Ncstar 4x42mm rubber armor p4 sniper scope - NC Star 3-9x42mm Rubber Armored Mark III Tactical Rifle Scope

PYang004's Review of NC Star 3-9x42mm Rubber Armored Mark III Tactical Rifle Scope
As expected from a $110 scope the finish and quality is not the best, but it get by just fine. By this I mean the rubber coating is a sleeve type cover. So the fitting is not entirely tight around all areas. There are areas that you can feel the rubber loose against the metal body. One spot that I noticed was the top adjusting knob. The cap to adjust the height of the reticle when tighten all the way down will push against and pinch the rubber coating there. You can tighten it all the way, just tight enough against the rubber.
The quick release mount works very well. Read the instruction manual to see how to adjust the quick release mount and it fits perfectly well.
The illuminate scope is blue and has 5 brightness settings. The same adjustment knob will also set the laser to on as well. The laser can be set to on with the reticle off. Or the laser on with the reticle on one setting.
All the know feel well built and have a firm click when applicable. The knobs that don't click sit firming on their settings.
The eye end piece. That's the smaller side on the stock end. Is the only gripe I have. It is a focal piece that can adjust for near/far sighted people. Clockwise all the way in is for nearsighted people. Counter clockwise all the was out is set for farsighted people. That's works great, but the piece does not sit firmly on it's setting. It can easily be moved out of adjustment. And when you adjust the focal piece it turns the scope cover around into a weird position.
Overall this scope is really good for the price, but you can't expect the best at this price point. So I didn't have any disappointment at all. I'm still waiting to find time to test this scope on my 22lr and 5.56.
Pros:
Fair price
Good quality for price
Knobs feel firm
Knobs hold position well
Cons:
Focal adjuster easily move out of setting
Poor rubber coating tightness to metal body
Best Used for:
Low recoil guns
Would Recommend:
Yes
