Re: Cheap-exellant scope.
Glad to hear it's working out for you. If and when it finally decides to give up the ghost in the future, look into the Vortex Crossfire or Viper series of scopes great value and quality for the money.
Re: Cheap-exellant scope.
Center point is still performing great with over 200 rounds down the tube. I know that is not a lot compared to some of the shooters on this site but I have shot 18 wood chucks so far and only missed a few. I picked up some gold medal match 168 gr a few weeks ago and it's shooting in the 3's at 100 yards. I'll let every one know when it gives up the ghost. My only complaint is the eye relief is pretty fussy on the higher powers but it helps to remind me to keep a consistant cheek weld on long range shots.
Re: Cheap-exellant scope.
I have the same scope on my 17HMR. No issues at all for the last year I have been popping off p-dogs with it.
When its windy I have no problem dialing for right/left windage. When re-zeroed/re-set to O/O its right on the money, same for elevation.
Re: Cheap-exellant scope.
I have a center point 2x7 ill. retical on a 22 mag model 93 and like it alot. The downfall is the whole retical lights up and even when dimmed effects night vision. This does not make the scope worthless but is a downside for hunting at night. I have since bought a Barska 4x12x50 ill. retical for my 223 stevens. It is very good also and just the very center of the crosshairs ill. The glass is OK on this scope. Not a long range competition scope by any means but very usable.
Re: Cheap-exellant scope.
I too bought a CP for my boy's .22lr Mossberg, but I put it on my Stevens .308 just to give it a try. As of yet, I still haven't put it on my boy's .22!! I was very surprised with how clear the cheapo little scope really was. It has tracked great, and the parallax is spot on at 100 yards.
Pretty well pleased with the $70 investment!!
