I purchased 2 of these sights for use on my rifles. I was impressed with the robustness of the sight once I received it. This is a very high-quality sight and is all metal. The reticule options are excellent, with a dot, ringed dot, crosshair, and ringed crosshair being selected via a rotating dial at the rear of the sight. There is a rotating ring in the center that powers the sight. The first detent is low power, and each subsequent detent increases brightness. I found for indoor use; the minimal brightness is all that was necessary. Slightly higher brightness is required for outdoor use. Zeroing the sight is a breeze; just use a zeroing target, put the dot right in the center, and fire several shots. Then check the target and see how far off your shots missed the bullseye. The sight has two adjustment screws for vertical and horizontal adjustment of the target point. Just turn the screws and repeat the process of firing on a target and checking. I got mine zeroed in after only 3 tries. Once zeroed, I tried firing my guns while looking through the sight through different parallax angles, and for all but the very extreme sight window where the dot was at the periphery of the reflector, I was able to get a bullseye on the target All in all, I am very impressed with this product

If you're looking for something to replace those ridiculous iron sights, I recommend getting this. It's much easier on my eyes, and I don't have to steady the gun as much as before to get a good view of where my bullet's going. It has two knobs, one changes brightness settings, and the other chooses the type of reticle you want. I tried it on highest brightness, and I could still see all the reticles clearly in the brightest noon daylight, glare, and all. Its a bit bulkier than I expected, but seeing that I have nothing to compare it against, and this is my first owning one of these, I shouldn't be complaining. However, I cannot recommend this to people with corrective lenses, that is, glasses. Without your eyeglasses, the reticles become blurred, depending on how bad your eyesight is. I have to keep my glasses on to keep the reticle clear and sharp. Again that might just be me. The way short sights me might not be a problem for far-sighted people, I'm guessing. Bottom Line, wear your glasses if you want a good reticle. There is a very faint red halo around 3 out of 4 reticles. (And no I'm not dumb, I know there is a circle+dot reticle) That's if you're in a semi-dark room. Am I guessing this is the light bouncing off of the sides of the projector 'walls'? I don't know to see it for yourself. The itsy bitsy dot (2nd setting) does not have this halo problem. It has a bluish orange tint to the glass, depending on what angle you're looking from. Also, the farther away your head is, the bigger the reticle becomes. The farther your head is from the sight, the harder it is to keep the reticle in your eyesight while moving around. This should be obvious.

I ordered (2) of these ncstar red dot sights at the same time, you could not beat the price anywhere on the net. They arrived lightning-fast with just normal shipping! Both items were packaged very well and came with everything that was indicated on Amazon. The only reason I did not give it 5 stars is that I have just mounted them and have not had a chance to test them out yet. I have heard that a lot of people have had problems zeroing with these sights, but I can't see where it would be that difficult. The sight is very sturdy and looks like it is put together very well. The reticles are clear and bright, and there are no blemishes on the glass. Overall, a very good purchase, in my opinion, I would recommend it to other buyers, and I will be buying from NcSTAR again!

I've ordered BSA and all of the other cheap-'os. This has held up well on my .22's, and also on my rifle's. I have ordered a total of 3 of these. The second one I ordered was a bit loose, and the dot came in-and-out, but much better than the others. Better than the over-priced Chinese copies. All have held accuracy over 500 shots. My first one is over six years old and is the most accurate I have had. I purchased a 199.00 model from Osprey, made in Japan, and these are just as good, if not better. I would not recommend putting this on a pistol, other than a .22

I used this on an AR15 and SKS with the NcStar Mark III scope. I choose one reticle and stuck with it. The sighting was done with a laser bore sighter. Compared to the Burris Fastfire ($199), the image is not as good. Switching reticles will also cause you to sight again. Overall for the price, this red dot performs at a bargain. It does hold target, and I don't see any drift. I sighted at 50 yds then 100 yds, and it will hit consistently. If I could give it 3 1/2 stars, I would. If you want further research, check youtube, and there are many vids. If you demand 5-star quality, then get the Burris Fastfire...otherwise, this is a bargain...just the optics and image are not on pare.

I bought the silver color to match my SS .22cal Ruger MKIII pistol, and when I opened the box, I instantly noticed the quality of the sight was far better than others of the same price. This is metal sight, not plastic, and it comes in a padded box with a lens cloth, Allen wrench, mini screwdriver, instructions, warranty info, & two batteries (one insight & one spare). Sight looks very lovely installed on my pistol, and it works great. I will recommend these sights for .22 caliber pistols/rifles and paintball, airsoft/BB's or pellets pistols or rifles. People keep talking and complaining over and over about the same subject so,....everybody needs to understand once for all, that this site is perfect (like I said before) to use in firearms like airsoft and .22 cal pistols and rifles but NOT for .357,.380, 9mm, .40, .45, shotguns or higher caliber because their "heavy recoil" will throw the red dot out of alignment every time. My only complaint about hard to see recticle on a bright sun but doesn't matter to me because I usually shot indoors or in shaded areas. Other people complain about NO auto shut off and... no BIGGER field of view and bla..bla..bla.. on this sight but they don't understand that for the price you're paying, you CAN'T have it all!!.. If you want the good stuff that other scopes/sight might have you need to put out more $$$$$$$. The NcStar red dot sight works great on my .22cal pistol, never had any problems with it, and it keeps alignment steady after shooting 150 rounds or more. This is a magnificent sight, and you get your money worth for the product!
