    CenterPoint 4-16x44 SF Review

    I've been searching around for a new scope in either 3-12x44 or 4-16x44 with side focus and Mil Dot reticle. I had my choices narrowed down to either the Hawke Varmit or Leapers SWAT, both in 4-16x44. Then I noticed CP had a new model out, so I asked Eric if he could possibly bring some in, and as usual he came through once again...

    Picked it up yesterday and gave it a quick inspection (haven't even got it mounted on a rifle yet). Being a $155 Chinese-made scope I wasn't expecting too much from it, but I gotta admit I'm pretty impressed with it so far! Finish seems very good and uniform with no obvious flaws anywhere that I could see and comes with flip open lens caps and a set of 1" Weaver rings. The only thing I would have liked to see it come with is a sunshade (which it doesn't) but not a huge deal.

    Scope measures 13 1/8" long (without flip open caps attached) and weighs 20.4 Oz... 2.6 Oz heavier than the Hawke, roughly the same length (CP is 3/8" shorter) and $65 cheaper. 8.1 Oz lighter, 1 3/8" shorter and $25 cheaper than the Leapers SWAT.

    The Mil Dot reticle is nice and crisp, not too thin or thick, just right IMO. The 44mm objective is also a nice touch. I compared it to my CP 4-16x40 right at dusk last night and as expected, the 44mm was noticeably brighter. Glass is crystal clear and even at 6-8 power still focused down to 7 or 8 yards perfectly.

    Pics of the new glass:

    The only part I'm not sure of is this thing-a-ma-jig found on the underside of scope. What the heck is it?

    Also picked up a sidewheel for it too. Would have preferred a 3", but 4" was all that was available:

    All in all, I'm pretty impressed so far. Looking forward to getting it mounted and trying her out at range.

    They had to put the tensioner for the windage turret adjustments somewhere... just a w.a.g.
