NcSTAR Aluminum Red Dot Sight

This is a great reasonably priced red dot.

Pros
Very reasonably priced

Cons
The only reason I gave it a 4 is because it sliips on my springer air pistol. Although this should be able to be remedied with lock tite.

I received this item in exchange for a similar red dot Crosman sight that couldn't be mounted to a Picatinny rail. The NcStar sight is all aluminum construction, comes with a spare battery included and has been very easy to sight in on my .177 cal. Buckmark pistol. Two observations : for some reason the sight doesn't sit exactly level in the rail (I'm not sure if it's the sight or the rail that's off just a bit) but that hasn't hampered it's ability to shoot to the point of aim. The other issue is the red dot itself is on the large size and has the tendency to cover more of the intended target that I would ideally like, but given the modest price point, those two issues are minor. I wasn't going to put a $200.00 red dot on a $50.00 pellet pistol, so it functions well for the modest investment and allows me to "hit my mark" when I take care of proper pistolcraft.

Pros
Low cost, reasonably good quality, a good value for dollars spent.

Cons
Mine sits just a bit crooked on the Picatinny rail and I find the red dot to be a little larger than I like.

My second NC Star sight. A basic red dot sight, but much better built. No plastic here, made of sturdy aluminum. Have it mounted on my DW 715 revolver. Looks great and accurate.

Pros
I prefer a red dot, and it is highly visible. Also like the TV style design for the view. It has a side opening battery compartment , so you don't have to remove it to change batteries.

Cons
None, I have to offer.
