Over the years NcStar have evolved into a supplier of good, functional, value for money products. The Range of scopes is a case in point. A few years ago they were basically bringing out cheaper versions of what was already available from other innovative manufacturers. However, lately they have been doing a lot of innovation of their own.


The Dual Urban Optic scope is an example of this innovation. It gives the shooter a Magnifying scope and Reflex scope combined in one user friendly and attractive compact package. It saves on having to mount two optical systems on two separate mounts. This may not seem like a big deal if you have plenty of rail space but I think it can be very useful on a platform that has very limited rail space. The various Mini 14 mounts that I have seen come to mind as an example.

The Scope has been designed in such a way that the magnifying scope and reflex scope maintain the same height over bore when rotating the scope to use either optic. This means that switching between the two requires no adjustment in the height of your head. Just rotate the rifle to bring the required optic in line with your eye. On other systems it is sometimes necessary to add extra risers to one or both optics to achieve this level of usability.

The Magnifying optic is a 4X32 scope. Suitable for any distance between about 20 meters to 200 meters. The reticle is a Bulls eye type and is etched onto the glass. It is also illuminated in blue making this scope a winner in low light conditions. The reticle brightness is push button controlled

The reflex optic features a brightness adjustable green dot controlled via another push button interface.

In summary, I think this scope is a very innovative user friendly system that will allow the shooter to have the right optic on target from 1 to 200 meters in any light conditions and with the least amount of issues with regards to mounting of optics. Just fit the scope to a single rail, adjust both optics to the zero distance you require and then go shooting.
