Yep, so after the Crosman cancellation I went ahead and ordered the 4.5-27x50 $209 scope above, will check it out real good when it arrives, thanks.
USPS need to REALLY get their act together. They have been sorely lacking in the efficiency department lately.Some get it in a week while thers in about 3 weeks.

I just measured the diameter of the knob for the 4-16X50 scope, and it is 1.25 inches. What is the diameter of the knobs that the wheels you mention are designed to fit? If they will not fit a 1.25 inch knob, they are of no use.
There are also striking similarities between Crosman Centerpoint and Leapers UTG side focus scopes and strongly believe they are both made at the same factory in China.
This it? According to Optics Planet it is.
I have my Crosman Challenger assembled, and in spite of everything I could do to screw it up, it's working, and will run some pellets across my chronograph tomorrow.I did mount the Centerpoint 4-16X50 scope and took it outside just to look through it, and am impressed with the bright image, moa reticle and 1/4 min turrets.After doing a bit of research, I ordered a UTG 100mm side wheel which has a removable hard foam insert that can be easily modified with a sanding drum and Dremel tool. There is a YouTube video showing this. My previous comments a few days ago about the elevation and windage knobs need to be put in context. I own 2 fixed steel tube K20 Weaver scopes made in the USA with fine hairline dot reticles, that have some of the best, crisp, and repeatable turrets that have ever been manufactured. I have one on a 22lr smallbore match rifle, and the other on a Savage bolt action in 308. These scopes while simple and old school will spoil you.
