Centerpoint Optics Adventure Class 4-16x40AO Rifle Scope w/free Shooting Stick

Decent external lense coatings. Lockable turrets that don't require a dime or flathead to adjust. Good magnification range. Objective adjustent really will go down to 5 yards, and has enough travel to allow truly unlimited range adjustment without going too far, so you can actually spin the ao all the way to the end and it will be properly adjusted for anything beyond 100 yards. Good flare control, very little barrel distortion, and generally very good glass for the money. The glass itself gives a slightly more accurate image than the Bushnell Sportsman scopes which are equivalently priced. Adjustments seem to be consistent and stable under recoil. Mil-dots rule, and the crosshairs are fine enough for target shooting.

There is a major problem with these scopes in regards to controlling internal reflections. In fact it has the worse internal reflection control that I have ever seen on a scope, and I have looked through a lot of scopes in my day. The problem is that if there is something bright just outside of the field of view of the scope, it will wash out the whole image with whatever color it is. For example, if I am sighted in on a target that is to the left of my bright orange wheelbarrow, and the image of the wheelbarrow is not seen at all through the scope, it will still make the entire image appear like it is being viewed through a thick orange fog. I think that a large sunshade might help with this problem, but because this scope is already extremely long, the additional length of a sunshade will make it impossible to mount on many weapons, including my Gammo CFR (or about any other underlever or top-loading bolt-action rifle. What Crosman/Leapers/CenterPoint needs to do is not worry about an illuminated reticle, flip-up scope caps, or including rings and batteries, and instead take measures to minimize internal reflections. Basically everything about this scope exudes quality far beyond the price would have you expect, but then they just dropped the ball in regards to internal reflection control. It is clearly a problem with the internal center tube. It even appears very shiny when looking in through the objective. I may take this scope apart (and release the nitrogen, unfortunately) to scuff the internal tube and minimize the reflectivity problem. The plus side is, if they hadn't created this unforgivable issue, they could probably double the asking price of this scope and still easily sell them like wildfire.

In a nutshell, the fit and finish are excellent, it offers good glass and external lense coatings, and it offers a lot of bells and whistles normally found on more expensive scopes, but in the end, I would drop a little more cash and upgrade to a Bushnell Banner that is about $30 more, but offers a much better image. It will be worth it in the long run. If you really can't afford the additional $30, then this is a good candidate. I would take it over the Bushnell sportsman 4-12x40 for field target due to the higher magnification and the mil-dot reticle, however, if I was just going to be plinking and hunting, I would take the Bushnell because it has better internal reflection control, so it will offer a clearer image under less-than-ideal lighting conditions, and 12x is plenty for almost any kind of shooting.

The parallax adjustment works well. The turrets are lockable. For the money this is an excellent scope. I have this scope mounted on My rws 350 mag. springers, Talon SS, QB 79, Marlin .22 rimfire, and my Remington 7mm mag. I've owned 7 of these in the past 4 years. I have used them on magnum springers, pcps, co2, small bore firearms and magnum firearms and have had NO problems at all.

The scope mounts that come with it are good quality but are for a weaver base. I had to get 11mm dovetail mounts for most of the guns I have this scope on.

Very good value.

Clear , a pop can at 40 yrd on 16x looks like its 3 inches from the end of your nose and very clear well made good price holds zero so far the walthers are hell on scopes

Mine is on a walther talon magnum which shoots a 14.3 premier at 950 fps on the chrony thats 28 ft-lbs and holds zero,, hope it holds up , and reviews say it should, best buy in a scope of this magnification I can hit a pop can dead center at 125 ft with a steady hold while standing and I think thats impresive the walther shoots very well got 1050 fps till it calmed down after 200 pellets.

looks and operates like a much more expensive scope very easy to zero and has a zero lock which can be set to return to the original zero if readjusted.holds zero very well and has crystal clear view up to 12x then its off a touch green light shows mil dot red is just a thick red x like em both comes with 2 batteries and was easy to mount on my Benji NP comes with the flip up lense covers too also wrenches are included for mounting I live the heavy ring tighteners no more hex there lol

Nothing

Better get one before they are on backorder

not alot exept for the things the scope can do

make it realy shock proof?

my scope broke within 2 days of my magnum springer good scope but not for magnum springers

Good scope. Mounts very easily. Good eye relief. Very clear and keeps focus Mounted it on my new Mrod and I can't seem to miss with it. It seems to be a good combo with this rifle.

Nothing.

Great scope for the money.

everything!! I put this scope on my airforce condor in .22 cal. and im very pleased i did. This combo is deadly acurate!! I did have a leapers 6-24x50 on it but the eye relief was not for me this scope is easy to site a target in which i really like.

Not a thing!!!

Try it you will like it i do!!!

Very clear and alot of features for the money. It was over kill for my Gamo 440 but it works great. Just center it and use the MIL-Dot for your distance and windage. Its all good

The only thing I would add is add a on/off switch for the red-green illumination.

A mid size 1 peice scope rings works OK but I bet the high scope rings would work better. When you place the scope cover on the front with mid sized rings its really close to touching the gun

Very well built scope. Clear, bright, attractive, and accurate.

Cannot find ANYTHING I would change.

Buy it --- you will like it.

Very clear and sharp. Great eye releif. Holds zero point at all power settings. Works great on my benjamin discovery .22 cal. with the high rings. At 25 yards I can easily cover 8 shots with a dime using the benjamin discovery pellets. There is no need to buy the expenssive stuff, these pellets shoot just fine in the discovery.

Nothing so far.

In low light conditions the green illuminated reticle is better, and in bright light the red seems to work fine if you choose to use it. I only use the green on the lowest setting for late evening or early morning squirrel hunting. I will buy this scope again for other airguns in the future and possibly for some .22's as well.
