Great bargain scope. - NcSTAR 3-9X42 Compact Rubber ArmoRed/Dual III Rifle Scope

great little scope. mounted it on a 22lr for target/tactics shooting. nice clear optics, adjustable diopter, variable power stays clear up to max magnification. decent light transmission. the illumination is a bit bright and thick. the lens caps are a nice feature, just seem a bit flimsy. havent broken. the eye relief is a short one, with not alot of travel, but for my low caliber use its perfect. quick acquisition and great for successive shots. the rings come attached but take them off and mount them properly they are just slapped on their, no thought. ncstar warns about bumping or dropping the scope will lose zero. but i havent been the kindest at all to this scope with training and target shooting. and its held zero without question. i guess im just lucky. i recommend this scope for the price.
Pros: Clear Optics, rugged protective coating, solid rings
Cons: somewhat unforgiving eye relief, lens caps look weak
