Best bet for the price - NcStar Tactical 2-7X32 Mark III Compact Rifle Scope, Black w/ Sunshade

Had this scope on my AR15 since last summer with 1000-1500 rounds of .223 and the scope holds well and has a clean reticle. It has a nice small size for adjustable magnification. There are only two things I don't like about it:

The illumination...The green seems a bit weak and with the green or red turned on you can see some colored light around the round parameter of the eye-piece.

The other thing that I don't like is the adjustment ring for the magnification. It is serrated for grip but I think they could've made it with a raised lever or bump for quicker and easier adjustment. Nothing bad overall but it could be better.

All in all for the money I don't think it can be beat. The finish has held up well. The quick release does a good job keeping the scope practically zeroed when reinstalled. The eye relief seems perfect for an AR...I do keep my stock a bit forward and I have the scope mounted forward too.

Pros: Inexpensive, small, easy controls
Cons: Illumination
