4.0 out of 5 stars Better than expected Optics system. Proper ajustments are nessesary, but easy., June 25, 2010

This review is from: Mark III Tactical P4 Sniper 3-9X42/Scope Adaptor Mount/Red Dot Combo Package (Sports)

I have to admit I was more than a bit skeptical about the NcStar ultimate sighting system. Espcailly after reading some other on line reviews. Reviews of the product tend to be polar opposites. Either folks like it or hate it...not much in between. So, before ordering I called NcStar directly to see how difficult it is to get a person on the phone...I'm happy to report that my call was promptly answered by a human and I was connected to a Tech Support Rep who was extremely knowledgeable and assured me that if anything wasn't up to my standards they would repair, replace or refund my money, no questions asked. So I purchased the system knowing full well that it's NOT an ACOG. But at 1/10th the price I think it's a pretty good optics package. First and foremost - the scope works as advertised. The Mark III optics quality is really quite good. The mil dot recital is sharp and crisp. Overall the Mark III is easily on par with some much more expensive scopes. My favorite feature is the quick release system. It works really well (once properly adjusted - more on that later). After mounting on my flat top Stag Model 8, I sighted the scope at 100 yards. After getting a good zero, I was shooting one and ¾ inch groups. I dismounted the scope repositioned and it held its' zero just fine. My only "very small" complaint is, to adjust elevation; you have to unscrew the cap to access the internal adjustment, since turning the knob only actuates the bullet drop compensator. Not a big deal. Now it's zeroed, I don't expect I'll take the cap off again. The internal illumination also works as advertised. It's nice but really unnecessary. The scope pulls in plenty of light without turning on the illumination. I don't see using the feature much if any. Eye relief is advertised to be 3 inches. I found that 2 inches was what I was getting. Not great but still adequate. I experimented moving the scope back and forth on the rail until I found a comfortable "sweet spot" and shooting position. As for the second half of the system, The red dot, which mounts to the scope, I'd rate it fair to good and that's why I give the "system" 4 stars instead of 5. I sighted it in for 25 yards and it works well, but the dot is not as crisp as I'd like and the optics opening is a bit small...Even so, it is still quite functional for getting the rifle quickly pointed at a silhouette sized target.

Since the Mark III has been bashed for hardware not being secure in other reviews I was interested to see if I had any similar issues. The answer is YES. Some of the mounting screws needed to be tightened. Not a big deal at all. A couple of Allen wrenches and some purple loctite and all the hardware is perfectly secure and won't back off. In conjunction with tightening everything down correctly, I also properly adjusted the quick release system for my rail and the weaver rings for the red dot. I suppose the factory could do a better job with the hardware, but I would spend the time tweaking to match my system anyway. With 5 minutes of my time, the mounting hardware and quick release system worked as advertised.

Overall I'd give the scope 5 stars and the red dot 3 ½. Would I drop it from the turret of a MRAP and expect it come out unscathed?...No probably not. But for $180 bucks I really am impressed and think the NcStar Ultimate Sighting System is an extremely good value.

5.0 out of 5 stars Can't be beat for the price., January 19, 2011

This review is from: Mark III Tactical P4 Sniper 3-9X42/Scope Adaptor Mount/Red Dot Combo Package (Sports)

I'm not much for writing reviews, but after reading so many mixed reviews on NcStar products, I felt the need to share my views. The MK III P4 Scope and Red Dot package is the first scope I have purchased from NcStar. Having already purchased some flashlights and other products from NcStar and being very satisfied, I decided to give it a shot. I've been shopping with Amazon for years, and had full faith that if this product did not satisfy me, they would work to make it right. Luckily, I didn't have to rely on that, as this product is exactly what I was hoping for. I couldn't be more pleased with my purchase. I'm sick of reading bad reviews for products that have no consideration for cost. I rate products based on the quality of the item vs. the price. Keep in mind that this is NOT a $1000 ACOG, and the consumer would be foolish to expect that. For the price, this piece can not be beat.
The scope arrived a day early, in perfect packaging. It came with 2 spare batteries and an allen key for adjusting. The scope comes with strapped lens covers, and the red dot sight has a plastic cap which covers the entire assembly. The scope has some weight to it, much more solid than I had expected. It is all metal construction, and the quick release mount appears to be machined very tightly, which had led to a solid, secure fit on the rail. I had read some other reviews about the reticles being off-axis. This is not the case with my scope. The crosshairs are aligned perfectly. The switch for the illuminated reticle clicks positively and has a good solid feel to it. Both the red and green lights work properly on all three brightness settings. Optics appear to be of good quality at any range. The focus adjustment is smooth and tight, and the clarity of the image is better than I expected. Both the elevation and windage adjustments have a good solid click. This scope was out of the box, mounted and bore sighted within 10 minutes.
The Red Dot sight came mounted on the scope. The optics are sharp, the dot is crisp. The red dot sight was less impressive than the scope, but still right for the price. The switch for the sight is a very small sliding toggle. While the switch has a good, positve contact feel, the lever seems undersized for the amount of protrusion. In other words, it feels too thin and sticks out to far. While this makes it easy to switch on and off, it feels like a heavy thumb or minor bump on the switch would break it off. There was one other problem with the red dot out of the box, which was easily taken care of. The elevation of the dot was so far off it could not be adjusted enough. I mean way off- the dot was about 10 feet off bore sight at 25 yards. This was fixed simply by removing the sight and reseating the ring. After putting about 10 rounds down range and adjusting, I was driving tacks at 50 yards. After about 200 rounds, the scope is still holding dead center, and all of the illumination features are still working perfectly. All in all, I could not be happier with this purchase. I would buy another in a heartbeat, and would reccommend it to any shooter looking for an economical aiming solution. On a side note, for this price, you cant go wrong. As I said earlier, I have full faith that Amazon would make right any problem you might have with your purchase. I would be happy to answer any questions about this product that I can in the comments section.

5.0 out of 5 stars get one !, January 9, 2011

This review is from: Mark III Tactical P4 Sniper 3-9X42/Scope Adaptor Mount/Red Dot Combo Package (Sports)

Got this for my Rock River Arms M4 and glad I did! This is a very sweet scope! I love it. Mounted it on a short riser and it looks great on the weapon and function is fantastic. Quite heavy for what I expected. Bore laser sighted it first then used a Marine sighting target and zeroed it in with about 10 rounds. Love the sniper reticle! I have had it a few months with no problems and I shoot a lot. I shoot mostly 62gr 5.56 and the drop compensator works just fine with them at 200 yds. NC Star seems to make some very fine accessories these days.
The dealer shipped it very fast and it was very well packed.
