There is just so much good and bad stuff on any scope you decide to look up, it makes it seem like toss up.

I found a CenterPoint Illuminated 4-16x40mm Scope Model number CPA416ORG2 and the reviews are very positive for both ML and rifle. You can get them at Walmart for around $70

Anyone had any experience with this scope or scopes made by CenterPoint?

Price and expected quality of a scope in my expectance has been a mixed bag. I have had $350 ML scopes and it lasted about 12 shots before coming apart and the replacement they sent lasted 3 shots they did refund my money. On the other hand I have bought cheap $40 rifle scopes and it lasted for years and I removed it to try something different another cheap scope30 shots or so it was finished and unusable I think with scopes it just how good of a job they putting them together and not the name or price on the box.

The reason for a limited budget is I will be have surgery next week and I will have to by a crossbow with a crank and that will be in the $450+ range with the crossbow I am looking at.

So to be honest I am looking at under $100 so any suggestions are welcome!!!
Might take a look at either of these...

Do not let the price fool you - they are better than you might think...
