Reviews & Ratings for NcSTAR Ultimate Sighting System Gen II 3-9x42mm Rifle Scope w/ 1x Micro Red Dot Sight — 40 reviews — Page 1

The scope has a redical that is off and tilted to the left with no way to adjust it . The red dot scope has hex screws that do not t come off to install the battery

Because of the price I did not expect much and that’s exactly what I got. It’s a serviceable system, but the micro red dot is almost impossible to zero. The scope is not bad but it feels like a cheap optic, which is what it is. I would have returned it, but my wife threw away the box so now I’m stuck with it.

First, I am new to scopes and one thing this product did not have was any instructions on proper installation. Second, the clamp system for the rail would only stay on for a couple of rounds and then became so loose it would fall off. The red-dot is cheap and barely put together.

Haven't installed it yet. It seems fairly well constructed though there's a slide switch on the back of the red dot that appears very unsealed - like something you'd find on a piece of indoor electronics, not a field weather protected switch. The other switches are very difficult to turn, so assume they have an o-ring.

The windage adjustment is sealed, you just turn it on the outside - no locking feature. The elevation adjustment has a cap and a screw inside to adjust, the cap has an o-ring. This difference is unusual.

The scope is illuminated and the battery access is on the left, on top of the on/off/strength turret. The manual says it comes pre-installed - it does not. The red dot battery is under the red dot (a common configuration) and you have to take it off it's mount to insert/replace the battery.

The manual also says the red dot is mounted on a picatinny/weaver rail and comes off the tube mount which encircles the scope in the back half - it does not. I'm not sure how it comes off, if at all. There's supposed to be a thumb nut to remove it, this is missing on the red dot.

It appears this is designed by an engineer with no shooting experience, and no shooting consultant to advise on the design. I need to put the batteries in and see if it all works. If so, then try it on the intended rifle (Ruger 10/22 carbine). If it all works, I'll probably keep it anyway because it was $70 and I don't intend to stress it durability wise. If any issues, I will return for mo...

Product arrived in a timely fashion, mounted to the pica tinny rail w/o issue and got it zeroed in very quickly. Good scope, reasonal=ble price and meets the needs of an average shooter. I'm not looking to win competitions, just be able to see my target pull the rtrigger and hit it. Much better than the iron sites I was using for short distances (100-200 yds) and low lite conditions where it's hard to pick out a deer in the dim light.

This thing looks awesome on my red aero precision. 556. The sniper scope is very accurate.i only had trouble with the attached red dot,I couldn't get it to zero in, because the adjustment screws bottomed out or just seized. I got an RMA to send it back for repair. Hope they can repair it. It was the primary reason I was drawn to this setup, honestly

Great Scope which I think I will be easier to Zero.

Great customer service and Great product availability. Will definitely purchase again.

I had the scope mounted on my AR with the scope covers on and then I accidentally dropped it. Of course, I did my research on this scope and saw that it could withstand a beating, but lo and behold it had broken. The red dot on top of the scope had shattered but luckily the scope still works and kept zero. On the bright side, it keeps zero and is accurate and easy to adjust, but what use is a scope if it can’t handle a 3 ft drop.

Pros: I bought this little scope on sale and I gotta say the value for price is excellent; the glass is clear and image bright; 'controls' are smooth. I DO like the reticle and the fact that it's illuminated or not, your choice, plus a choice of blue or green.
Cons: I think the biggest 'con' is that the Red Dot sight makes using the 'powers' ring a bit difficult to use. When I mounted mine on my AR15, I had to 'adjust' the distance to provide for eye relief with a mind to access of the charging handle. Finally, I think (just my personal opinion here) I'd prefer a Red illumination in place of blue.
Would I buy this little scope again? Yes.
