how often do you change the elevation dial would you say? if i were to change elevation constantly for every use, do you think the scope would still hold its original zero after many shots? thanks.
I bought a $50 Center Point 3x9 illuminated reticle scope for my Hi-Point 995ts 9mm Carbine. Im very much satisfied with its accuracy at 100yards. Im sure the Scope is capable of longer ranged shots, but my rifle isn't. I'd highly recommend this for anyone who's needing a Cost effective scope that mostly interested in Target shooting. Seems to Keep its Zero quite well. Sighted it in once, and havnt had to touch the settings yet.....Oh-and Love the illuminated crosshairs, very nice touch.
I have a Center Point 4-16X on a .22, I do not have enough elevation and am opting to shim the rear base. How are you doing it at 100? Hold over? I am worried there is something wrong with the scope.
What the heck!? Me and my uncle all summer... we spent the entire summer trying to make these scopes work on our gamo shadow express rifles and nothing... we couldn't even begin to imagine 100 yards..
This video showed me the capabilities of the Crossman Premier Domed Hollow Points...I think that is what I will go with when I buy my CFX in the next couple of days. I hope that my taxes come in soon, I really would like to get out and do some shooting. Thanks again, Michael
This is a very good scope for the money, i can't recall off the top of my head the exact model but it cost me 85 bucks at walmart. I have it mounted on a AR15/M16 full size .223. Ive fired at least 200 rounds so far and havnt had an issue. I recommend you zero i'n at 50 yards then just use your mil dots. Ive shot as far as 200 yards and the grouping was really good. I just took it off because I painted my rifle cammo so im headed back out to the range just to make sure it's still spiffy.
Yes, it's made to handle the 2-way recoil of a springer air rifle, so you can pretty much mount it to anything without worry of glass breakage due to recoil shock.
@98snakeeater Thank you for the advice, I will look into getting one of theses scopes. Makes you almost like a sniper :) Do you know what average retail should be on this particular model optic?
would you suggest this for a 22lr 10/22? we saw center point sopes at walmart couldnt tell if they were crap or alright stuff. also being made for air guns we were affraid of losing zero wen used for hunting with our 10/22 22lr. how hard of a hit would have to bump a rifle and scope to make it lose zero i wonder
The ones at Wal-Mart are usually the 40mm variety and although they're still quite a good scope for the money, you're better off spending a little more for a 50mm version.
The Adventure Class scopes are rated for springer rifles, which are harder on scopes than any Magnum powered rifle due to it's 2-way recoil.
I've actually dropped mine a few times and it stll held zero fine, so I wouldn't worry about it.
whats the best class for a crosman air gun break barrel im thinking about getting this scope but just not sure right now i have a 3-9 32mm. scope on my storm xt and it gets outa sight really easy sooo give me some sugestions
@98snakeeater Thanks. By the way, over all what do you think of this scope? I'm planning on buying it for my air rifle, or do you have any other suggestions?
got the scope,thanks for the help! but i got A problem with my gamo gun now.... when i go to cock it like the back end of the gun comes up. i tighten all my screws and about 1000 more shots form it it does it again...think it is just cuz i shoot it alot? or the screws are striped?
oh okay, its my 1st scope you see lol but i kinda understand. the hawke scope ive ordered has the MAP reticle. so ill have to read the instructions :P cheers anyway
I just bought this same scope for my benjamin 397. I had to order some special rail mount because the benjamin has no dovetails. Can't wait till the mount comes.
How well is this scope holding on to it's Zero for just basic use? Are you having to readjust it at all form the recoil or is it staying on target? I've been looking for a good optic for my air rifle (Gamo Big Cat 1200). I have a great red dot on there now, but I would like a more long range scope as well.
