I purchased one because I wanted to look at some of the particular aspects of a scope of that type, 10-40. I have not had a lot of problems with mine, other than that adjusting the focus knob causes the reticle to move... not what I would call a desirable feature. It is a CHEAP scope. I got mine for under $114, brand new. It has worked OK for me, once figuring out the focus issue. I would not purchase another, I would not recommend anyone purchase one. When "shooting the box", accuracy is good, precision is not, which means it has poor repeatability. It performed well on 30-06, which is mostly where I used it. The illuminated reticle is way too bright. The focus problem I have named the "mad eye moody effect", if you are familiar with Harry Potter. I could have an anomalous scope, have not attempted to send it in for repair. If it fails, I will probably just shoot it with my .458 Lott.
I know a guy in South Africa who uses one to hunt, at night, big cats which attack his animals. He likes his.
Purchasing NcStar is a crap shoot, in my opinion. I suggest explore other options. |
