't. you wouldnt want to be left with no recourse if it can't stand up to the hatsan.

focus on the target, not the dot. it should be clear then. if not, send it back for a replacement.

Mine was just out of warranty when this happened and I had to send it back and pay for the repair. The rear sight was broken when I got it back.

I had no issues with mine. I have had that issue with other rifle scopes. I lightly tapped on the turret with my multitool. Sometimes reticles get stuck. Lightly tapping will jar them loose. If that does not work...exchange it.

I have a reflex sight in front of mine. I adjusted the magnifier so the red dot was centered

Hey Mathew T. The same thing happened to my scope. You get what you pay for I guess... and no u couldn't make a replacement because you wouldn't be able to move the crosshair with the turrets and you would have no way of zeroing the scope

Paul...me again, look up 4 plex. that is what the reticles look like on this scope. hope that helps.

That is an inherent problem in ALL red dot style sights. The Lucid has other reticles to help with that, but if you are looking to go super long distance you should run a scope with crosshairs. If you're shooting a small target from long range and red dot scope may obscure the target. I use mine for 200 yards and less and haven't had a problem at all. For my long distance gun, I run a Nikon scope with crosshair reticle.
