Sight Mark Optics

#1 Post by Sc85uk »

Does anyone have any experience with this brand of optics, in particular their reflex sights?


I wanted to get a reflex/holographic to chuck on a .22 for the moment but would ideally like something that can take the forces of a full bore if I ever decide to get a straight pull which is why I do not mind spending a bit on sights like this.

I believe Holosun make the Sightmark and they seem to get good reviews. Friend of mine uses one on his Armsan shotgun with no problems.

I used a Sightmark Ultrashot QD on my BR99 box mag shotgun for 2 years without issue. The sight has been on 2 x .22's, a 9mm and a 12bore and its still going strong. My only criticism is the wierd batteries mine runs on but i believe the current generation run on standard battery types (CR123's etc)

Was it easy to sight in? The current gen run on more common battery types.

No harder/easier than most red-dots. It just has the standard arrangement of two adjustment ports (mine takes an allen key), one for windage, the other for elevation. I've never had a problem with it losing zero either. As a budget red-dot they're hard to beat IMO.

Any recommendations of online retailers, I could get one from?

No particular recommended place. I think i bought mine from UKMC Pro back in the day as it was the few places to have them, but a quick Google search and it seems tons of places have them now, Optics Warehouse, Uttings, Patrolbase. I'd just shop around for the best price
