I just posted this on GTA so I just copied it:

Well I went today but they were out of them so I order as ship to store. They said it will be about 10 days.
While looking around, I saw the one below on sale for $29.99. I like how small it is, but after 3 employees looked online and with me looking on my phone, we could not find out if the dot is 3 MOA or 5.
I'll have to research again, but I have a few days to cancel the order if I change my mind and I'm locked into the price for the Bushnells.
Not sure why I'm stuck on a red dot though. I'll have to look up what pistol scopes they have too.

I'm pretty sure that is not 5moa.  Those multiple reticle models have very fine crosshairs and a nice dot.  I'd say its 3moa.  I have a few of that style.  It's my favorite kind of electronic sight.

Thanks. I still haven't found confirmation anywhere online. You'd think they would know, that knowing the dot size is "kinda important".

How do you like it Mr. Crosliner?
I was going to start a new thread, but I guess I could ask here.
This is the scope I have on the way, and I have concerns:

It is a really good price on sale and with my Cabelas points, almost free. But I've had thoughts about cancelling it and ordering that Center Point instead. It's on sale for $29.99 so free to me.
I know I need adapters for the Bushnells (which I haven't looked into yet) but I assume the scope will have to sit over the breech opening. I'm used to my BSA red dot sitting forward of it and the breech opening clear. I like a scope that sits low, but I could see it being an issue loading pellets.
Any recommendations?

Hi again Mr. T..I like it  :) You know that Bushnell Trophy is made in Cebu Phils. as well as other scope brands..Quality control is said to be very stiff the bosses are mostly Caucasians and Japanese from what I have heard. We cannot buy from them though.

The 2 pc. low mount UTG adapter ( 1st page of this thread) works well this is my latest iteration as you can see..For the Burris FastFire only 1 pc. is needed though..For $29 that CP is a steal I would not hesitate to get 1 if I were in the US..You must have noticed that it takes months for me to get items from your country that is why I bulk buy..The box that recently arrived to me contained more than $2,000 worth of items between me and my nephew although the pics don't show all of the items he hoarded his already lol!

2 days since my arrival and I have already sold a lot of items..It would be stupid to keep all them goodies for myself imho..Got another box coming and even if it's not yet here the contents are already good as sold  :-*

I say go for it because at least there is a warranty for you being in the US but for me if it's a dud then it's trash  :) Regards.

Thank you Mr. crossliner. Hopefully it's not too late to cancel the Bushnell. I hate to do it because the dot is so tiny, but I can see issue with loading pellets if it's mounted over the breech.
