This review is from: NcStar 3-9X42E Red Illuminated Compact Scope/Ruby Lens (SEC3942R) (Sports)
Initially, this scope feels heavy, like maybe it's of some quality. I mounted this scope on my AR-15, and while looking around my yard with it, it seems good enough -let's face it, it's inexpensive so how good does it have to be?
I took it out on it's maiden hunting trip, hunting for small game in an open valley. I immediately realized that the optics on this scope were junk, there was a blur, or some sort of warp in the lense that wouldn't go away no matter how much tweaking or adjusting. It was like aiming the thing through a glass of water and then down-range. Also, the "spiffy illuminated reticle" has HUGE crosshairs. Aiming at a rabbit or a gopher at any distance is a joke because the massive, thick crosshairs end up covering what your aiming at. Sure they light up just fine, different levels too, but they're just too thick to be usefull.
Overall, the scope is heavy, the reticle lights well, but I doubt any sniper would use it with any attempt at...Read more

This may not be the best scope I have ever purchased, but it has gotten more use then any other. It gives nice clear images, holds it's settings, and is easy to adjust when needed. The clear, flip up covers make it easy to get off a quick shot. I would recommend this to someone on a budget, or even if you have a lot of money to burn, you will not be disappointed.

The scope is pretty much what you pay for. The worst part are the dials, they are rather cumbersome, but once I got mine zeroed in on my Bushmaster 7.62 I had no problems whatsoever. As for the guy who says the scope has paralax, he needs to flip up the plastic covers, its crystal clear when they're out of the way. The lighted crosshairs are also not of any importance when youre actually shooting, black is best. Really it is a great scope for the money.
