NEW!!! Sightmark Mini Shot-M Spec LQD Reflex Sight Initial Review!!!

[@mdh2006]

My first red dot was a first gen Sightmark reflex that was 29.99. The actual dot wasn't perfectly round but it worked, stayed zero and its still in my gun tool box.

[@Raymo2u]

The ADE Red dots are very well built also and they are sub $80, I would put the $80 ADE sights up against the Venom Vortex or Burris Check out these 3: Ade RD3-013 Bertrillium Ade RD3-015 Zantitium Ade RD3-011-1 Avenger

[@scottf.3808]

Nice reflex as looking forward to the range session....Good stuff....

[@davidbrown8118]

I bought my first ar15 yesterday. Thinking bout a red dot site. It's a dpms tactical. 16 inch barrel. Read reviews, but is it a good rifle? Feel like I got a good deal on it, 640 bucks.

[@nicholasfernandez7720]

a rifle is a rifle only you can say its your rifle and only you can say its a good one. as for a red dot sight... this could work, but if you are on a terrible budget id recommend a primary arms red dot (i dont know the exact name, but it looks like an aimpoint t1) if you had the money, id recommend an aimpoint t2, a trijicon ta 44 with the acss (advanced combat sighting system) reticle, or even an eotech sush as an exps3 mod o. another adition i add to my general purposes rifles is a light. cheapest light that id go with is a streamlight protac rail mounted light... though a surefire light would probably be your best bet. hope this helps! good luck with your ar

[@jamesmc8055]

Congratulations on your AR. For a red dot, Nicholas' recommendation is perfect. Primary Arms makes the best red dot for the price range. Primary Arms sometimes have random sales or package deals that throw in an upgraded mount for cheap, if you can catch it. For slightly less, there are optics from SIG and Vortex on Amazon or optics planet. If you're looking for an around a $100 red dot, there's an AT3/Bushnell Micro style for $80 with your choice of mount height. My neighbor bought the Bushnell and said it was decent so I picked up the AT3 model and put it on my AR pistol. It's held it's zero so far but it's an $80 red dot, so I don't expect it to survive a solid drop on concrete. It's probably better suited for Airsoft. In my personal opinion, if you only have one rifle, it'd be worth it to get an Aimpoint ACO for around $400 with mount, or the Trijicon MRO for slightly more.

[@kakabangboomstick]

You can get a run of the mill ar 15 like that for cheaper

[@markcoffman9522]

Congrats on the new family member. DPMS make a good mil-spec rifle, and the price paid is about right. Nice thing is all the time and money you can spend upgrading it the way you want it, not how some Youboober says you have to have it. It's a great time to own an AR cuz of all the options. Shoot safe, have fun!

[@adrianholland6787]

Interested in seeing how it performs. Looking forward to your review.

[@kennethbillman5701]

Awesome review thanks

[@904duval8]

what is the full name of the first sight mark sight?? is it like a pro or plus or something like that???

[@DocTango]

I have to actively try not to turn my nose up at anything I haven't used in the military or as a contractor, but I have a really hard time taking anything from Sightmark seriously...

[@drew6811]

This looks awesome.. is there any chance this is astigmatism friendly?

[@LiftHeavy1]

I always forget to shut my dots off. Cool that it has auto off after a while.

[@bfairfax8772]

I don't know about $300 for a Sightmark .

[@notrapmusichiphopmusicchan3353]

Bill Fairfax yea lol.im switching to holoson the eotech killer

[@hugostiglitz9864]

Got mine for $190 at Optics planet.

[@IvanRossS]

$170 on Amazon...

[@deanfirnatine7814]

Same quality as Holosun at about $300 but American Veteran owned and designed unlike Chinese owned and designed Holosun

[@deanfirnatine7814]

@@notrapmusichiphopmusicchan3353 At least with Sightmark the money goes to a Veteran owned American company not a Chinese owned company

[@hugostiglitz9864]

What makes this M-Spec? Do you think it's any tougher than a Burris Fastfire or Vortex Venom?

