    GPO rifle scopes8

    Good Evening. GPO Scopes, who's running them, are you happy, is the glass good, what model do you have, it looks like u can have ground floor to Pent House models. I'd like to get 3 good scopes for my .223, .257R and .270 Wsm to see me out. I love the look (and price) of the GPO Centuri 2.5 -15x44 but can't find a weight. Any one got one of these? What do they weigh? I Would prefer an inch scope to be honest but just a poor old pensioner now.
    I'm trying to get to heaven before they shut the door.

    Stock them at work and am using a few myself.

    Yes the glass is good. The 2.5-15x44 Centuri is meant to weigh 650g.

    Feel free to flick me a message or give me a shout on Monday.

    I have a Spectra 4-16x50i. It’s a good scope, a bit bulkier/heavier than I really like for bush hunting when mounted on my 223. It’s good for open area hunting and range shooting out to 900 yds. Have had it mounted on 223 and 6.5CM. Well matched with 6.5. Have looked at other models and would consider purchasing in future. They’re good value for money.

    Good stuff, positive and affordable. I mean how hard can it to make 2-10, 3-15, 4-20 1 inch rifle scope simple reticle, decent glass with a zero stop. Jesus I'd buy a dozen

    I bought a 4-12 Passion when they first came out. Used it for a while and then put it onto a M55 Tikka .243 I gave to my Grandson. He uses it a lot.
    It's a damned good scope - sort of like a vx3 but is reliable. Tracks really well.

    Having said that, a member on here bought a flasher one and it never tracked properly. Agent offered him his money back or replacement and he took the money. Likely a one off and I wouldn't be concerned about it.
