Best Use EVER for a Centerpoint Scope
- Thread starter JoeWayneRhea
- Start date
I figured more people would do that with their UTG because they just don't have enough color options for the illuminated reticle.

Thanks Joe! I have been forever trying to come up with some use for this CenterPoint clunker.

Why bash center point? I've used their scope with for years and have no problem. Glass is clear and hold zero just fine. Just cause it's not your $500+ scope don't make it cheap Chinese crap. I have a mtc viper pro that cost $650. And says on the scope, Also made is China. Glass on center point is just as clear as glass on a $650 mtc scope.

I agreed with you with the 36 colors, a little too much soy for my tastes. The UTG guy that came up with those colors, and that color wheel needs some lead shot in his loafers. For 100 bucks with my eyes I can hit sparrows at 50 yards with the bugbusters.

I think it’s an ingenious way to find the keyhole. That it can adjust paralex to a few inches is amazing
. People get bored need something to criticize. I bet there are some shooters out there like yourself who are happy with their Center Points.Upvote 0
I have a CenterPoint 4x16. Here is my review of it. I bought an Athlon Argos 6x24 that replaced the Hawke Vantage on my Wilcat. The Hawke replaced the CenterPoint on my R10. The CenterPoint is going to replace the UTG on my AT44. A UTG is going on my Nova (after I fix a leak).
Eventually I will get a nicer scope for the R10 (she deserves it). Then the trickle down will happen again.

I see the problem right out of the gate. He has it mounted upside down. Common problem though.....

Skinny knight give me your man card. You have to sit on time out for a few minutes. You can come baxk when you can tell the difference between a turd and a bagle. This guy. Jeeze.

Too funny. I'm a bit of scope snob myself but, hey if you can hit what you are aiming at with $70 scope with lenses that look like my grandmother's readers more power to you

right tool for the job....
Ive got scopes from the 4x15 $9 Daisy scope up to a high dollar-had -to-eat-Ramen-for-lunch-for-while Sightron. CenterPoints are good scopes. Not great, but Ok for most uses.....

This sucks. 
see, I agree with Both groups of enthusiasts here. I don’t care for CP all that much. But, the one I received with my second hand .25 Marauder held a zero like a visegrip. The PoI shift was crazy though. 9.5” down and right! And that was between 4 powers. Lol now, I’m on that Discovery train. I have bought two and sold two family members on them. So four scopes in just my family. Not counting the ones my buddy Jim W. (Jim’s funhuntingbirds) owns and the other team members.

CP, Leapers, UTG, all great for spring gun testing.
I have a Leapers 1.25x4x20 with 6 mils each way from center crosshairs. It’s a thin reticle & I know this rifle & scope well enough to hit a sparrow out to 60 yards on any power & further at times. It’s on a tiny 7 ft lb EL Gamo 300 tuned by John T.
The reticle, with its mils has me happy. I was going to put a Weaver K 2.5 on it but the mils are needed.
I’d stopped in to google “clearest glass on scopes under $1800 & go on down to the SWFA $299.00
Best scopes I ever shot through were Bushnell’s from Japan & I’m told SWFA is better.
We all broke into this sport at some point. Some came in at the center.

I have scopes that range from bundled packages from Crosman/Centerpoint(2-8x/4-16x), to mid-range scopes like Athlon ARES, to higher end scopes like Athlon Cronus and Vortex Razor Gen 2. Surely, there's no doubt that the glass and turret quality goes up along with the price, but there is a place for bundled scopes like Centerpoint or UTG. My Crosman/Centerpoint bundles(break barrel and PCP) came with scope, rings, scope covers ready to be mounted. It got my son and I shooting on the same day.
In the 4 years we have had it, our bundled Centerpoints 2-8x/4-16x scope has held zero, gave no issues and has taken countless pests, both small and medium game, both in the day and night. It's obviously not like my higher end Vortex or Athlon, but it does its job.
Would I mount the 4-16x Centerpoint on my Impact X or W.A.R Flex? No if I had my current choices of scopes to choose from, but in a pinch, I bet the CenterPoint 4-16x scope would still put pellet on pellet at 30 yards with any of my higher end PCP rifles...
