AR15 M4 CX4 SU16 Tactical Combo Set w/ NcStar MKIII 3-9x42 Rifle Scope + NcStar Red Dot Reflex Sight


Jack of all trades, master of none.
I received this as a Christmas gift, and have had a chance to use it on 2 range trips so far. My thought is that it is a jack of all trades, master of none deal. Bikini scope covers drive me bonkers, as they tend to get misplaced once off of the glass. Also, the hood for the reflex sight is easily lost once it loosens up a bit with a few removals. It would have been great to have a flip up system for the main scope, and amazingly good to have a flip up for the reflex. It would have helped with the sun fadeout issue noted later. At a minimum, some sort of lanyard for the reflex sight cover would be a good idea.

The 3-9 scope is quite sufficient considering the expected maximum effective range of 5.56mm at 300M. If the target is further than that, you are just hoping for a lucky hit on the 12" gong in my experience. The optics are sharp, and the illumination is bright and available in red or green. The zoom function knob is VERY tight on mine, and was made even more difficult...
dont waste your money
don't let the cool looking setup fool you. this scope is not worth 200+. I paid 135 on this site and will be returning it. scope itself id adequate, reflex is terrible. adjustment screw stripped out as soon as I tried to adjust it. you can probably make your own similar setup with 300-400. Like my friend said that I didn't listen to before I bought this said "buy cheap buy twice" I will be because this scope is not a quality product.
Scope
This scope has great features and the clarity is very good for the price. Scope was easy to mount and instructions were clear.

Voodoo Tactical 42" Deluxe Rifle Case


I like it, I love it.
Fits 2 rifles, 2 pistols, 6 rifle magagines, 8 pistol magazines.
You can attach stuff at various points.
Padded.
Voodoo Tactical makes very strong gear. Other's can be cheaper. Do you really want to save $20 when you're carrying $2,000 or more worth of gear?
The only way I'd make this better, and win the 5th star, is to put backpack straps on it. There is a carry strap, but 2 rifles, 2 pistols, and magazines add up in weight. The non-deluxe version has the backpack straps, but not the magazine pouches.
To sum it up, I'd buy it again. In fact, I just may in a few months.
very nice gun case
Top notch quality. Able to carry 60lbs of gear with no problem. After running a lighter through all loose ends, this bag kicks butt. Able to store 50round bullet boxes in large mag holders. Also able to put a hand gun 10" soft case in middle pouch, side pouch used for paper work and range gear. Holds two long guns no problem. Pouches measure 11" by 8" inside with 3-4' of width. Hate how the D rings are stitched on, they put them on in such a way that you cannot attach backpack straps if you wanted to. I have a pair and it doesnt work out. BTW, the condore emt ripaway pouch fits prefect on side molle, got one on there to hold more gear and two more patches but od color isnt an exact match but close enough not to notice unless youre sherlock holmesing it, the middle pouch hold 3 patches. This bags worth 60 bucks imo but retailers need a cut so pay the piper, you wont be disappointed.

STAY AWAY FROM OPTIC SALE! THEY LURE YOU IN WITH CHEAP PRICES AND IT TAKES THEM...
Awesome bag
This bag is great, seems to be extremely durable. Keeps both my AR's and 2 of my handguns with several mags for them and still plenty of room for other items... It is very easy to make the bag almost to heavy to carry around... Only draw back that I see is it only comes with one strap and with bag loaded down to max it looks like to much stress will be applied if you carry it with the strap.. Wish it had two so it could be carried like a backpack. Other than that , no problems.... Great bag

Viridian C5L-R Universal Sub-Compact Red Dot Laser Sight with Tactical Light, Black


small package
I like how it's programmable and that it's pretty light and small, but the mounts are plastic and bend/flex out. If you constantly take it on/off the laser won't hold it's zero. So everytime you put it on you'll have to re-adjust the laser. If it had a better, more solid mounting, it would be better and I would rate it higher. I use this on my XDs at night and take it off during the day when I carry it.
Very illminating
Lots of great functions and advanced settings for the laser and tactical light and works great. I was not concerned about day time operation iron sights are for that. But it does put out well enough, it can be easily seen on a bright day at closer range. I picked the red laser for several reasons. I read that it consumes less energy than the green and in my opinion a little more stealth with the red. It reminds me of red battle station lights used by the Navy.
Fit onto an FNX 40 was a little strange as the 1913 rail was slightly larger than the width of the rail sets provided by Viridian .The instructions did note this and simply said to have them loose while installing. So on it went and snugged the screws. I do not know if this will be an issue seemed to fit tightly with a slight inward bend on the rail sets. To remove it will need to be loosened not only from the cross bolt but at the rail set. Adjustment of the laser is very easy I used a laser bore sight and with the...
Great Unit for the Money
I was initially worried going with the red laser unit over a green laser unit. However once I received it, all worries were put aside. The red laser is plenty strong enough. I can see it in the daylight, it is bright, and it is big. Save yourself some money and don't worry about having the green laser. For over a hundred bucks less, its definitely worth the savings.

Packaging... excellent. I love the little gun barrel/slide tool kit the unit comes attached to in the box. It contains wrenches, adapters, battery, etc. The instructions were pretty easy to figure out and I had the unit mounted and ready to go in less than 10 minutes.

Operation... the ambidextrous finger buttons are easy to get to and I do not have the longest fingers. So far I have yet to have the unit activate in my pocket or under a pillow. There are several modes you can set the unit to on the push of the button. You set this by hitting both buttons at the same time to flip modes. Then...
