First Look: GPO’s Centuri 3-12x44i Super Compact Riflescope

GPO USA has announced its latest high-performance riflescope—the Centuri 3-12x44i Super Compact—designed for shooters seeking a premium optic in a compact package.

Engineered specifically for short, ultralight AR-platform and rimfire rifles, the second focal plane (SFP) reticle Centuri riflescope incorporates a number of features desired specifically by North American shooters and hunters. Measuring just 9.9 inches in length and weighing only 18.9 ounces, it delivers the perfect blend of value and performance. The double HD glass elements provide exceptional optical clarity, ensuring vivid detail. The G4i illuminated micro-dot reticle enhances precision targeting, while the fast-focus ocular allows for quick adjustments.

Additional features include a 30mm tube, full 100-inch elevation- and windage-adjustment capabilities, and a third turret parallax adjustment knob, a particularly rare feature for a riflescope with a maximum magnification of 12X. It also boasts GPObright lens coating technology; Passiondrop hydrophobic lens coatings; SFP-capped ¼-MOA Zero-Stop reset turrets; and a magnification throw lever. The Centuri 3-12x44i comes with several accessories, including a see-through bikini scope cover for both the objective and ocular lenses, an instruction manual, a microfiber cleaning cloth and a CR2032 battery.

"This is a particularly unique scope for the compact riflescope market. It’s a precision, full-strength, big-bore riflescope built on a 9.9-inch frame," said Mike Jensen, owner of GPO USA. "A 3-12x44i scope, just over 9 inches, with a third turret parallax adjustment—MSR and rimfire guys are eating it up."

The Centuri 3-12x44i comes with GPO USA’s industry-leading Spectacular Lifetime Warranty, which is fully transferable. If the product is not functioning properly, GPO USA will repair or replace it with a product of equal or greater value in working condition.
