Scope is WELL worth the price - the mount somewhat difficult to get all the "moving parts" together at once for tightening. Plastic bushings are supplied to reduced the 30mm rings down to 1". When they got really hot in full sun, the zero shifted quite a bit...

It even included free shipping. I mtd it on my M4 and within a few shots was able to hole 2" groups at 150 yds. Probably my inability that prevented better.

This scope was snatched off the mount and placed on a 10/22 rather than an AR. It is an excellent application. It is clear and holds zero well.

After Shooting M4 with a Trijicon TA31 then going to another unit that gave an ole M16 as an assigned weaponed to deploy with. I felt out gunned. $38 for this 2-6x28 is a good deal. Luckily did have to use it at all while deployed except to qualify. This will let your M16 hit 600 meter targets on the KD range with no problem. Zeroing was tricky the first time for regular qualification. You want to aim center mass and have rounds strike 6 squares down. Then 250 and 300 meter targets come down with the crosshair on the head all other with center mass placement. Only hit 37 of 40 with ACOG and M4. Hit 40 of 40 first time on M16 with NcStar 2-6x28 handle mount. They should at least get us optics like these for Afghanistan.

The description did not indicate that the scope was designed for mounting on an AR-15 carry handle. Expected that it would come with Picatiny/Weaver mount hardware like other NC Star products. Needs better product photos and product description.

I bought this to relace BUIS and it does that job very well. Clarity is OK but considering the price, I expected it to be far worse.I like how compact it is and how light. One small not, it comes with a clear scope cover which allows you to shoot while the cover is still in place which could be handy in the rain or blowing sand that could damage the scope.
