step up to at least $125-$150 (bare minimum) and get a Nikon Prostaff, Elite 3200, or Burris FF-2, and you've got a worlds better scope, for not much more
I disagree!
I have both! I have 2 Center Point 4-16X40 scopes, and 1 Nikon Prostaff 3-9X40. I love all three of them. I am not using them on wimpy calibers either. They are .243, 30-06, and 300 Win Mag. All three scopes have made the rounds to each gun so far and recoil has not been an issue, holding zero is great and the glass clarity has not been a problem. The .243 wins this battle and gets a Center Point due to it being meant to be used as more of a varmint gun right now. The 300 gets the Nikon for hunting due to its magnification factor and the other scope sits on a shelf because I have decided to use my 30-06 as a brush gun with open sights. There is no clear winner between these scopes, it is only due to features as to why they are where they are. I hope this helps some of you. I paid $69.00 for CP and $169 for Nikon.
I do not recommend the 3-9X32 Center Point though. I had many on my 243 and they would not hold zero. That was very frustrating. Wally World gave me my money back though and that's when I tried the big brother! I am glad I did!
