Hi everyone,

I have had several and I was not happy with them.

The glass appeared good and the adjustments were OK ."BUT" mine failed after a few shots.
and had to be replaced.

The warranty was good but the hassle of changing scopes after a few shots became a nuisance.

It appears that they are recoil sensitive but you should be OK with the 222.

I have tried many of the less expensive scopes and came to the conclusion that it is cheaper
to buy a mid priced scope in the long run.

Good luck with yours !

We should take all the NC Star Optics and give them to the enemy. then our troops will be safe.

all Jokes aside. Anytyhing made by NC Star is a Poor Exscuse for an Optic. The are many brands that don't cost an arm an a leg that will perform adequately.

Ncstar scopes inhibit target resolution.

You're better off with no sights at all; in the long run, just by peering down the barrel, the law of averages will get you more boolits on target.

The scope I was testing was the NcStar Mark III 10-40*50 AO. I thought I would post a few brief results up in case anyone was interested:

The good bits,

-The scope seemed to hold it's POI well(was used on a 788 in 222 remington, not sure how it would go on a big kicker) and the adjustments did what they said they would do.
-The rifle/scope combo did very well considering, hovering on about moa with factory ammunition
-The scope pretty much did what it said what it would on the box

The bad bit

-CLARITY!!!! The scope was foggy above 18x and unusable above 22x!!!!

Anyway, happy shooting
