I have a 3-9x40 on a rws 48. Like ironglow said the centerpoint scopes were designed for springer airguns and they are built quite rugged. though as far comparing the clearity of them to even a prostaff then aren't that good but for air gun use mostly out to 50yrds they are fine and dandy. the eye releif on mine isn't very much and quite limited to the variance of where you can be for the eye relief (very specific unlike say a leupold) So far it has held up good on my springer.
I have to agree with the above statement.
What CenterPoints are good for:
daytime target practice only..
Cheap way to introduce a new shooter to longer distances with a scope.(my kids)
Temporarily mounting a scope on a new/or used rifle to see if it is a shooter, and if the rifle is a shooter, moving to a better scope.
I have a 4x16 CP that I use to judge a new/used rifle.
If rifle is a shooter, I keep the rifle and swap to a better scope.
If rifle is not a shooter, I take off the scope and I trade-in/sell the rifle and get another rifle to test.
I would never permanently put a CP on a hunting rifle.
The eye relief window is way too small.
I too am a fan of Leupold for low light use and eye relief. Two features one wants on a hunting rifle.
You usually do get what you pay for.
However, one should have no worries getting a CenterPoint scope if it stays within it's intended use.'Target only, and testing rifles"
