Reddit reviews UTG 4.2" ITA Red/Green CQB Dot with QD Mount, Riser Adaptor

1. Depends on your experience. If you're new to teching, getting something good off the bat is my recommendation. If you want a nice middle ground, get an ICS. Good internals out of the box, and split gearbox makes it easy to work on.
   
   
2. Flat-hop or r-hop for range and consistency. R-hop is better, but more difficult/time consuming, so might be worth getting it professionally done.
   
   
3. A good mask or goggles that don't fog are a must. A Dye I4 or Dye I5 are best if you want a mask, and the Pyramex I-force are very nice for goggles. For a lower face mask, if you're using goggles, the One Tigris mask is very nice.
   
   Mid cap vs hi cap is really just preference. Mid caps are more realistic, don't make any noise, and don't need to be wound. Hi caps are easier to load and hold a lot more ammo.
   
   UTG makes some good optics. I have their Magnifier and short dot, and their red dot is pretty popular as well. If you want cheap, the Field Sport red dot is supposed to be pretty solid. Bushnell and Primary Arms are on the higher end of micro red dots, at least for airsoft. I have the Primary Arms and it's real nice.

UTG makes some sights that are good enough to use on real guns. I have their 4.2" ITA red/green dot on my KWA SR7 and it's great. Sturdy and stable, holds zero even after rough handling, looks good.

Bang for the buck wise, the best sight I have is this generic one. It's a red / green cross hair and for $17 it's pretty amazing - no parallax problems, adjusts easily and keeps its settings, basically just does what it's supposed to.

I like reproduction sights for their looks, but a lot of them have issues like a dark sight picture, alignment problems, etc. Like the two EOTech clones I have work just well enough to be useful, but the picture is like looking through sunglasses, because that's a side effect of the cheap reflector technology they use. Neither of the sights I linked above have that problem. Inexpensive sights that are not designed for airsoft typically work better as actual sights, although obviously they don't look as cool.

There are triggerlocks, but they don't fit on or between any triggerguard.

And I must ask, why such concerns? Do you got kids?

Gun safety is always a good idea, but if you don't cock your airgun, which just can't happen on accident, then it won't discharge or do anything. And carrying around your gun cocked and loaded is never a good idea and you shouldn't do that anyways.


I've never heard of a thing like a lock that prevents accidental cocking or something.


Only thing I can think of are old timey Walther rifles and the Weihrauch HW 35, which has a thumb lever you need to push in order to break the barrel.


Every Weihrauch and lots of other guns also have build in safeties that engage, once the gun is cocked and lock the trigger to prevent discharge.


And there are lots of attachments. Of course there are reflex sights and ACOG style sights as well. Only ACOG style sights I know cost more than 80€.

You can get reflex sights for 20, but those have a messy red dot that's so big, it will block your target at any range farther than 10m

I've only heard good about ^that^ UTG one.



Otherwise maybe a compensator or moderator for airguns. Both help a bit with accuracy and the moderator muffles the sound a bit.

I use this UTG DS3840

The quick detach is nice to swap to a different rifle if needed, but is solid when it's on.

Ok...so with the exception that I posted, they're garbage. Not going to nitpick this into the ground, not interested in being 'right' on the internet. Examples of said garbage:

Etc etc etc. this is the crap i'm referring to.

After almost zeroed with a cheapo optic not shown, http://www.amazon.com/UTG-Green-Sight-Adaptor-Flip-Open/dp/B004HICPHW

Standing, no rest.

Was it this? I was looking at that too but some of the reviews said it would zero and stuff.
