The NcStar 1x30 B-Style Red Dot is a great value. I bought this for a .22 caliber Youth rifle and it performs very well. Combined with the price, this Red Dot is an excellent value.
Pros: Quality Construction, Solid Performance, Great Price
Would recommend: Yes

I can't tell what the optics are like because it would not mount solid. A good redneck would probably do a better job with Duct taping to the barrel.
Pros: Cheap
Cons: Mounting
Would recommend: Yes

After some Filing on the Mounts it finally mounted firmly. Then it shoots great. I went with large tube, for quick acquisition. Tube is so large centering the dot can be an issue, when extreme accuracy is required. Power Switch is very tight, but will probably loosen.
Pros: Large bright clear fast
Cons: Mounts Sloppy, maybe too big for just Dot.
Would recommend: Yes

super price, mounted on a 10/22 worked fine. minor touches to zero. Has not got out of zero through several hundred rounds. Did not expect much, because of the price, but it's fine for what it's worth. 10/22 FS Tactical, ATI stock, Tacticalsolutions mag. the little thing looks cool at least.
Pros: economical
Cons: switch for red dot is hard
Would recommend: Yes

Wanted an inexpensive red dot sight for an inexpensive .22 LR carbine, and the NcSTAR DBB130/3 fit the bill. Screwed right onto the top of my Marlin 795, and I got it zeroed within 30 rounds. Flip-up covers are a nice touch. Doesn't have a battery saver, i.e. a timer to turn off the red dot if you forget to turn it off, so if you leave it on, it will expend the battery. Rheostat on top adjusts the brightness of the red dot to match conditions; on a cloudy day, I could use brightness setting 2 or three. There are seven brightness levels, but as you turn it up, the red dot gets bigger and blurrier. Optics are what you'd expect for under forty bucks, so it's not going to be as clear as an EOTech, say; but it's not $500 to $1000, either. For what it costs, it's decent, and I'd recommend it for someone who wants an entry-level red dot that mounts atop a .22 LR with adapters, and doesn't want to spend a lot of money.
Pros: Easy to mount; Flip-up covers; Rheostat
Cons: No battery saver
Would recommend: Yes
