Reviews & Ratings for NcSTAR Red Dot Sight - 1x42 B-Style - Weaver Base — 8 reviews — Page 1

mounted on my 5.56 to see if it could handle the kick. I zeroed it in and sent about 250 rounds down range and it never lost zero might buy another for my mck

the system wouldn't accept my short review

This red dot sight is a 5 star sight . Good clear glass . Excellent sized red dot. But mounting hardware is cheaply made and has to be tightened down every 10 or so rounds . Other than that ..... very pleased.

I use this on a 30/30 and I have made about 70-80 shots and I still have a good aim it is everything that I read about I even use it on my shotgun and the thing is steel intact I don't know about you guys but I am very happy with this red dot. The main purpus for this dot is hunting hogs and I go at least 1 weekend a month since I bought this I sited on my 30/30 and I didn't have to sighted again until I put it on my 12g for slugs

Got it for the large view area and small dot. High marks in those areas. The dot doesn't cover up the target, stays very small, and is bright enough in sunlight even on the lower brightness settings. Sighted in quickly. Adjustments click nicely and seem solid. Only problem is that on my 9mm carbine the mounting screws come loose after 10-20 rounds. That rifle doesn't have much recoil. Could be the cheap rail on my rifle is part of the problem, but when I tighten it down I expect it to stay there. Doesn't get loose enough to fall off or anything like that, but definitely has to get tightened every few shots. Once mounted, sighted in, and tightened down, I am able to group shots consistently to my satisfaction. I did not have to sight it in after taking it off and putting it back on, as long as I used the same distance, of course. Note that one of the two mounting screws can be adjusted forward/backward a little bit, giving you a bit of flexibility in mounting.
Pros: small dot, bright dot, large view area
Cons: mounting screws won't stay tight

To be honest I thought that this sight would be powerful enough to shoot in daylight. I was disappointed to say the least. It is very easy to mount, stayed tight during shooting of 50 rounds of .40 ammo. But it has to be nearly a black background to see any target.
Pros: Very easy to use and setup
Cons: Not powerful enough

Mouted on a polish milled ak with dph arms quad-rail system. Mounted without problems and kept zero after shooting a couple clips. havent tested battery life yet, hope it's good. Would reccomend for anyone looking for an inexpensive scope for shooting 100 yds. or less.
Pros: Light, BIG, and cheap
Cons: paid $40 not $30
