Compact Scope by MA3TY (Product Review)


This is a 4x32 scope, made in China. We have it attached to our Airsoft rifle. It says it has a fiberoptic sight, with a 4 times magnification of a 32mm objective. It's got triple illumination (red, green, or blue). It also says it has an 8-inch pupil extension, which we have no idea what that is supposed to mean; the field of use is "7" but no clarification of what that means. The length is 5.5 inches and the weight is 15.9 ounces.



It is shock-proof, water-proof, recoil-proof and fog-proof. It is also nitrogen filled. The pre-set parallax is adjusted for 100 yards. The reticle is supposed to be grade for 100, 200, and 400 yards. Our issue with that claim is it does not say what type of ammunition it is rated for.



We tested the illumination. In the daytime the only one usable is full-on bright. In low light, the illumination is so bright, it all but obliterates your target. There is a CR2032 included, which is required for illumination. The fiberopic sight is actually just a plastic rod, and it is a bit warped at that. It does glow but only when it is really bright. The rear sight aperture is as tight as we could get it and it is still a bit loose. It is a bit sharp as well, enough to catch on your arm or your clothing. As we have not been able to go to the range with this yet, we can't say whether or not this will hold zero.



You can unscrew the caps on top and to the right to make adjustments. There are pic rails on the front of the scope. Not sure what they are for. If you mounted a laser to it, it would put you so far off your bore axis it makes it unusable past the zero point. A mounted red dot could only be placed sideways, which means your up/down, left/right, have all been switched.

It comes with three tools. Two are Allen wrenches. Two don't fit anything on this but the other can take off the rear sight, which we recommend so you won't scratch your arm or tear your clothes.

We will try it at the range but we honestly do not expect it to remain on our actual weapons. It will do just fine for Airsoft.
