I had one. It was one of those 8-24x50 IR mil dot with sunshade. looked really cool sitting on the gun. Then I shot some with it. Got real milky when you cranked the power past 12x and it would not hold zero on the .308 it was mounted on. Best thing is to buy the best you can afford. Lot of nikon, mueller, bushnell etc less than 150$ Bushnell makes a lot of scope for the money. Mueller makes a good ones too. Myself I would never buy a Barska or NC Star ever again.

They hjave a very poor reputation here in NZ. I wouldn't put one on any of my rifles. I would save a bit more and get something that will give better service. The Nikons are very good glass and excellent value.

I tried one of those NcStar "things"... Never again. The ocular lens came loose and rattles around quite a lot if I try and have the focus set anywhere but "tightened up". Fortunately, it's not too bad in that position. Needless to say the seal - if there ever was one to start with - is now toast.
I'll second the Nikon scopes. The Monarch line is excellent and very reasonably priced.
spend your money on something else.
It ain't rocket science, it's boolit science.
As has been said... unless it's on a 22lr, save up and get something else...
I learned this lesson personally, despite buying one of there "Premium" models (Put onto an ar-15...)... needless to say, it was a $180 tuition fee....
The one I got designed for the SKS self destructed on my SKS on the fourth shot.
Since then I've had the opportunitiuty to save inquiring folks $10, 000 by disparaging that red china JUNK ! BvT

I`ve tried some of their 2X7 pistol scopes thinking they would be OK for low recoil calibers. NOT SO. Save your money. Spend more for higher quality scopes. You won`t be sorrry...dale
Ncstar - no
Burris - doing good but only tried up to 223
Bushnell - doing good (up to 300 win mag)
BSA - Cat's Eye - doing good up to 308 (on a FAL)
Famous Maker (JGsales.com) - no (worked on 223 but died when moved up)
Barska so far on 223 and 243 working ok
Leupold - doing good (.375 Weatherby which killed everyone else off)
Lyman All American (older model) - dim compared to todays but it was a good scope in it's time
Tasco (older model) -been back to factory once for repair - good glass just not strong build
Hi GN,
I just got one of these,yea it's a cheap scope but I want to shoot a couple of mny off brand rifles and leave my Zeiss where its at so got one of these. The good news is Vortex backs there Chi-Com stuff pretty well. If you have a problem they take care of it. This scope is a discontinued item and at $99 is half price! http://swfa.com/Vortex-6-24x50-Cross...pe-P43585.aspx
i wouldnt waste 5 bucks on one
Hi Lloyd,
Had your coffee yet? Seeing how this is America,I guess that's your option! Thought I'd try one. That's my option!
Hi GN,
Here's a link with the man that runs Vortex http://www.snipershide.com/forum/ubb...1500748&page=1
I'm with Loyd. Been there done that got t shirt and hat.

Gunnerd,
Just a suggestion, but you might take a look at Millet Scopes. I have one on my .30-06 and it's great, saw one used on a BMG .50 and it held zero like it was supposed to.. Just my 2 cents...

I got that same model scope last year and am pretty happy with it. I haven't had it on anything that has a great deal of recoil, just a 22 Hornet and currently it's on my Remington 37. The settings have been repeatable and I haven't had any problems losing zero with it. I just wish it was a fine crosshair instead of a dot.Originally Posted by seagiant
The problem with most of these less than OK scopes is that the names and importers change frequently, while the designs in and out continue without much substantive change and they ultimately get to bumping the lower price ranges of truly good scopes and warranties. How about post -American Weavers, pre-Leupold Redfields after the Redfield's foreign adventures?
When you buy a scope it ought to work well for a long time. I can say that of a 4X Leupold thats stood up to a couple thousand shots. A bit pricey then but still better than a series of bargain junkers.
Nothing wrong with an under $200 Redfield ,made by Leupold, with a lifetime warranty

I have two NcStar 6X42s mil dots. So far no issues, not great but adequite. Have used on 30-06 with Greek HXP, didn't break. They were very inexpensive. Probably being fixed power helps. I prefer my Loopy or Bushnell Elites but can't put one on everything. My next scope will be a Redfield 2x7, for hunting.
If you take value for money, then what?
A brand new LADA wont cost the same as a Rolls Royce, but it will take you from A to B just the same. It might break down sooner and the quality is in the $hit$, but hey, then use some of the money saved to buy another!
If you stirve for quality then why ask the question in the first place?
Used the NcStar today on a 30-06. Didn't break, fairly stout loads, but it is a poor scope as far as clarity goes. Like the man said, you get what you pay for. Who else makes a fixed 6X mildot? I like the concept.
