Whether you’re a hunter or a target shooter, you might need a scope for your handgun. Especially as hunters use their pistols to take down game on an increasing basis the need for good quality handgun scopes is increasing, and answering that call is Leapers/UTG. Earlier this year the company put out their very first long-eye relief scope, and now they’re putting out a model similar to that of what they call the “classic” scope style customers use most.

The new scope is the SCP-1254PRGW, and it’s designed for versatility. It can be used at close range with the 1.25X power or farther out at 4X; eye relief is anywhere from 14″ to 26″. According to the company the scope performs well with a variety of calibers including larger calibers and is easy to use. The reticle is a duplex style which Leapers/UTG cites as a popular customer request, especially among hunters, and the scope has a 35-yard preset parallax. If you’re in the market for a scope for your handgun, this new offering from Leapers/UTG could be just what you need. As a hunter having a scope allows for faster target acquisition and greater speed and accuracy, which is certainly important for a clean kill, and target shooters also benefit from the increased accuracy of having a scope mounted on their handgun.

From Leapers/UTG:

In the beginning of 2015, Leapers UTG released their first long eye relief handgun scope SCP-27PRGW. It has become a huge success and has been well received by hunters and sport shooters alike. It’s still 2015 and Leapers has released their next foray into the handgun optics market with a new scope that takes from the classic styling that so many of our enthusiasts are accustomed to.

Built on a 1″ tube and featuring 1.25-4X power magnification with a 32mm diameter objective, the SCP-1254PRGW is for sure to become a handgun favorite. The lower 1.25X power allows close up shots with both eyes open, while the 4X power guarantees shots on target at longer distances. Capable of providing a generous 14″ to 26″ of eye relief, shooters of any size can comfortably bring this scope to bear without compromising their shooting stance. As testified by many customers, a Leapers UTG True Strength (TS) platform pistol scope will hold up to the most punishing of calibers and this new offering is no exception to the lineage of TS platform Leapers UTG optics. The featured duplex style reticle is a staple in the hunting community and comes directly as a request from our customers. Your request was heard and we have answered the call. The 35 yard preset parallax is optimal for handgun engagement distances most commonly found in target shooting and hunting. The emerald coated lenses ensure excellent light transmission and clarity in low light environments. The excellent low light capability is further augmented by adjustable red and green illumination which can be configured for brightness intensity via a dedicated side wheel turret.

Standard for Leapers TS platform, the optic is shockproof, fogproof and weather resistant as a direct result of being completely sealed and nitrogen filled internally. The windage and elevation turrets of this scope adjust in ½ MOA increments. The ocular lens is adjustable and can be locked to retain the ideal setting for the shooter’s eye sight. As with all Leapers optics, complete and total solutions are our specialty. Batteries, high quality lens caps, and Picatinny/Weaver rings are all included at a price no one can beat.
