Sightmark Ultra Shot R-Spec Reflex Sight

Ok, just so you know, this is a reflex optic vs an Eotech which is a holographic sight. It is made in the same country that makes the IPhone and most of the computers. With any optic you really need to think about what you are going to use it for. This optic has zero magnification, it is not a "scope". It is designed for short to intermediate range use and for quick acquisition of a target (snap shooting). Range would be close up out to about 300 yards from a practical standpoint. I used it at a local 100 yard range and it put the rounds from my CZ Scorpion Carbine (9mm) in a circle of about 2 1/2"-3" on a sunny day. The optic is made in the same country as your IPhone, most computers and chips. The build quality is much higher than you would expect compared to what you are paying. The reticles are very clear when you use the optic and light levels properly. I called Eotech to ask about how to use a red dot reticle properly. They said that to use it properly, the reticle should be as low intensity as possible and still see it and that all red dot sights will "bloom" when the setting is too bright for the ambient light level. So, set the light level so you can see the reticle but do not have any "bloom" and it works great. Many people think something is wrong with the sight because they have a "bloom" but it is working properly...just turn down the light intensity. Another important factor to consider is parallax correction. This has a 10yd parallax correction distance meaning the dot will be accurately located on target from about 10yds and beyond. This is good for accuracy with some sights are parallax corrected from 25yd or 50yd. I have an Eotech and this is 90% as good for the average person's application (non-military) and more functional on a day to day basis. I bought the R-Spec because I wanted a quick release that folded in closer to the sight and would not get hung up on clothing etc. Also, I wanted a sight that shuts off in an hour or so and not 12hr and is a bit more water resistant. This sight is about 10% larger than the more basic version but still fits on the gun well...an Eotech 512 is much larger in length as a comparison. The controls are easy to use however unlike some of the very early Sightmark reflex sights, cycling through the light levels takes longer. Early models had a dial that you could go from low to high in a split second. This push button makes you go step by step and going from level 3 to level 10 just takes longer. It works fine but keep that in mind. The way you adjust the quick release lever to be tight to the gun is a bit lame. You get a wrench and it works but I would prefer a non-custom wrench to make adjustments. In fact, I would prefer a non-quick release version. If I want to use the sight on another gun, I'll get a standard allen wrench and just move it. The windage and elevation adjustments are easy to work but it takes an allen wrench which is ok once you make the adjustments. The sight stayed sighted in under rapid fire of about 40 rounds of 9mm. I believe it is rated at 338 Win. Mag. Using this for your standard 5.56 AR and 308 AR should not be a problem. A 12ga with slugs would be a very good test. On conclusion, I would say that this is a very good option for your AR or similar carbine to the CZ Scorpion which is very cool. I considered the Sig Romeo 4, Vortex and a couple others and ended up here due to best value for the things I would typically want in a red dot optic. The Sig Romeo 4 and EOTech and a few other do have some awesome features and will likely be an better option when considering lifetime warranty, longer battery life, ranging reticles and so on. But for the price and the fact that I am not an "operator" who's life depends on 100% durability and performance...this is all I need. I also just did not have the money to get one of the higher options. This optic is right in the "sweet spot" for those who don't want to spend 3x-5x more on a military grade optic and still want a reliable optic for the range, competition or hunting. Bottom line is just go buy one of the Sightmark sights that fits your price point and needs and have fun. If in 3 years it fails, go buy another one and you are still ahead of what you would have spent on some of the more "elite" sights.

This a very good product. Can't ask much more from a product like this. I would buy it again if I ever need to. (Still kinda new so can't speak to the longevity) but works well on my .300 blackout ar pistol.

I bought this along with another sight for comparison and I decided to go with the Sightmark R-Spec. I put this on my Stribog 9mm and it just seem to really belong there :-) I list the pros and cons below: Pros: - All controls are easy to operate (reticle selector clicks into place for each setting) - Elevation and windage adjustment are easy to operate - Easy to mount (quick release is my preference) - Housing is extremely well built and provides excellent protection for the lens Cons: - Maybe a bit expensive for most people (at least in my opinion) so look for good deal - Maybe a bit big for some platforms. (In my case, this maybe a bit oversize for the Stribog but I think it made a really strong statement. So I actually love it! Others may want to consider the size carefully.) - The unit (because of the large size) obstructs the iron sight completely so no absolute co-witness possible unless you attach a different iron sight. You may try 1/3 co-witness. Final thoughts. I believe this is well worth the price even though it exceeds my budget. I'm only using this for my shooting hobby (home defense, range, etc...) so I think this is more than adequate. I did look at cheaper alternative but I think comparing the cost and what I would get, I would choose the Sightmark R-Spec again. Final final thought. There is also the Sightmark Core A-Spec (smaller size) that you could consider if you want something smaller. I actually opted for that at first until I realize I cannot change color (red only) and I cannot select reticle mode (dot only). So if those are not important for you, it maybe a better choice. For me I like the options on the R-Spec.

Pretty good entry level reflex sight, lots of reflection inside the eye box though unless your out in the sun with it

Extremely rugged design, holds zero on AR platforms, easy on-off without losing zero if you mark the front and back ends of where it was mounted. Multiple red/green recitals. I have astigmatism due to age, so the green sights are perfect.

This is my go-to dot sight for my AR15. It’s sturdy and accurate, firing the gun does not loosen or knock the sight off zero. The QD makes it easy to mount or remove- handy in case I feel like going full iron sights-but the sight picture is big enough that I can use them with the power off just fine. Being able to choose between red and green dots is a nice feature, although mine are usually just set to green. Having the ability to choose different reticles is fun, and being able to adjust the brightness of the dot makes this sight a great all-around option for quick target acquisition. You could spend a lot more on an Eotech that does the same thing, but why?

Easy to install, reticle is easily visible in all lighting conditions, and it has held zero from initial setup on my Diamondback DB9.

My one and only complaint is the brightness. I know its an age old story, "I can't see my red dot when its too bright out!" So you CAN see the dot when the sun is shining highest in the sky with no clouds in sight but, was it bright enough for my personal standards? No. Now Ik the most common argument for situations like this is, "Quit being cheap; Buy an EOTech or Trijicon or Aimpoint". I do agree you should spend more than $85 if you want a good red dot but not $500 for one of those top brands. Go for Vortex or Holosun for example. They are over $100 but are good for their price. Basically I don't recommend this Red Dot for people who are planning to do some shooting outdoors in the sun. Its more suited for indoor shooting or indoor play

Ce red dot est au top !! Solide, simple d’utilisation avec une fixation rapide, je le recommande fortement. Expédition rapide bien emballé.

Non ho potuto provare il puntatore sull'arma, in quanto il campo di tiro è chiuso causa covid. Nella confezione ho trovato una pezzuola per la pulizia della lente e una chiave per la regolazione, nonchè le istruzioni che non sono in lingua italiana. A mio avviso il puntatore è bello massiccio e robusto. Unico neo è giunto con la pila scarica, ma una volta sostituita, funziona egregiamente. Non mi resta che tararlo non appena riaprono i campi di tiro.

Sightmark x me è una ottima combinazione di qualità prezzo e lo è sempre stata.ho montato questo olografico sul mio m4 prima su un 300AA e poi l'ho passato su un 223. Sono rimasto colpito dalla precisione ,amo le ottiche con un grande prisma e questa soddisfazione appieno le mie esigenze .perfetta.

Seems like a decent build. Reticles are crisp. Lock is secure. I have an EOTECH and Holosuns, this seems like a good option for 22lrs - better chance at holding zero. Parallax is good, minimal shifting if any.
