Is that a reflex style red dot mounting plate behind the top turret? What footprint?

A
Answered by Jon, member, from MI, United States, on October 23, 2025

I called the manufacturer and found it the footprint is proprietary to their own red dot sights. The sights that will fit are the NcSTAR Micro Tactical Green Dot Sight w/ On/Off Switch, Color: Black, Battery Type: 3V Lithium, CR2032 — 3 models

Will this scope work on a 6.5 Grendel?

Expert Answer

Answered by Ethan, Gear Expert, from IL, United States, on March 24, 2022

The NcSTAR MARK III Gen3 Tactical 3-9x40 Rifle Scope with the P4 reticle BDC and Mil-Dot BDC is designed to be calibrated with M193 55gr. ammunition and not 6.5 Grendel. You can still use this optic, but the BDC will not be accurate to your caliber.

How good can you see at night

A
Answered by Jim, member, from IN, United States, on July 23, 2018

It’s typical of most 40mm scopes at night, it is not a night vision scope but will give you some light amplification similar to what you get from a pair of binoculars. I own this scope in black and it’s adequate on a rimfire application and even om my Scorpion 9mm Carbine, but you might be pushing your luck on anything larger. I like it on the Carbine though, it’s a good match.
