3-9X42 Compact-Red and Green Illuminated Mil-Dot/Green Lens/Quick Release

I bought this scope to mount on a flat top AR-15 with 20" barrel. It is absolutely perfect. It is very difficult to find a good scope for ARs. Most 3x9 scopes are too long to mount and still maintain a good shooting position with enough eye relief. Without a modified stock, a scope of less than 8" is almost a necessity. Most of the smaller tactical scopes such as the ACOG are very expensive (600$-1200$). This scope gives you comparable performance to an ACOG at 1/10 the price. I am in the army and use the ACOG regularly. The biggest advantage I can see of the ACOG over this scope is durability, (but how many of us honestly need a scope that is waterproof up to 100 meters and can withstand the shock of a two story fall?). This scope also gives you the added versatility of 3x9 power, when most of the more expensive tactical scopes are fixed 4x. The bullet drop compensator works great. The settings go from 100-500 meters. I was able too score hits on a life size silhouette at...Read more

ordered this scope for an AR rifle i was going to use for target shooting. was skeptical about these "budget" optics. you can read all over the web about people bashing budget optics and sticking to the "big" names. i have alot of "big" name scopes...they have plenty of problems too. for the cost i cant say a bad thing about this scope. the quick release mount is straight forward. gotta tighten the bracket screw before pulling on the lever. bit of guess work about too tight or too loose OR breaking it :). i took my time with the mounting and made sure it was secure and well placed. after bore-sigthing it i went to zero it with some real ammo. the expensive optics out there save u no time in zeroing. it took my about 4 rounds at 100 yards to get it. the windage and bullet drop compensator work perfectly. each "click" is a consistent one, exactly the movement u want. the sight is clear and the zoom stays clear all the way up to max magnification. its compact if not the lightest scope,...Read more

I wondered when I read about the NcStar line of tactical Series scopes if they could be any good...Especially since they are 1/4 the starting price of any "Big Name" tactical scope.

The unit assembled perfectly to my rifle and the sighting ( using a Laser
Bore sight ) was easy and effective.

The unit is very accurate out to it's design parameters. I have not tried to use it for more than a few hundred yards as I really don't feel a tactital scope is the right match for basic Ruger Mini 14 at over 200 yards....

I am very pleased at the performance of this scope and have just ordered another for my Beretta CX Storm....
