Anyone ever heard of The optics company NcStar? Found a 4x32 scope that looks very nice on cheaperthandirt.com (great site) that I'm thinking about buying for my AR.

Anyone ever heard of them or seen this scope?

Had one and it developed problems early on. Returned it to Midway and replaced it with a Sightmark scope. Very happy with the Sightmark.

Shouldn't buy anything from academy, Wal-Mart, ****s sporting goods, bass pro shops, etc. if that's a reason to not shop at CTD. Stopped selling bushmasters after the school shooting. Academy limited ammo.


If you can find a good deal on something you need, get it.

From what I've read in a few different places the reason CTD stopped online firearm sales after the school shooting had noting to do with politics or political correctness. It was merely a logistics problem for them. There servers were unable to handle the massive onslaught of firearms orders that were pouring in. Can I say that's the whole truth? No. Have just read little tidbits about it in various articles. Take it for what its worth to you. J

So. Buy once cry once? I only said great sight because I've ordered from them before and one was a wrong item that they replaced within 5 days.

1x6x24. Illuminated mil-dot reticle. Target turrets that have really positive adjustments. The best thing is that its a 1st focal plain scope. Designed to be used with both eyes open like a tactical scope. 1st focal plain is great because my son is lefty and im righty and it shoots same point of impact for both of us. With a regular scope we cannot shoot the same rifle. Point of impact varies about four inches for us. I kinda dig their moto too.lol

Need to do more research on what CTD did then cause the reasons im speaking of have nothing to do with them stopping the sale if firearms.

That's a nice looking piece. Do you hunt with your AR or just use it for defense and plinking?

Mostly plinking but if I had to use it for defense I'd want to be able to see my flip up sights as well in case the scope fails.

And when the next civil war happens, I'll be ready with a AR.

This is very true. Batteries always seem to die at the worst possible times. Had to remove my flip up sights to mount the scope in the pic. Saw a scope base that also had a rail on each side of the receiver at a 45 degree angle. Guy had a low powered scope on top a tac. light on the left rail and iron sights on the right rail. He could go from scope to iron sights just by tilting the gun a bit to the side. Was pretty nice. I think I want one.lol

Got the flip up sights already. I just don't wanna be close enough to use them lol. I like the ACOG style, sunhood, short and stout.

What kinda flip ups? And I love the Acog too but it's a smooth g at least...a Burris 332 I believe it is is a great alternative don't look as good but it's a good optic I got one and I got a eotech on my other ar...I have a aimpoint pro too that I was using I put it on my ar pistol sometimes it's a good option too just no magnification
