The Center Point website claims 40 MOA of adjustment, and I believe it. I had a springer that I thought would need a drooper mount until I tried the Center Point. I've used these scopes extensively in testing airguns, even on harshly recoiling springers, with no failures so far.Jock Elliotthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17856044820473990888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18376485.post-22295686071447613132008-05-19T15:45:00.000-07:002008-05-19T15:45:00.000-07:00I would love to see a Christmas tree inside a bushnell elite 4200 6-24X scope. <BR/><BR/>Currently I shoot with the Legends and find them good because they offer lots of play in elevation. But there is not enough for the DAQ. But there is plenty for the effective range of my ZMRapid MKII. The Tasco 2.5-10X was used extensively with my 707 and kodiaks @ 38 fpe and it was an accurate plinker @ 120 yards when the scope was turned down to lower power. I could consistently hit dried rounded horse poo....and knock it around a bit. That scope was appropriate for the range of this gun. It now resides on my FN8.@12fpe.......That is the perfect scope for this pistol IMO. It has reliably taken pigeons out to 72 yards in a carbine stock and 68 yards in the pistol grip with one shot stops. The play in these mildots works like this....sight in with the the poi at 15 yards as to remove 1/4" sticker dots or shoot one holeintoanother hole groups. Dead on is 30 yards. Bottom dot down is 41 yards...<BR/><BR/>DutchAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
