My two NC Star ventures both turned out to be complete POSs. I would have been ashamed to sell them to anyone and threw them in the trash. One was a red dot, and the other was a conventional scope. This was several years ago, but once burned . . .
lol!!
Well a riser I got was pretty good but it is hard to screw up a piece of metal unless the metal itself is crap. I bought one of their scopes with a red/ green dot and it seemed ok shooting it the first time but the damn lockdown screws will for sure need some locktite on them before I go to the range again.
I've got a NCStarr P4 Sniper Scope with the lighted red & green reticles on my M&P rifle. The green side went out on it after I had put several hundred rounds through the rifle. I phoned the company... no problem or hassle. Sent it to them & they sent me a brand new one within 4 days... they paid the shipping. No refurbished scope.. a new one in the box with all the new paperwork. It has a lifetime warranty. It has been a very dependable and accurate scope for me. Good focus & magnification. No problem putting all my rounds in the bullseye at 100 meters and the BDC was accurate out to 300 meters which was only as far as I tested it. I'd consider it a good scope without the lighted reticle.
I've got one of Walmart's $70 Centerpoint scopes on my M&P 15-22. Very happy with it too.

I you can get a NC P4 and a truck load of other scopes from Walmart on-line.. I was surprised at how many different brands of scopes are available from Walmart on-line.

I spent all of $85 on an NC Star P4 sniper scope. I wasn't expecting much, but it has exceeded my expectations. I don't bother with the lighted reticles, but the scope isn't bad. It holds it's settings. I've removed it a couple of times and when I remount it it's always been DNA. I've never pointed my AR at anything further than 400 yards - I can hit what I'm aiming at with it, which is all I ask. It's not best piece of glass I've ever looked through, but that little scope was not a bad investment.
Yes they will get the job done. They are just not as robust as an EOTech or an ACOG. Then again, there is a slight increase in $$$ for those. It all depends on what you want. I bought two gun cases from NC Star that I love and are holding up well. I don't plan on going out on night ops anytime soon. I only become an operator when I'm in a smoker/grill campaign.
Well I would rather buy the us made stuff and support that us worker but when larue and others are selling something for 5 to 10 times more it is real hard.
I had an ncstar that looked like an acog with 4x magnification and a reddot with blue reticule. It was an ok piece for the price.
Some things are cheap - some are better described as bang for the buck.
I've had an NC Star Red Dot on top of my S&W 686+ for the past 6 years. It has held zero all that time without issue. Not the brightest optic on the planet but it is clear as a bell and good enough for daytime work. The thing is worth every penny of the $60 or so I paid for it.
Maybe I got lucky and drew the good one out of the box. Somehow though I don't think so.
