At any magnification over 3x you will not see the sight. It somehow looks past it.
Do you have a fire proof suit? If so you better put it on. You are going to catch hell on this website for using that scope. |

If your scope is 4x or greater you will not see the FSB as it is now in a different focal plane.

It has to do with diffraction of light, I believe.

It's junk if you can afford to spend more on a real proven brand, but better than nothing if that is all you can afford to spend. Sooner or later you will get tired of re-zeroing it in and junk it, to pay now four times the price for a decent respectable "set it and forget it" high quality scope.

My experience (and the experience of just about everyone I know who bought an NCStar product is that are indeed junk. MAYBE suitable for a .22 or airsoft, but don't expect it to hold zero or hold up to fightin' rifle usage. Mine lost the reticle after 5, count 'em 5 rounds of .308. |

Yup I hear ya. Quality optics will cost. But consider what type of user you are - occasional range rat, or every weekend 3 gun competitor. Buy accordingly.
Still I would stay away from NcStar. The lowest end I would go for a non 22LR scope for any rifle would be a Burris Fullfield II or a Bushnell 3200 or something along those line. I think Nikon has something in that range of quality/price as well. May not be the best scopes for low light or very stong magnification, but for the causal shooter they'll work just fine and not break the bank. |

Poor soul.
You don't have to buy an expensive scope to get something decent...but buying NCStar is just dumb (I've bought 2...wasted $120). Next time, buy a name brand...even if it's cheap. For $100 I'd have bought this scope with either a PEPR or just higher quality rings. http://swfa.com/Bushnell-15-45x32-Banner-Dusk-Dawn-Shotgun-Scope-P226.aspx |