Nice Vid man. I say this with experience, I believe that Centerpoint Scopes are easily the best for their price on the planet...From a guy who owns a Leupold VX-II 3X9X40 & 2 Nikon's and 1 Simmons, I wish I had discovered Centerpoints back when...I own 4 now, 1 4-16X40, a rimfire 3-9X32 & 2 Quickaim Redots 1 X34's... Didn't spend a $100 on any, and they are better than my $185 Simmons or Nikon's...not quite a Leupold, but, the one you are using might just change my mind...Again, nice vid...
my software suggests 18 yards zero setting my average chrony on my normal whisper is 900fps so go with that. its weird my whisper vh shoot average 960 fps with these and both whisper have same powerplany thats odd.
OK, here are some numbers I used for your calculation: Scope Height = 2 inches Muzzle Velocity = 900fps Clicks Per Revolution = 60 Pellet Weight = 7.9g Zero Setting = 18 yards Click adjustment to 100 yards = 67 Impact Velocity = 546fps Flight Path (arc) = 17.451" Total Drop = 30.769" Flight Time = 0.43 sec. Those are some rough numbers as you still need the correct Pellet Weight, Diameter and B.C.
Dear sir would appreciate if you could tell me at timeline 4.19 turning knob what is used for? I keep trying and trying my unit it seems don't do any different ....:)
that would work great i'm sure. but check the parallax adjustment. sometimes the parallax adjustment on Center Points is too short for firearms. like their 4-16x40 scope, i use it on an airgun, but i don't see much use for a firearm because the maximum for the parallax adjustment is 100 yards. i don't assume firearm shooters would find much use of that. but i'll bet this scope has good parallax adjustment.
you might want to recheck the scope. i have the 4-16x40 and the parallax is adjustable from 5 yds. to infinity. i us mine on a 300 win mag. it has plenty of parallax adjustment for a high powered rifle.
hmm... i just assumed that because infinity is really not infinity. my old scope that was supposedly for airguns (PCP airguns) had parallax adjustment from 7.5 yards to infinity but before it got to infinity, it went out to 300 yards on the adjuster thing (which was a piece of crap) but i assumed that if the readings go from 100 yards straight to infinity, then infinity on that scope must be shorter than the supposed infinity on my old scope. that didn't make any sense, but i think you're right
I bought a Center Point 3-9x32 a couple weeks ago and mounted it to my crossman and I have to say it is freaking amazing. They make a wonderful product. Nice video and nice dog.
My scope came with a cheat card explaining tactical mil-dot range estimating, but it appears the inch to meter conversions are incorrect. My sources show 1"=.0254m so 79" should = 2.007m but the Center Point chart shows 79"=1.829m
So very strange. Do you happen to have the cheat card and a reasonable guess to the discrepancy?
That program you used, i've download it. How this works? I've changed the pellet i want, weigh, velocity... Where it appers how many clicks we have to hange in the scope... Could you help me. My English isn't the best, I'm Portuguese, But i made my best. Nice vids!!!!
Hey Hope im not bothering u, do you think the rings that came with the gun will work w/ that scope? Thanks for the help, sorry for the "20" questions just excited to get this thing zeroed in.....
ok i have a bit of a dilema my gun which is very similar to yours, a gamo varmint hunter, and i went out and bought a scope and mounts to fit it and the gun wont adjust far enough to actually sight it in it is very frustrating because i had it mounted on the same gun and it worked fine then when it broke i exchanged it and now it doesnt work with the new one do you know what to do the gun is shooting too high and the scope cant compensate for the hight
it is a cp 4x16 and i have had it for a while do you think it would be the scope... it all makes sence now when i put it on my first gun i had had that gun for a while and it had lost so much power and the pellet would drop like crazy and with my new one it has all the power so maybe the scope never did workproperly... do you think there is any way to get my money back that thing was expensive and all it is good for is a club
thanks for the advice i looked at it and it is a 40mm i am going to email them and see if i cant get a new one or do you think that walmarts supply would have been gone through by now i could just exchange it there
