This red dot is comparable to tasco, It is functional but lacks the quality of high end red dot sights. NC star is a bargain brand, now that might not always mean low quality but using it in the field, it has broken on me, the water resistant seal broke and now i have fog issues. this is not mil spec.

It requires CONSTANT cleaning and configuring. one single scratch and its useless. also it only works when viewing at the right angle and distance from the sight, and does not fit directly on some gun mounts. it is very cool and stylish looking but I end up just leaving it behind because its kinda useless. all that for 100$ and I have seen it cheaper in other online stores/auctions.

Excellent sight but a frail lens

This sight is just awesome and it is by far supperior to any other i've bought before, the target acquisition time is blazing fast, the crosshair is very bright and can be easily seen even in day light. The reflex lens create a cylinder that help you even more to find the crosshair efficiently. But even if this sight work flawlessly, you have a big problem if you play paintball. The lens is a bit frail and the first paintball hitting my sight lens in a direct hit just cracked it horizontally from one side to the other right in the middle of the lens. I fear the next hit will just shatter it :(
Opsgear customer service told me : "Unfortunately we do not carry any replacement lenses and I don't know any place to suggest that would have one, your best option will be to try to replace the lens on your own."
So, keep in mind that if like me you have a cracked lens at some point you will have to deal with it on your own. I'm about to contact NcStar directly to see if they can help me.
fully functional but not top of the line.
