I was lured into a centerpoint optic once. I bought it for a .223 rem 700. It didn't last long, the elevation turret/screw stripped and was unoperable....junk. I replaced it with a Nikon buckmaster.

I would not get that for a .223 either. I just don't think it can stand up to the recoil.

In my opinion, If you want to stay in that price range, go with a Bushnell --> http://www.swfa.com/pc-8362-184-bushnell-3...ifle-scope.aspx

My cousin refused to spend more that $70 on optics. He bought a centerpoint. although it will hit what you are aiming at, don't ask for good groups. Even with a steady rest, it still looks like someone shot the target with double ot buck!


I say spend a bit more and be happy!

Hell the bushnell elite 3200 is only about another $75
Just my .02 dude!