dude your dog is totally chill lol anyways just wondering what softwear you said and i figured your air rifle is a bolt action type and not a brake barrel like mine. is the bolt action type better or are they the same
A good bolt action PCP will give you more accuracy and stay consistent as you don't have to move the rifle away for every shot, but the good ones don't come cheap and the cheap ones don't come good....
heya bud i was just wandering im hoping to get an r700 aitgun maself but thers merely one problem, i dont understand anything about mil dot and calculating all the stuff to get the shot first time, u give me any tips plz? id love to know it all properly like, windage, distance n clicks n up a click right a clcick ugh its confusin lol but any help u can provide would be great thanks bud ;)
great video!thanks for posting!bought one of these scopes last night for a 17 hmr.havent tried yet,but price/features wre incredible.have looked thru alot of scopes lately,this one is comparable to one 3x the price.
Hey, try this scope on a deer hunting rifle. I have 2 of the same exact scope because they are nice. 70 bucks at wally world. I have on scope on my .223 M4 Carbine, and another on my 30-.06 Remington 700. So far, on both weapons the scope have performed flawlessly, except when i dropped it about 3 feet on to the floor, oops. On the .06 though, the one i have i can shoot a 3 round fist sized shot group at 300m. I have also taken out bottle caps at that range.
about how much would this scope go for? and how many fps is ur gun. would it matter if it dosent go that fast as in the fps. because i have a crosmanstorm xt and i need a new scope what would u reccomend. thank you
hey thank you very much for the program but i have one question. in the program what is "clicks/moa", "clicks/revolution", and "ols bushnell elite turrent"?
bro im gonna buy a gamo whisper VH but I hear that the recoil pin of the scope damages the rail. Do you have this same problem or you just take out the pin?
1 of the simplest ways is to keep your scope set at 25yd, and then set it for something like 40yd, then 50 yd, ect. As you change from 25yd to what ever count your clicks and write them down on paper....ergo...40yds would be lets say 27clicks up, and 4 clicks left. Bingo now you should be set up for 40yds. All this will take time and work on your part. This is a sure fire method, and still used in US military. Know Your Tool!
im sooo confused on how you like calculate how many clicks u turn to estimate or change for a 100 yrd shot 50 yd etc.. my crosman phantom is set at 25 yards now and i dont take anything down unless its within range can sm 1 help me understand how to adjust leverage and winidage etc
Hey FYI for ya, I went and picked up the Viper. It came with what I would think is a decent scope. But I'm still after the CP since I seen your vid. Gotta tell ya...If ya get a chance to check one out try it! I compared the Whisper to the Viper, and they both looked nice, but I opted for the Steel barrel. I'm diggin the heavy weight to it. Wife likes it, so thats a plus ;)
hey Rick, Did you use the same scope mount that came with the gun? I might go later today and get the same set up, so thats why I'm asking. Wish me luck.
I gotta tell ya man, your vidoe's have convinced me enough to go out and pick up a Gamo gun. They all seem to have the same power plant, so I guess it's not that big of a deal which model I get. Although I'm kinda after the Whisper, or the Hunter series. While I'm at it I might even check out a Center point scope now...lol. Keep the vid.'s coming.
question: how can i lighten the trigger pull with the one i alreay have? i c a small flat head screw but i dont know wi=hich way to turn it to lighten it up. help
The adjustment screw on the stock trigger does nothing to "lighten" pull because the blade still retains the same geometry no matter how you slice it...
All it does is increase (clockwise) or decrease (counter-clock) the length of the second stage...
Honestly, I wouldn't waste time with it as the GRT-3 is far superior in every way...
oh thank you 4 the quick lesson. i know where to buy this GRT-3 Trigger but on how to install it...yea i can figure it out if there were instructions.
Is this the Caldwell "ZERO MAX" rest your using? Would you say it's more than sufficient for an air rifle? It's pretty affordable at $40. Thanks. Steve

