the $70 price point has 2 scopes that to me seem to offer a lot of features , power and quality for the price . they are the ....

and wally worlds ....

CenterPoint CPA416ORG2

to me they look the same and from what i understand centerpoint and leapers/utg are both owned by the same parent company . any how , are these scopes exactly the same ? or is one better than the other , and if it is , why . same glass ? same coatings and gas ?

is the UTG a step up from the centerpoint or 5th gen leapers line ? or just different lettering on the scope ?

centerpoint and leapers were one entity at one time but centerpoint moved on . both are foreign made (chinese ?) and by the looks of things they come from the same factory but each is most likely built with slightly  different specs --- meaning the ones for leapers will be slightly different somewhere in the specs than the centerpoint and visa versa .it could the the glass or something else ,i can't say for certain. i would go with the centerpoint from the stand point that wally world is a lot closer to me than PA/LEAPERS if the is a problem --- i haven't heard too many things about leapers butthe centerpoints yes .i have two(4-16X40AO) and one is crap but works and the other is fine .so either way i think either is a good choice

I have the Centerpoint 4-16x40 and it's a very nice scope for the money. I ordered mine from WM online for about $70 delivered. I also have a Centerpoint 2-7x32 which is also nice but I don't like the lack of AO on that one.

I agree with eric there the same thing. I have both and dont have a problem with them remember there not $200 scopes so for a pellet gun there just fine.

thanks folks . when the time/money is right ill get the CP from wally world . if for some reason i dont like it i'll take it back and either get the 4-16x50AO leapers from PA or the full size (non-compact) 30mm 3-12x44AO .
