Rifle Scopes Internal Elevation Adjustment.

[ms6852]

Hope you guys that own a Nightforce do not get offended by this question. I am setting up a low budget 22lr trainer for my godson and was wondering what the internal adjustments of the Centerpoint scope from Walmart were? I am hoping to reach out to 200 yds with this get up. He is only 8 yrs old and is terrible in math and I figure this will get him interested. I hear good reviews for the money.
If anyone here has one for themselves or their sons would appreciate your help.

Their price points/experience will probably better match what you're after. Scopes discussed here are usually meant to take a chunk out of the moon

I did and had no replies. It is funny because in both forums I have read about this scope but no takers. Maybe the post was kinda late in the day.

Wait a minute- WalMart.. National chain... must have a liberal return policy...

Buy it. Test it. If you don't like it, return it!

huckleberry,

To reach 200 yds with a .22lr, and a 50 yd zero, you will need around 27-28 MOA with match ammo.

That means your scope needs 44 to 46 MOA at the least, and better would be 50 MOA+ as the real minimum.

Anytime a scope maker, like Centerpoint, does not list there adjustment range, you can almost bet it is pretty dismal or else they would be telling you what it is.

I don't know what the Centerpoint is selling for @ Walmart, but any halfway decent scope, that will have a mildot reticle, and enough internal adjustment, and the parallax adjustment which is necessary for making a 22lr useful at all ranges; Will cost you somewhere north of $200. You can find some good scopes in the under $300. range, for example, plus some just over.

If you are really serious about a 200 yd 22lr, that's what you will have to spend. If you willing to limit shots to under 100 yds, then Centerpoint and host of others will also work.

So you may well consider spending a little more, and starting the lad off right.

YMMV and IMHO,
