Reviews & Ratings for NcSTAR Compact Rifle Scope - 4x22 Mini 14 Black Scope / Blue / Mount SCMBQ422B Rifle Scope — 2 reviews — Page 1

Not an expensive scope but good for plinking. The mount cover plate Is cut to small it is loose in the gun, when the mount is installed and the thumb screw is tight the the loose problem goes away but each time you remove the scope and replace it allows for it to be inaccurate. The mounting thumb screw is to long and depressed the Ejector Bolt Lock. A 2 mm washer is used to take up the extra thumb screw length. After shooting 5-10 rounds the scope was loose both at the thumb screw and all 4 of the mount to scope screws. Putting some locktite on the scope mount screws and find a lock washer for the thumb screw instead of the flat washer. I may recommend this if I thought the person I'm recommending it to understood the problems, I found and knew how to fix them.
Pros: Good Mounting Idea, 4xpower, like the range finder too.
Cons: Having to come up with fixes for loose mounts is a problem

I like the scope, but the mount will wobble up and down no matter how tight you make it. In order to make this useful I will have to shim the base of the mount where it contacts the stock. Very poor machining on the Bolt Stop cover
Pros: Cheap, descent scope, looks nice
Cons: Mount is not sturdy, only one point of contact
