| who has one of these little scopes on there AR-15? how do you like it??? has it held up good? does it hold it zero like it is supposed to? |

One of the better El Cheapo scopes out there. I don't have one mounted on an AR but I do have one strapped to a Colt Python and it's held up very well to the pounding. The lighted rectical works great, and all in all I am pleased with the scope. I would NOT use it on a tactical weapon, but for a plinker, (even a .357 caliber) they are OK. |

jwise, Pic should say what company is. All I did was use some toothpicks and some craft paint that my mom had laying around that she got from wally*world. I basically filled the letters in and wiped the excess away with my finger. Nothing fancy. After about 2 coats to fill up some light (or dark in this case) spots, I taped everything off and went at it with a couple coats of polyurethane to seal the paint in there. If you concentrate really hard, it looks like SH*T, but I have only had the rifle that close to my face once or twice ...........so it looks greatActually from 2 feet away it looks damn good and I'm pleased with my 30 minutes worth of work. ![]() WIZZO |

I got a used 4X30 with illuminated recticle off the EE for $20.00 It works just fine for plinking. If I had $500 to $1K to drop on something serious, I would have. Since I don't the NcStar will have to do for now. I don't think I would trust my life with it, but I don't think they are as bad as some of the people say they are on the Optics Discussion Forum.

That's the one I have on my M4gery above. It's got red and green lights. Coincidentally, the red settings all seem to be too bright for use during low light, and the green seem to be a little dim, except for the brightest green setting. It's ok on that setting. WIZZO BTW, I have never used IM either so I can't help you there |
