Leapers 1-4x28 AccuShot CQB

By: Pete Moore

Since I have got into 22 military-type rifles I am always on the lookout for suitable accessories and if one company has them by the butt-load it’s Leapers of China. A look at their website shows lots’ of goodies and I borrowed some from UK distributor’s DGS International.

For my SIG522 I was looking for a compact, low power variable. Being a 22LR if it could do 100-yards with consistency I would be happy. Designated a CQB-type (close quarter battle) the 1-4x28 AccuShot looked to be the perfect solution.

L.I.R.

Leapers bill this scope as long eye relief at 4-5”. A bit ambitious as you can’t see the whole sight picture as it vignettes much past X1. For me I found a distance of about 3” to be ideal. It’s nice and small at 10” long and weighs 14oz so not a burden. The body is 30mm and I used a set of their high, tactical QD rings, which allowed me to keep the folding rear sight fitted on the SIG.

The reticule is a slim Mil-Dot-type with six dots per arm, at 100-yards the spacing’s are around 3.6” and also make great aim-off markers too. Illumination is supplied by a rheostat drum on the left of the saddle that gives both red and green options – 5-levels either way. The magnification ring is chunky so no problems dialling in, at the rear is a fast-focus eyepiece. Up front the objective is hooded and a set of flip-up lens caps are supplied.

Tiny tactical

Lens quality is good for a scope of this class, but the low, maximum x4 magnification is starting to struggle much past 200-yards, which is as you would expect. It’s pre-parallaxed for 100-yards and showed a crisp sight picture, so suited my criteria well.

The external dialling turrets are of the locking-type, which seems to be the new wave and providing you note your drop/wind figures are useful. They secure by a castellated ring at the base, which turns anti-clockwise to unlock and reverses to lock. Click values are ½ @ 100-yards with 30” per turn and six full rotations. The drums are marked with from 0 to 28 (even numbers only) with four subdivisions (4 x ½”) between them.

On top of the turret is an Allen screw that allows you to disengage them to set to zero. Given the drums are so well marked I found the tiny alignment dot on the saddle a bit indistinct. Drum movement was pretty good too with loud and positive clicks.

Overall this is a neat and well featured little scope; it’s unashamedly tactically-orientated and also not just aimed at the 22 rimfire market.
