NcSTAR Tactical Red Dot Sight (Cantilever Mount)
[W07C10][10327 / DTB4 + MDC30 / DTB4-A]New to airsoft? Here are some safety tips for airsoft guns that we recommend following.
The NC Star Tactical Red Dot w/ Cantilever Mount is a great optic that combines the advantage of a low profile, lightweight optic with the ease of use of a cantilever mount, and the improved target acquisition speed of an illuminated reticle. It features 4 different reticle choices and 11 different brightness settings ensuring that it fits for just about any situation. The cantilever mount provides yet another advantage by raising the optic slightly above the top rail of the gun, making it much more easily visible for players using full facemasks. The adjustable height and windage turrets allow the user to ensure that their shots are dead-on, and the see-through lens covers protect the glass lenses from being shot out.

This really is a great sight, especially for its price. You get a well made red dot with loads of different options for use while out on the field. You get four different reticle (Small dot, crosshairs, dot + crosshairs, and a small dot centered within a circle quartered by the crosshairs). You also get two different mounting options: the standard pair of scope rings, and a cantilever mount which aids those who wear face masks or need a taller mount to still use their iron sights. The brightness setting work well, and it is a beast when it comes to battery efficiency, The unit runs like a standard CO32 or whatever watch battery which are easy to get.
Pros:
-Relatively cheap
-Comes with scope rings and cantilever mount
-Four different reticle options
-11 brightness settings
Cons:
-Glare in front lens
-People can see the dot on higher settings
-The springs that hold the flip up clear lens covers blow and break really quickly, resulting in floppy lens covers(spin them upside down when this happens so they can't fold over the lens)
Pretty solid sight. The reticles are clear and sharp. I dont have any problems with the sight itself, but the mount it came with didn't fit right, I had to remove the front lens cover to get it to mount properly.
Pros:
Clear sight
Four reticles (Plus, Dot, Circle with dot, and Cross with circle and dot)
Eleven brightness settings
Cons:
Mount it came with didn't entirely fit (Not sure if doing it wrong or what)
*** FOLLOW UP REVIEW***
I have had this sight for a little over six months now. It still functions well, is sturdy, and I would buy it again.
Pros:
Same four reticles
Same 11 brightness settings
I figured out how to secure the mount, just put the cap on and itll stay anyway.
Cons:
Larger reticles (circle and dot/bullseye; circle cross) blur a bit on the higher settings
Eats batteries like theyre free, so BUY EXTRAS.
Although the lens covers are clear, there is a HUUUGE fishbowl effect when using them. The rear one, if folded down, will blur both the picture and the reticle. The front one keeps the reticle clear, but the target fishbowled.
