Mark III (NCStar) Scopes

mississippi · Jan 10, 2010

New to the forum. Lot of good information here.

I've been looking at the MP 15-22. I'm almost convinced.

I was just wondering if anyone has any experience with the cheap Mark III tactical scopes available at the Valhalla armory web site. I hope the scope would hold up to .22lr for a couple of years. I can't find much information besides people blowing it off as junk in AR forums. I believe they are made by NCStar. I'm trying to keep the tacticool factor, but without spending much. 50yds would be all I would want/expect out of it. Purely plinking.

Any input or thoughts appreciated.

I have 2 NC Star scopes one on my 15-22 and one on my ar15T and don't have any complaints on either of them.

I did have an issue with one and this is why I have no complaint... one of the scopes I traded for and found I could not get it on paper at 25 yds, sent it back to NCStar and they replaced the scope for free based on their lifetime warranty so I have no complaints...

They seem to hold up well and hold zero well under the conditions I have used them...

I have a NCStar on my SKS. It works fine for plinking.

Do we have a pic of that scope?

It is a great scope for plinking. I don't care for the lighted reticle, but to each their own. It has very clear optics and is dead simple to use.
The crosshairs don't co-witness to the iron sights tho, so I made a spacer to fix that. If I'm going to make one, I might as well make a bunch. Mine has the Weaver/Picatinny base with the quick release.

BELT_FED · Jan 12, 2010

Mine should be here end of the month they said and ill post pics of it on the gun

Thanks for the replies.
Put a deposit on a 15-22 until my bg clears. I will pick it up Friday.
As long as they hold zero, it's good enough for me. Still deciding what scope I want. Didn't know about the warranty on them, very nice for a cheap scope.
Can't wait to put some rounds through it this weekend.

I got the same exact one one the way. I was going to buy the original ncstar mark III 3-9x42 with out the laser but i found one with the laser for the same exact price. Holding zero pretty good?

Slackpacker · Jan 31, 2010

I've been looking for a scope and a laser. This one looks like it will kill two birds with one stone. I shoot in the cold a lot. Does it fog up?

BELT_FED · Jan 31, 2010

i havent hadd any prob. other than when the battery gets weak you cant use the laser and lit reticle together but the battery holds up pretty good.. i gave $152... shipped to my door

Been looking at the Sniper Comp. What do ya think about extending the Sniper Comp about 9 inches longer..... I mean 9 inches longer inside the rail. There's a lot of big holes in that rail to see right thru. Guess you'd need to work up a new end cap...

Vitamin3..... stop shaking that silver spray can

I got mine pretty cheap $113.00 shipped. I will be posting up pics of my 15-22 once I get it back from S&W, hopefully this week. The scope looks awesome on your gun.

BELT_FED · Jan 31, 2010

If you don't mind me asking, where did you order it? Best I've seen is $164 with a free spotting scope. NcSTAR Tactical and Red Dot Scopes and Accessories for AR-15, M16 and all Rifles and Pistols

I got mine off of ebay, all of the rubberized ncstar 3-9x42's w/ laser sight where like $164.00 buy it now and then i found one for auction for $99.00 so I bid on it and won it for $113.00. I've been looking and waiting to find one for pretty cheap and I finally did, took me about 2-3 weeks to find one but I got it.

I had a 2-7 NcStar the reticle was canted “out of level” and cannot be adjusted since there are no scope rings. I returned it for a Vortex 2-7.

Belt-Fed it’s hard to tell but in the 3rd picture yours looks the same. Might just be the picture.
