[mr.hicks]

here's the link, its a CenterPoint 4-16x40mm Scope.

for around 70.00 looks like its worth a try. two color lighted reticle. Just wandering if any of you guys have it and what you think of it.
thanks

You get what you pay for. And good optics aren't cheap. You'd be better off buying a standard nikon or bushnell for more but still relatively cheap.

True, Very True!

I would have to be leary of that. pass-thru said it pretty good. save up a few more pennies and at least get a cheap nikon, loopy or redfield

You will never regret buying excellent glass for your weapon. I have wasted my share of money on cheap scopes.

 

[mr.hicks]

yeh, and i truely believe in the 'get what you pay for' but for some reason i think there's alot of over priced scopes out there.
'corse this thing has just too much for the price.
thanks

I like to find middle of the road stuff for hunting. I just can't justify "top end equipment" for banging around in the woods.

I promised I would keep my optic opinions to myself over on the muzzleloader forum.

Sorry. I'd LOVE to voice my opinion...

Nikon Buckmasters for around 200 bucks cant be beat for overall clarity and price...........
Great value on a great quality scope.

I traded for an x bolt 30-06 with one on it. I'll sell it for $50. Haven't had the chance to zero the new scope but I did shoot the cheap one and it did hold a zero with my 30-06.

High end guns and optics are made to bang around in the woods.they can take it because they are well built. It is the cheap stuff you got to worry about

 

[mr.hicks]

Hey and what about customer service with mid to higher end scopes? anyone heard the good or bad stuff. Plus i think it would be cool to have a resource for looking at hunting stuff made in the U.S.

 

[muddyboots]

Yea i would stay away from cheap scopes. Only experience i have had with them has been bad.

You will get excellent customer service with Leupold as they have set the bar for customer service. Many other companies have followed suit. Bushnell, on the other hand, supposedly has a lifetime warranty, but many people get the run around with CS and end up never getting their purchase back repaired. Zeiss, Meopta, Leica, Minox, Night Force, Vortex, and Sightron are a handful of companies that have excellent customer service such as Leupolds. I'm sure I've left some companies out that also have great CS.

oh judd come on

well i will be honest every time i go to the woods i plan on killing the biggest buck in the world or at least 3 does

i will never own a scope named centerpoint
cheap scope will have cross hair fade will fog and loose poi (point of impact) and usually wont track right which is frustrating when trying to sight in

yeh, i think there's alot of over priced scopes out there.

maby but i am sorry id take a 3-9x40 zeiss for 399 new over any dang 4x16 junk or burris or bushnell

clarity is more important than magnification



ud be better off with a used bushnell eliete 3200 or burris fullfield II

u can get either used from 99-150 and the burris new for 130

and be light years ahead of this scope

Agreee with all the above but add tthe new Redfields to the list. :grin:

Have no opinion of the the scope in question you gotta do what you gotta do.

 

[mr.hicks]

Thanks guys, i'll definately keep all that in mind. looks leupold will be who i measure the others against when comparing.

For warranty I would use Leupold to measure up to.
Optically, however, Zeiss can't be beat dollar for dollar.
