This video details the challenges and solutions for mounting a UTG 2-7x32 long eye relief pistol scope on a Kel-Tec Sub-2000. The presenter highlights the necessity of long eye relief due to the Sub-2000's handguard optic mount and the need for a custom or 'Frankenstein' mounting solution to achieve proper height, stability on a polymer rail, and quick detach functionality for folding. The review covers the scope's features, performance at distance, and its suitability as a scouting optic.

Quick Summary

The Kel-Tec Sub-2000 requires a long eye relief scope due to its handguard-mounted optic design. The UTG 2-7x32 pistol scope, with its 13.8-inch eye relief, is a viable option, though mounting may necessitate custom solutions for height, stability on polymer rails, and quick detach functionality for folding.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is a long eye relief scope necessary for the Kel-Tec Sub-2000?

The Kel-Tec Sub-2000 is designed to mount optics on its handguard, which is positioned far forward of the shooter's eye. This requires a scope with extended eye relief to allow the user to achieve a clear sight picture without the scope being uncomfortably close or impossible to focus on.

What are the key specifications of the UTG 2-7x32 long eye relief pistol scope?

The UTG 2-7x32 scope offers variable magnification from 2x to 7x, a 32mm objective lens, and a 1-inch tube. Its defining feature is its exceptionally long eye relief, ranging from 25 to 13.8 inches, making it suitable for forward mounting.

What challenges arise when mounting optics on a Kel-Tec Sub-2000?

Mounting optics on the Sub-2000 presents challenges including the polymer handguard's stability, the need for sufficient height to clear the front sight post, and the requirement for quick-detach capability due to the rifle's folding design.

How does mounting a scope far forward affect its perceived magnification?

When a scope is mounted significantly further from the shooter's eye, as in a scout scope configuration, its effective magnification is reduced. A 7x scope mounted 11-12 inches away might offer a visual experience closer to 2x or 2.5x magnification.

Are the turrets on the UTG 2-7x32 scope suitable for dialing in adjustments?

The turrets on the UTG 2-7x32 scope provide 1/4 MOA clicks but lack reference marks. This design makes them suitable for initial zeroing but not for making precise, repeatable ballistic adjustments (DOPE) at various ranges.