ah, i see :) the scope i ordered has an ao so is that what ill have to do if i wanted to shoot 100 yards? even if its zeroed for 20?
ButtPlugPooFace 1 year ago
It's not that simple.
The AO only adjusts for paralax and actually has little to do with zero'ing.
It basically allows you to adjust the objective lens to give you a sharper image based on the given target range.
You still need to make click adjustments to zero in on your target.
Going from a 20 yard zero to a 100 yard zero can mean upwards of 110+ clicks depending on your rifle and ammo.
If you don't want to waste time adjusting, you can use MilDots if you have them.
98snakeeater 1 year ago
haha, your dogs a dude ;) and by the way, what did you do to the scope to quick zero for the 100 yard shot?

Nothing will change with your field of view, if that's what you're saying....
The change will be a difference in point of impact...
Try taking a few 50 yard shots with your target at center reticle....
Then make a large adjustment (say two revs) and try taking the same shots again with the target at center reticle....
Your shots will either be higher or lower than before the adjustment...

that would work great i'm sure. but check the parallax adjustment. sometimes the parallax adjustment on Center Points is too short for firearms. like their 4-16x40 scope, i use it on an airgun, but i don't see much use for a firearm because the maximum for the parallax adjustment is 100 yards. i don't assume firearm shooters would find much use of that. but i'll bet this scope has good parallax adjustment.

Well, for a .22, you really aren't trying to hit much over 100 yards. Just not enough power.
zchris87v 2 years ago
you might want to recheck the scope. i have the 4-16x40 and the parallax is adjustable from 5 yds. to infinity. i us mine on a 300 win mag. it has plenty of parallax adjustment for a high powered rifle.
banjoboyjohn 2 years ago
hmm... i just assumed that because infinity is really not infinity. my old scope that was supposedly for airguns (PCP airguns) had parallax adjustment from 7.5 yards to infinity but before it got to infinity, it went out to 300 yards on the adjuster thing (which was a piece of crap) but i assumed that if the readings go from 100 yards straight to infinity, then infinity on that scope must be shorter than the supposed infinity on my old scope. that didn't make any sense, but i think you're right

my firend told me mil-dots are better than the plain crosshair. its that actully true or just his opinion?
drunkdrive1218 2 years ago
This is true if you actually use the MilDots, however, I prefer a fineline crosshair as I take all my shots from center reticle...
98snakeeater 2 years ago
My scope came with a cheat card explaining tactical mil-dot range estimating, but it appears the inch to meter conversions are incorrect. My sources show 1"=.0254m so 79" should = 2.007m but the Center Point chart shows 79"=1.829m
So very strange. Do you happen to have the cheat card and a reasonable guess to the discrepancy?

ok i have a bit of a dilema my gun which is very similar to yours, a gamo varmint hunter, and i went out and bought a scope and mounts to fit it and the gun wont adjust far enough to actually sight it in it is very frustrating because i had it mounted on the same gun and it worked fine then when it broke i exchanged it and now it doesnt work with the new one do you know what to do the gun is shooting too high and the scope cant compensate for the hight
pyroman13524 2 years ago
Which scope did you get?
There has been a bad batch of CP and Leapers 40mm scopes in circulation for some time now that have the same results...
98snakeeater 2 years ago
it is a cp 4x16 and i have had it for a while do you think it would be the scope... it all makes sence now when i put it on my first gun i had had that gun for a while and it had lost so much power and the pellet would drop like crazy and with my new one it has all the power so maybe the scope never did workproperly... do you think there is any way to get my money back that thing was expensive and all it is good for is a club
pyroman13524 2 years ago
If it's a 40mm scope, then it's very possible that it's part of the bad batch...
The lack of adjustment would mean having to shim the rear of the scope to get within standard adjustable range...
Contact CenterPoint and they'll be glad to swap it out for you as they've done so for many with the same problem...
98snakeeater 2 years ago
thanks for the advice i looked at it and it is a 40mm i am going to email them and see if i cant get a new one or do you think that walmarts supply would have been gone through by now i could just exchange it there
pyroman13524 2 years ago
dude your dog is totally chill lol anyways just wondering what softwear you said and i figured your air rifle is a bolt action type and not a brake barrel like mine. is the bolt action type better or are they the same
XXXSwampFoxXXX 2 years ago
his gun is a break barrel and the only bolt action ones that are worth getting are pcp powered and cost over $400
pyroman13524 2 years ago
The Whisper is a Break Barrel rfle...
A good bolt action PCP will give you more accuracy and stay consistent as you don't have to move the rifle away for every shot, but the good ones don't come cheap and the cheap ones don't come good....

