Me and some others have purchased some NCStar products here recently. flip up sights, halographic sights, tac flashlights, etc. thes products are cheaply made and do not function as designed. please reconsider before trying to "save" money with these products. sorry if i cant rant and rave here if so i appologize. giving a friendly warning.

I have a little "cheapy" NCStar 4x scope. You basically get what you pay for. It works, but nothing great...... I did replace it with a UTG 4x short scope which is a little better.

However, I do use CARDs (Cheap Ass Red Dot) sights on some of my SMGs with OK results. Sorry, but I just can't justify spending big $$$ on ACOGs & EOTECHs and other better dot sights. Currently my life does not depend on my CARDs...............

i cant afford a lot myself lol. i was just saying to be catious. out of all the items that we have fooled with the halographic sight was the only decent product. still doing a time trial on it though.

I used an NC Star holographic sight on a .22 and it worked great. Maybe not something I'd put my life on as said above, but did good for the money.

I took a chance and bought a 3-9x42 rubber armoured NCStar scope for my M&P 15. These usually sell for around $159. I found one somewhere online for $105. It just came in the mail yesterday so I only have had a chance to mount it. Off the bat it appears that the reticle is canted about 5 minutes clockwise. Being as the main purpose for this rifle is plinking, I dont think this will be a major issue. Maybe I can get some rounds downrange this weekend.

I purchased a NCStar red dot a couple of years ago in an attempt to save some cash. I'll NEVER buy their products again. The entire assembly was plastic not aluminum. The controls were near impossible to manipulate. I gave it to me friend's four year old son to put on his BB gun. He won't even use the thing. Granted, I probably got the worst product that NC offers but that left a bad taste in my mouth. I'd rather do without than use their sights again.

you know if your looking for a decent dot sight check out bushnells..150-200 bones. still alot cheaper than a ACOG

I got the chance to play.with one of the bushnell scopes like that yesterday. For $100-150 it is WELL worth the money. The worst ncstar product we tried was the flip up sights.

Wish I would have read this last week cause last week I ordered a NCStar Red Dot and an NCSTAR weaver Bipod.

I received my Red Dot today which I ordered from NCStar. Its not and NCStar though, its a Barska and it has an all metal housing. Also has an integrated rail mount.

Good luck .with it bud

Check out primaryarms stuff to save some $. About the same cost and much better product in my opinion.

I was just Fixin to post about my experience with ncstar this weekend. I ordered a 4x30 scope for the McCain shoot. Zeroed it at the 25m zero per military protocol. During the first half of the first relay everything was dandy. Then I started noticing everything hitting low and left and the little green men were laughing. I adjusted with my hold. Well the enemy went to hitting the deck. On the way back from lunch I dropped by my local shooting location and checked my zero. Sure enough at 25m I was 3" low and 3" left. I then redeemed and continued to camp McCain. After a few rounds the scope lost zero again. All this from a compensated ar15. I could understand these results from a heavy recoiling rifle. So I switched to irons and continued shooting.

Made a mistake, I didnt order my Red Dot through NCStar, I ordered it through csnstores.com through Wal-Mart.

Yeah NCStars doesn't have the best reputation on the internet. I hate seeing people at their booths at the gun shows and just want to steer them away.

Thanks for the post, I was thinking about getting one. I have an Eotech so this was going to be just for plinking on another rifle. Saved me time and money so again Thanks.
