I picked up a new Centerpoint Optics Adventure Class 4-16x40 Rifle Scope (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B001PO5QOK/?tag=2ahawaii-20) to mount on top of a Remington 700 in .223. Weather permitting, I will get to test it out on Wednesday and I can provide a report. Hopefully it will be able to withstand the awesome power of the .223 :P
I couldn't find much bad to say about this scope. For the price, it seems to be a great value. While I know it's not a Nightforce or high end Leupold, I don't expect it to be. If it holds zero and can focus on the target, it will be good enough for me :)

Well I got out to the range today. What a great day.
I went to both the pistol and rifle side and got to shoot pretty much the whole four hours. For the scope, it seemed to hold up just find on a heavy .223 rifle. I got it zeroed at 50 yards and got brave and was shooting at the 200 yard targets. That went fine, zero was pretty close at 50/200. I then started shooting the furthest steel target (400 yards?) using a hold over with the mil dots. That worked great and was consistant.
I have to say, I was surprised by the quality. The glass is clear and comes with all the bells and whistles. The adjustable optic was new to me and threw me off when I had to change it when shooting at 50 and again shooting past 100. If anyone is looking for a cheap and maybe temporary scope to hold them over until they get one that will last a lifetime, I'd say this is the one to get. It came with rings and flip up caps which all fit perfectly.

How much did you get this for? Where?

I got it from Walmart online for ~$75 after shipping (they don't have it locally). They also sell it on Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B001PO5QOK/?tag=2ahawaii-20) for ~$84 with free shipping and it comes with shooting sticks. Thinking back, I probably should have just got it from Amazon.

How's your Centerpoint holding up? The local Walmart sells these scopes for $81. Looking for a cheap scope for a cheap rifle.

I haven't used it since I first went out. It's probably holding up great cuz it never sees daylight :)

It's being used to keep the rifle it's on propped up in the gun safe :P
Actually, it's no longer in my possession.
