Reviews & Ratings for NcSTAR Compact Rifle Scope - 2-6x28 Scope / Blue SC26287B Rifle Scope — 21 reviews — Page 1

worked well on my ruger 10/22.i would not use this scope on anything bigger than a 22lr.
for the price its not a bad little scope.remember you get what you pay for.if you are on a tight budget
this is the scope for you

This is an excellent scope for rimfire guns like the Ruger 10/22 and Henry lever-action rifles. I have purchased several of them. You can't beat them for the price, and the size is very handy for plinking or small-game hunting. My most recent purchase wears NcStar Quick-Detach rings and goes into the carry-bag with my 10/22 Takedown. It is compact, lightweight, and has a perfect magnification range for a .22 rifle. I have seen no issues with any of mine, but I have not used them on powerful rifles, just rimfires.

cheap!! cheap !!
Pros: size
Cons: broke after two shots

Really nice scope for the money, the only complaint I have is that you have to use a coin or flat head to adjust the windage and elevation.

On time free delivery,setup and zeroed easily. bright and clear. Good buy! Looks awsome on mt 10/22 with the Tapco
stock & muzzle brake.
Pros: looks great,easy to use

installed it on a Ruger 10/22 with a Tapco stock. Looks great and I am very satisfied with the performance and value. The service was outstanding. This was my second purchase from Optics Planet and they have come through with everthing they said they would do! I am looking to purchase a spotting scope and will look no further.
Pros: value, looks great
Cons: none

For the money, I am completely satisfied with this little scope. I wanted something that didn't look beastly on my 10/22... It seems all the popular scopes are about as long as the rifle they are mounted on. Low power works for close range active shooting, and 6x is just enough for 50 yd target shooting... I was even able to bust up clay pigeons at 100 yds without difficulty Perfect if you want something to start out with and have room to grow later.

I feel fortunate that I did not have any of the long-range blurring issues that others have reported. My one quirk is that you have to use a quarter or large screwdriver to adjust the scope... no easy adjust thumb studs here. It's not a big issue, but a matter of preference.
Pros: Compact, inexpensive, no blurring issues
Cons: Coin-adjustable turrets

THIS ITEM WAS FOR A WWII RIFLE AND NEEDED TO BE SHORT TO FIT THE WEAPON. PERFECT FIT AND WAS EASY TO ZERO IN THE SCOPE. THANKS GUYS.
Pros: FITS PERFECTLY
Cons: NONE

optic planet is a very good company to deal with fast service good product selection
Pros: good scope for the money
Cons: a little fuzzy at full power

Hopefully, the durability of this scope will match its usability features.
I had some fun working with the mil dot distance estimating feature. The literature I got on the scope didn't mention at what power the scope was calibrated for in using the mil dot -distance method.
Here's what I did:
I found a target some distance off- it's a patio door about 7 feet (2.1 m) from base to top, on a house that's 200 meters from my sighting point (I used Google satelite maps to determine the distance).
I rearranged the mil dot formula (see wiki) to solve for the number of mil dots: 10.6.
Sighting the patio door, I went from 2X to 6X to see where I got about 10.6 mil dots for the height of that patio door.
It was at 4X. Most scopes are calibrated to use their highest power for this method, but there is an advantage in using the middle power- it lessens the error if the shooter forgets to select the correct power at which he counts the mil dots on his distant object.





Pros: compact, quick 2 eye sighting at 2X
