The NcStar 1x40 red dot sight with integrated 3 MOA red laser combines dual aiming systems in a compact optic built for shooters who want versatility without bulk. Designed to mount on any Weaver or Picatinny rail, this 1x magnification sight pairs a wide-aperture 40mm objective lens with a fast-acquisition red dot reticle—ideal for close-quarters hunting, home defense, and tactical training where speed and situational awareness matter more than magnification. The addition of an adjustable red laser gives you a secondary aiming reference and works equally well in daylight or low-light conditions.
This is a working shooter's optic: no unnecessary complexity, just proven technology in a matte-finished aluminum body. The 1x1 magnification keeps both eyes open for maximum field of view, while the 40mm objective gathers enough light for reliable performance across varied lighting. The integrated red laser is fully adjustable for zero and uses Class IIIa specifications safe for your eyes. Two aiming tools in one package mean you can train backup aiming techniques or switch between systems depending on the shot.
Power comes from standard CR2032 lithium batteries (two included), and the quick-release Weaver mount lets you add or remove the sight in seconds without losing zero. Unlimited eye relief means you can position it anywhere on the rail that works for your shooting style. The matte finish resists glare and is built for hard use in the field or at the range.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this red dot sight fit my rifle's rail?
Yes, if your rifle has a standard Weaver or Picatinny rail. The quick-release mount is designed to attach to either. The unlimited eye relief means you can position it wherever on the rail works best for your shooting style and stock length.
What batteries does it use, and how long do they last?
The sight runs on CR2032 lithium batteries. Two are included with the optic, plus an extra battery and adjustment tools. Battery life varies based on brightness settings and usage, but 3V CR2032s are inexpensive and widely available.
Can I use the red dot and laser together, or do I choose one?
Both the red dot reticle and the integrated red laser are active systems. You can use them together or rely on whichever aiming reference suits your shot—great for training or backup aiming techniques.
Does this sight work in daylight?
Yes. The 40mm objective and LED red dot are designed for use in daylight and low-light conditions. The laser is also visible in both environments, though laser visibility can be affected by ambient light and angle.
