About 4 years ago, a well-meaning relative gave one to me at Christmas. It sat unused for a couple of years until I purchased a Savage BTVSS. Mounted the scope and have never looked back. It is what it is, but it sure works for me. As a matter of fact, last year I purchased another Savage (TR) and mounted another Centerpoint. Two of my favorite .22 to shoot and I have not had any problems with the scopes. Don't know if I would mount on anything stronger, but for a .22 they work.
