Reddit reviews Centerpoint Optics 1-4x20 MSR Rifle Scope with Offset Picatinny Mount and Glass Reticle

Looked it up. Apparently it has "Extra-ling eye relief" according to the Amazon storepage

I have a V-tac 1-4x20, which is also branded as a Centerpoint at Walmart and sporting goods stores.

I swapped the mount to a slightly higher 1.5" mount. It works surprisingly well for being so cheap. Sweet FAL action.

For a clamp on suppressor look for a KAC style ones. The ICS one has O-ring you can remove to fit larger flash hiders.

Look into 1-4x20(24) tubes. Here are some that are up your alley.

I'm afraid it doesn't get much better than this.

>From the feedback on this sub, it seems obvious the general community thinks I should just get a normal scope, pay a lot for it, and forget the style.

This community is generally driven by purpose rather than aesthetics. Rifles are mostly bought for their performance and not their looks. That isn't to say that style isn't important but there are limits.

I ran one on my 5.56 AR for about a year till I sold it. I had to re-zero every 1000 rounds or so but it was never bad

This is what I currently use on my Avalon right now... I enjoy it but wish it had a 1-4x instead.

This will probably be my next purchase. Always having 3x zoom isnt the best...

Hope this helps

I know that not everyone here has the scratch for top-dollar optics, and some others just like to play around with various types of optics and may not care if they're top of the line, so this may be of interest to some of you.

A while back I ordered what I thought might turn out to be a dud, the Centerpoint "Tactical" 1-4x20 illuminated scope - it had great reviews and was touted as a sleeper deal on several forums and Youtube videos, so I thought, what the hell?.

What I received turned out to be a pretty good bargain: a basic 1-4x illuminated scope that is at least on par with the quality of my older Primary Arms 1-4x, but in a lighter and smaller package. In fact the build quality exceeds the PA scope in several areas, notably crispness of elevation/windage adjustments, and the quality of the illuminated etched reticle, which unlike the PA 1-4x scope, does not "bloom" the entire glass on higher power settings. The scope even includes a nice, solid centilever mount that puts it smack dab at the perfect height for the majority of AR rifles.

I thought it was a nice enough scope that I ordered a couple more, even though I hadn't decided what to do with them yet.

While this is probably not something you would want on a SHTF type rifle, so far it has done the job as a basic 1-4x that's affordable enough ($60) to top off several different non-essential rifles.

So far I have one living on a Sig 522, and another that has fared well on a 20" A4 clone. I was curious about whether or not this scope could handle .308/7.62 NATO, and after reading a handful of reviews that confirmed that it would without problem, I decided to see if I could adapt one to use with my Zastava M77.

To pair up with the M77, I wanted to try one of the cheap copies of Midwest Industries mounts before I considered dropping big coin on the real thing. I already have a genuine MI Gen 1 rail mount and a Chinese copy of it, and I could hardly tell the difference between the two. So, I went ahead and ordered a Chinese copy of a similar MI product:

The reviews were not great but I smelled a lack of understanding in how the mount works or is meant to be used, so I said fuck it and ordered one. If it didn't work out I was only out $30. When I received the mount, I found it to be solidly built, though the latch mechanism is a bit grittier than the previous MI mount copy I had purchased on Amazon.

Most here probably know that the MI style mounts can be easily modified to clamp on to the Zastava rail, and that took me about 5 minutes to mill out with a cheap 1/4" end mill in a drill press. The mount then slid on and indexed on the lower rail of the mount.

However I also found that the threaded clamping stud was hitting the side of the side rail, and needed to be relieved until it was flush with the surrounding inner surface of the mount. Otherwise, the mount did not fully clamp down square and flat onto the side rail. I removed the threaded clamping stud and ground a flat section on a bench vise until it was flush when inserted. Another 5 minute job. The mount now slides on and clamps securely to the Zastava side rail.

With the scope installed in the mount, it sits a touch just to the right of the centerline - this may vary for each individual rifle. Peering through the scope on 1x, the reticle is directly above the front sight post, and appears to be centered, but this will possibly change once the scope is zeroed.

The scope rests far enough forward that relief is good at all magnificiation levels using the 8.5" version of the ACE modular stock.

Shown in the photos is the scope set to 1x with the reticule set to maximum red illumination - there is also a green setting which I prefer not to use.

UNFORTUNATELY - this combination did not work out with any other AK I tried it on - I tried it on Bulgarian, Russian, and Romanian variants, and on each one the rear housing of the scope hit the top cover and prevented the magnification from being adjusted. However as you can see it appears to be almost perfect on a Zastava AK.

All in all this appears to be a good way to top your Zastava rifle with a cheap 1-4x optic. If some of you are interested I'll post back in a couple of weeks once I've had a chance to get out the range and get zeroed, and to see if the optic holds up to .308/7.62 NATO. If it holds up to this cartridge fine, I would expect no issues on a 7.62x39 or 5.56 Zastava.