There's waaaay too much info to type out here lol
Your best bet is to go to PyramydairDOTcom and checkout their scope installation guide...
From there, print out a proper MOA chart for your ammo/rife combination and just head out to the range, setting markers at multiple distances...
It's not sumthin that can be learned overnight, so just fire off a few thousand rounds and keep track of each one...

Hey, try this scope on a deer hunting rifle. I have 2 of the same exact scope because they are nice. 70 bucks at wally world. I have on scope on my .223 M4 Carbine, and another on my 30-.06 Remington 700. So far, on both weapons the scope have performed flawlessly, except when i dropped it about 3 feet on to the floor, oops. On the .06 though, the one i have i can shoot a 3 round fist sized shot group at 300m. I have also taken out bottle caps at that range.

about how much would this scope go for? and how many fps is ur gun. would it matter if it dosent go that fast as in the fps. because i have a crosmanstorm xt and i need a new scope what would u reccomend. thank you

bro im gonna buy a gamo whisper VH but I hear that the recoil pin of the scope damages the rail. Do you have this same problem or you just take out the pin?
strangedead123 3 years ago
The reason why the stop pin damages the rail is because it requires a couple drops of threadlocker to stay in place...
Without it, the pin tends to back out over time..
98snakeeater 3 years ago
thanks men but I dont know what is threadloker and were do I buy it?
strangedead123 3 years ago
another thing you have this problem or you are asuming? anyway thanks its always good to fing another airgun collector that could help you
strangedead123 3 years ago
When I first got the rifle, I noticed a bit of scope creep about 100 shots after I installed the scope..
The stop pin had backed out even though I tightened it as much as I could...
After that, I put a few drops of blue locktite on the pin and it's been solid eversince...
It's actually common knowledge among the Gamo crowd...
98snakeeater 3 years ago
threadlocker is just a fluid that hardens up and prevent metal to metal fasteners from moving due to vibration...
Any decent hardware store, hobby shop or automotive parts supplier will have it...
Look for "Blue Locktite" as it's removable (Red is permanent)

1 of the simplest ways is to keep your scope set at 25yd, and then set it for something like 40yd, then 50 yd, ect. As you change from 25yd to what ever count your clicks and write them down on paper....ergo...40yds would be lets say 27clicks up, and 4 clicks left. Bingo now you should be set up for 40yds. All this will take time and work on your part. This is a sure fire method, and still used in US military. Know Your Tool!

Hey FYI for ya, I went and picked up the Viper. It came with what I would think is a decent scope. But I'm still after the CP since I seen your vid. Gotta tell ya...If ya get a chance to check one out try it! I compared the Whisper to the Viper, and they both looked nice, but I opted for the Steel barrel. I'm diggin the heavy weight to it. Wife likes it, so thats a plus ;)
kissmyarz 3 years ago
hey Rick, Did you use the same scope mount that came with the gun? I might go later today and get the same set up, so thats why I'm asking. Wish me luck.

I gotta tell ya man, your vidoe's have convinced me enough to go out and pick up a Gamo gun. They all seem to have the same power plant, so I guess it's not that big of a deal which model I get. Although I'm kinda after the Whisper, or the Hunter series. While I'm at it I might even check out a Center point scope now...lol. Keep the vid.'s coming.

question: how can i lighten the trigger pull with the one i alreay have? i c a small flat head screw but i dont know wi=hich way to turn it to lighten it up. help
Dingusmaster792 3 years ago
The adjustment screw on the stock trigger does nothing to "lighten" pull because the blade still retains the same geometry no matter how you slice it...
All it does is increase (clockwise) or decrease (counter-clock) the length of the second stage...
Honestly, I wouldn't waste time with it as the GRT-3 is far superior in every way...
98snakeeater 3 years ago
oh thank you 4 the quick lesson. i know where to buy this GRT-3 Trigger but on how to install it...yea i can figure it out if there were instructions.
Dingusmaster792 3 years ago
Hey Rick,
Is this the Caldwell "ZERO MAX" rest your using? Would you say it's more than sufficient for an air rifle? It's pretty affordable at $40. Thanks. Steve
