A couple years ago, I jacked up my slick Moss 4x4 on a gravel trail. So, I decided to just go out and get an inexpensive rifle for deer hunting in TN. No real need for a sniper rifle here. Anyhow, I bought a Moss 100 ATR .30-06 from WalMart. The idea was to put my Nikon ProStaff on it, and head to the woods. However, a new gun needs a new scope, and my wife talked me into getting the Centre Point 4-16x40 until I had saved up enough for another Nikon.
I bought it, and didn't expect much, but when I got to the range I was very pleasantly suprised. This thing has alot of features, clear optics, and has held it's zero as well as any of my higher-end scopes. I ended up not even replacing it on the ATR as it suites my needs and then some.
A year or so after that I got bored (retired military) and got a job at WalMart. I went to work in the Sporting Goods department because of my knowledge of guns and such. Now, I worked at a store right outside Fort Campbell, KY and always had young joes coming in looking for an inexpensive setup for hunting around TN and KY. The gun I usually pushed the most was the ATR, and I always pointed them toward the Centre Point scopes. Inside of my 10 months at the store I had countless guys coming back to tell me how happy they were with the setup because of the value, and quality of both the rifle and scope.
My opinion: Get the scope. It's almost impossible to beat the quality that you get for that $70 price tag.
