Page 2 - CenterPoint Adventure Class 3-9x40AO Rifle Reviews

Man, where do I begin? Well, let's see; I like the variable brightness dual illumination feature, the lens caps are nice, the parallax adjustment is excellent, crystal clear optics, 3-9 magnificaton, 40 millimeter objective lens, the lockdown screws is good to have, the index numbers for parallax, turrets, and magnification are bright and easy to read, and turning the windage and elevation knobs give crispy feedback, and the illumination knob gives strong feedback.

Nothing.

Take care not to bump your scope once it is sighted in. Getting this scope is a noble choice.

I mounted this scope on my Ruger M77 .30-06 and took it out after laser sighting it in the day after i took it out of the box. I fired 5 160 grain rounds at my target at 45 yds and 3 out of the 5 were in the bull. The others would have hit in the middle if i took my time.... Good scope for the money NOT only for airguns as i found out. :)

Nothing really, not to heavy, good price.... Little bit long and unfortunatley the pop up covers are to thick to fit on my rifle but the Neopreme scope cover that cae with it fits perfect.

Not only for airgunners....go buy a real gun :) haha

Originally I was in the market for the equivalent Leapers model, but based on the recomendation of the sales support staff at Pyramid (and time constraints) decided to give this model a go. So far, so good. The optics are crystal clear and decidedly brighter than I had expected, and the mildot combined with the AO has made my shooting much more precise (therefore more enjoyable) at any range.

My only complaint with this scope is that the AO adjustment is on the tube itself, for ease of use IMO it should be on the left adjustment wheel, hence the 4 star overall rating.

Overall, very pleasantly surprised with the quality of this scope. Aside from the increased accuracy gains, it makes my RWS 34 .22 look like a supreme killing machine. Oh, again based on Pyramid's recomendation I also purchased the RWS one piece scope mount and couldn't be happier. No more Creep!

the mildot on this scope is great. i just put it on a few days ago and have it really on point right now (1/2 groups 30 yards). i like the illuminated mil dot alot it helps in mourning and night hunting.

nothing

for an airgun this is a great scope it can handle the recoil of the guns. all around this is a great scope.with the gamo one peice mount this thing works perfectly.

Well built, solid, good light gathering ability, sharp focus, clear image, plenty of adjustment range, comes with flip-up protective caps. Everything works as advertised. It's an excellent target scope and also great for varmints at lower powers. Changes in magnification keep very close to the same zero and always return to the exact same zero. I've shot loose several other scopes in the past - I don't see that happening with this one. I've sent close to a thousand rounds from my RWS 48 since installing it.

Nothing really needs changing for its price range and its use as an airgun scope. The adjustment knobs at first appear more complex than absolutely necessary - but they offer several worthwhile features, and they were easy to get used to.

Very, very clear! I think the CenterPoints have clearer optics than most. The hex screws on the elevation and windage have two settings(height) so that once you've zeroed-in you can bring the dial back to zero. The flip lens caps are always a plus.

The windage adjustments are slightly limited.

For the money, this scope is a good way to go for lower to mid-priced guns. It would be out of place on a high-end gun. The lenses are very clear, the matte finish is very well done, appearance-wise she's a LOOKER! Quite functional to boot!

I purchased two of these. One worked beautifully, the other I had to repace with the same scope; the elevation adjustment would only go just so far and then no further. The sight picture is bright and clear, and you can adjust the objective lens, a feature you can't find on the very expensive scopes.

nothing

I recommend them highly.

Good optics for the price and holds zero well

Turn the power down on the illuminated retical, Its way too bright on its lowest settinng to use at night.

a good bargin for optics of this quality I wouldnt be scared to mount it on a light recoiling center fire.

The brightness is great! good reticle. the two color reticle illumination is handy for different conditions. Parrallax and zoom are smooth. Rigid tube, nice controls and finish.

I would use a center off potentiometer for the reticle illumination control for infinite intensity control.

You will want to use high scope mounts if you intend to load the rifle!

