Sightmark?

[awilson82]

Anyone had experience with Sightmark products?

Saw the Ultra Shot Pro Spec on a blog the other day and it looks interesting. Its this one Amazon.com: Sightmark Ultra Shot Pro Spec Sight NV QD: Sports & Outdoors.

While it wouldnt compare to say a EOtech or an Aimpoint is it a decent sight for the $?

I have one just about like that on my AR but mine is the top of the line one with the lazer and all that stuff. While i know it doesnt compare with the aimpoint or EOtech....it is a very good red dot and everyone who has picked it up loves it and wants to ditch their red dot and get one like mine. I just couldnt see spending the money for one of the high dollar ones right now. I would buy it again no questions asked. Now i also have their flip over magnifier and while i do like the optic its self, the flip over mount leaves something to be desired. But i will probly just pick up a different mount down the road and be good to go. If you have any more questions feel free to ask me via PM or on here and i will be happy to help.

Yeah Id looked at the one with the laser but read it loses zero and I just dont see the need for the laser and the extra $30 bucks.

Hows battery life on it? Also I read it may lose zero when you switch between reticles?

Eventually Ill buy an Aimpoint PRO or EOtech XPS2-2 but Im just looking for something till then.

I haven't had a problem with it loosing zero. When i was ordering mine i decided to go with the lazer for the simple fact that $30 for a separate lazer isn't bad. I haven't had to replace my batteries yet but i have only had it for about 2 months or so.

I've had a couple, and they were junk. I would suggest looking at Primary Arms, Vortex, Lucid, and a couple others if you can't swing the price of an Eotech / Aimpoint.

I have the red dot that has 4 patterns on it on a 10/22 and think it was worth every penny of the $33ish I paid with a 20% off coupon at Dunhams.

But like tradertator said the above are better with larger price tags.
Fun gun sure, hd gun no way.