[@dylanwatkins1019]

Is it's footprint of its own design or is it the same pattern as the RMR or vortex venom?

[@calangel]

@Rodie ICT that's good to know. If I purchase it, can I place it on a slide cut for the venom/viper with the screws included with the Sightmark?

[@jdshillbilly1229]

Pretty cool, I'd like to see it on a pistol, is the morning pattern proprietary or same as others?

[@SELLMARKtechsupport]

same as previous Sightmark footprint but will also fit Docter mounts too.

[@New2Kendo]

I have been waiting to see these, the original spec was it would be rated up to 460 Roland

[@EdUSAF]

Great Review KB!

[@z50com]

Mini is an understatement! That unit is SMALL ~ I think it will pass the water test but I'm not sure about a drop test! ~ Maybe you should keep this one around a while before subjecting it to a brutal beating. . .

[@KSGunGuy01]

Very cool Kota!

[@Interp66]

Awesome review Buddy I may have to buy one now!

[@afroasto6029]

Would you recommend the Vortex Venom or this

[@hambycustomknives2825]

Sweet rig, brother!

[@RIPPER334]

At the price point, a Burris FastFire would be my first choice... Even if paying more for a QD mount and riser... ...and you can bet your ass sightmark sent you the best one ever made. I bet if you bought 5 off the shelf, you'd run into problems in at least one of them. It's the nature of sightmark.

[@5thBeatle]

Do you always leave your weapon on "FIRE"?

[@stever4651]

Looks good to me....Stay Safe....Steve from Illinois.

[@kevinroberts9580]

Who makes that scale you use? Where did you get it? It looks like a good one

[@nicholasfernandez7720]

it is a "Taylor digital kitchen scale 8'x9.4'x2.8' " you can buy them on officedepot.com for about 17 bucks.

[@orionfixr7713]

It better hold up to all your tests and serve a cup of coffee afterwards for $300. We're getting into some high end territory there. For a few bucks more you can get some of the big names...........

[@richardmilam5049]

$300 is MSRP but i'm pretty sure Optics Planet has them for $200 shop.opticsplanet.com/sightmark-mini-shot-m-spec-red-dot-sight.html?_iv_code=XK-RD-MSMRDS-SM26043&gclid=CjwKCAiA24PVBRBvEiwAyBxf-T4HyRff2Z7PBS9mc9Cg7lYf8KRlelUrUVTEm9J2jc6XGe7nddA7IhoCE5IQAvD_BwE

[@orionfixr7713]

Richard Milam; Thanks for the heads up! Now that's more like it! And if OP wants $200, I'm sure it'll be even cheaper somewhere else.

[@thebryceisright4851]

He said 99 dollars. I clicked the link and it said 299. #BrokeCollegeKid

[@jamesmc8055]

I'm right there with you, but it'll be worth it in the end! #BrokeCollegeKid #Temporary

Interesting little item, needs a 10 ft tripod-drop 😂

Or the super slingshot test. My Walmart clearance Sightmark hasn't faired so well. About to test CS.

You going to drop this one a few times also

Could have been so great if they hadn't put on an auto shutoff

[@eltenda]

very nice!

I dig it.

[@kevinroberts9580]

I think I would like to use that on a shotgun for like turkey hunting. Pops Quest said it all!👍

[@johnch14v66]

it would be nice if it was a green dot...

[@truthseeker3676]

you should do a vid on walmart about them being agianst the 2nd amendment.

[@UncleDanBand64]

Well I guess the You Tube goons ain't got you yet. Uncle Dan out

[@JohnnyBallou]

Nice red dot! They're all good, but unless you can keep your IRON SIGHTS on it, you're not ready for the real world.... (respectfully! )

[@deplorabledave1048]

Probably crap. 30000 hour battery life on night vision setting which is invisible. And 300 hour battery life on normal setting. Stick to Holosun Optics and circuitry for Superior battery life.

Do my eyes deceive me or is that an American Flag on the left side?