Adjustible objective a real plus, turrets click positively, clarity is great even in low light

the illuminated reticle is a bit to bright even on the lowest setting making it hard to see anything other than the crosshairs

great scope, mildot a real plus for hunters especially on lower velocity rifles, gives additional aim points

Adjustable objective from 5 yds to infinity is very nice. This is my first scope with an illuminated reticle. I like this feature a lot. I mounted the scope using a 1 pc mount, and after bore sighting, I was deadcenter within 4 shots. After 15 shots, I was bug holing at 20 yds, which was not possible with the Beeman scope that came with the rifle. I have put @ 500 pelltes through my .22 Beeman, and it remains dead on.

Nothing. This is a splendid scope.

The majority of my optics experience is with scopes on firearms (Leupold, Burris). This is my first Centerpoint scope, on my first pellet rifle. Installation was typical. Accuracy and precision are first rate.

The adjustable range. I use this on my air soft sniper and this thing is awesome. I mostly use it on 4or 3x in a game, but can show off with the 9x to my friends. The red and green dot are AWESOME, though i usually don't use it in a game. The red uses less batteries, so use that one. I dunno if thi one comes with it, but mine has a sun shade with is AMAZING because of the no reflection.

The scope rings are a bit wide and when i bolt back, it comes off. It isn't a big deal though.

GET VERY HIGH SCOPE RINGS! The back is pretty low, i like it likt that though. DOn't leave the battery inside the thing for a long time, trust me =P. O and one more thing, get this right now from Pyramydair, don't even consider anywhere esle, this place is the bomb. Hope this helps, have fun shooting things!

Everything. This scope was recommended by Pyramyd Air, & now I know why.

I was shocked by the quality at such a low price point. I am not in the best of health & the shock was hard on my heart.

You need a medium mount, low mounts won't work. Buy one. Buy two.

Everything!

???

This is the second scope of this model. The first scope's elevation adjustment wouldn't work and neither does this one. Reordered a different brand!

This seems to be a very good scope.

Nothing.

I had to the first scope back because the "elevation" adjustment wouldn't work. I'm presently waiting on a replacement.

Bright, clear, sharp glass. crisp thin mill dot crosshairs; smooth adjustments.

nothing

I mounted this on a Remington AM 77, works well. I will buy some more for my other rifles. I like the fact that it can focus as close as 5 yards.

Very crisp, clear scope. I like the thin reticle. I shoot at very small targets (yellow jackets). Scope is very solid and adjusts accurately.

Nothing

This scope is a great value. You will not be sorry if you buy it!

Very clear optics very easy to make adjustments to sight in Price is great for the value you get I like the Red/Green dual illuminated feacher First class all the way..

haven't found any yet

I bought this scope to replace the one that came on my Viper. The scope that was shipped with my Viper would not stay sighted in and wandered all over the place. After I bought this scope I now can shoot dime size groups at 50ft. By buying this 40mm scope I was able to use the same mounts that came with the rifle. A 50mm scope will need different mounts so the scope will clear the barrel. This is a top of the line scope. Buy one you won't be sorry!!

everything about this scope screams value.... everything i was looking for in an air rifle scope down to the smallest detail. this is the EXACT same scope as the leapers but seems to work much better than any of the leapers scopes i bought, see my review on those scopes for further info before buying. oh, and the centerpoint has a much better lense coating system than the leapers for the exact same price.

the only thing i would chhange at all about these scopes is adding the 2.5 inch sun shade leapers offers with their exact same model. other than that, so far this scope seems perfect

if you buy this scope, your going to need HIGH scope mounts.... the objective lense is 40mm but the outside of the objective bell measures about 52mm because of the AO ring and measures right around 60mm with the flip open lense caps installed. DO NOT think you can get by with medium profile scope mounts with this scope. i just wish i had originaly bought this scope and had never wasted 4 months of my time and gone through 4 RMA processes with the inferior leapers scopes that i recieved.
