NC Star has such a bad reputation that I don't know of anyone that would put out good money to even try one out. If they ever built a good scope they would be smart to change the name before they put it on the market.
There are some decent inexpensive scopes out there, K-4 and K-6 Weavers can be found for $110. new Bushnel Banners and Trophies
Sightron S-1's and Nikon Prostaffs, Mueller APV's and Swift Preimiers work also.
