Recently I brought a bunch of NcStar stuff in for evaluation/testing.
Pulled this all plastic unit out of the box and moaned- it just didn't tickle my fancy looking at it. It's single mounting ring also didn't thrill me.
Anyways- it is a very low priced Red Dot (somewhere around $20.00 USD retail I believe) so I'm not about to try it on a Magnum Springer, but I figured it might do okay on a Co2 gun- especially a pistol seeing as it only had one mount on it.
So, put it on a Crosman 2240 with an aluminum breech, 10.1" .177 barrel and shot away. Took me a bit to get it sighted in (more a fault of the gun's setup than the sight). Turns out it was pretty reasonable.
At around $20.00 and not being used on a Magnum springer, I'd actually give this thing a thumbs up. It's 10 times better than other cheap sights out there (like the Crosman 0290 red dot) and does hold it's position. I only tried it out to 10m/30ft, but for the purpose of close-range pistol shooting it did A-OK.
Next I need to test one of their 3-9x40 scopes... |

Got a photo of the red dot Eric?
I wonder if it is the same one I have... The red dot... I tossed the ring that came with it... I opted for a 30mm cantilever mount.
Actually... I think I used the stock ring on a flash light for a while...
The 3-9x40 that I have… I like it… holds its adjustments well… I got that 60 yard limb rat head shot using it… |

Hello Joe:
It appears to be the same unit- it is the only one they have (as far as I know) that has an all-plastic casing. |
