Subject: $200 center point 1.5-6x44?

follow up--
just got off the vice after a bore-sight on a free floated 16" upper.
turrets seem very solid, nice clicks and very positive feel in them. seemed to track very well too. each click moved the duplex the exact amount.
best china turrets i have seen in awhile.
the eye box seems pretty good , eye relief to me is around 3"=3.5" in contrast to the minox i had to move the scope back a bit. i looked through the scope, set the quick focus, and eye balled a few targets from 50 feet to 100m. it does not get much tighter a 4x-6x.
the eye position is not too bad either. this scope is light years ahead of that nikko-serling 1.5-6x44 i had a few years ago.
it is pretty clear with good color definition at the lower mag ranges 1.5-5x to 6x it gets slightly grainy. not bad but noticeable if you look for it. a little barrel roll around the edges --not real bad but it is there if you look hard. the center is decently clear and objects are well defined.
on glass quality i would say a vortex diamondback is better, a nikon pro-staff is a little better and this scope would be just below it by a tiny bit.
it is nice and bright all the way through the mag range .
i don't know if this would really be a $200 scope --that is a bit hopeful of centerpoint/crosman.
it is not a "junk" scope though. it seems quite a bit better than some of the lower end scopes i have seen from package stores.
a fair market price would be around $125-$140 i would think. you got to remember i'm coming from some good deals on vipers and minox ZA5s from SWFAs sample list so i am going to be a bit hard to impress on a budget class scope.
no we ain't talking "conquest" level glass , but it does pack quite a few high end features in a pretty decent scope.
i have only had it a few hours and i do like it better than the 3-9x bushnell box store scope that came on a axis bolt gun .
if you come across one of these it might be a good deal --just remember these are HUGE scopes they dwarf those 2-7x 32s in length. its weight is about the same as a optisan mamba --i would say around 17-19 oz-- so they ain't "light weight" either.
looks like it was a good deal so far. we just have to see if it holds up--
