Ultra cheap scopes

Recommended Posts

Has anyone used these 15 dollar NCSTAR scopes? I need something that is useful to about 15-20 yards worst case, most likely about 25 feet. This is for use with on a .22. It's not for me.

I realize it's junk...but will hold any kind of zero from one day to the next? Someone I know has a groundhog problem in garden center and asked me to see about a cheap scope. Trying to keep it under $50.

 

Alternatively, if anyone bought one of these junkers and replaced it with a real optic and wants to pawn off the marginal junk, I'm entertaining offers.

Interesting that Tasco would stipulate the above. The difference between quality RF and CF scopes is usually where the parallax is set. CF scopes with non-adjustable parallax are usually set at 50 to 100 yards, while RF scopes are set at 25 yards.

 

I've always operated by two principles - You get what you pay for; and: Buy quality and only cry once.

The last time this particular .22 rifle was shot was probably during Carter's term. After this particular hog menace is eliminated, it probably wont get fired again. These particular animals have evaded live traps, poisons, snares, filling the holes with water, dirt and gravel. No explosives yet...that comes after the .22.

 

I considered mounting one of my good scopes on this temporarily but figured if I could get away with something cheap that can last a sighting in and probably 2-3 shots after that, it's good enough.

 

I'm going to run out to Dick's down here in Cherry Hill and see if anything cheap is on the shelf.

    • We never let then inside.  Last re-evaluation was 6-7 years ago, wife politely told him that he was welcome to look around the property and he could look in the windows. He saw two white resin chairs in the basement and told her that this constituted a finished basement. And everything in the basement is bare concrete/ cinder block, and mechanical systems. Nothing finished about it. Ultimately he relented and I'm sure that was a ploy to coerce us to allow him in
    • I use an Alien Gear cloak tuck (IWB) with my Shield.  Neoprene back - in the summer it does feel warm but doesn't rub or chafe.   https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-iwb-holster.html Could also go with the shapeshift as it has multiple options - OWB/IWB, Appendix... https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-shapeshift-modular-holster-system.html
    • The  12-1 compression ratio L88 is long gone. This is GM's updated version. it might be  pump gas 10-1 engine The L88 was a aluminum head  cast iron block engine with a nasty solid lifter cam. the  ZL1 was a all aluminum  12 or 13-1 compression ratio engine with the best forged internal parts at the time and had a even nastier solid lifter cam 
    • I like my regular carry holster.  OWB leather with belt slots.  I've been carrying for over a year and it was comfortable and I hardly even noticed it.  I carry (usually) a Ruger LCP .380 - light, convenient, tiny. But...today I ended up taking it off an leaving it home after a few hours. I cut down a big maple tree a few days ago and I spent 3/4 of today loading and unloading firewood into the back of my truck and a trailer.  It was a warm day, I was dirty, tired, sweaty, and my holster was rubbing against my side.  The leather and exposed metal snap was no longer comfortable. I'm thinking about adding a layer of something to that part of the holster to soften the contact.  Anything insulating will make it worse.  I don't want a sweaty, hotter holster against my skin.  I'm imagining something thin, breathable, that won't absorb sweat, and softer than leather, metal snaps, and rivets.   But I have no idea what would work. I'm hoping somebody else has already figured this out and I can just do what they did. Any suggestions appreciated.
    • Check the primers on the ammo you didn't shoot yet. Are they fully seated? If the primer is not just below flush with the back of the case, the first hit can seat it better then the second hit ignites it.
