SIGHTMARK Mini Shot M-Spec M1 V2

Technology is advancing, and it's time for updates to already known optics. Today, we present to you the new SIGHTMARK Mini Shot M-Spec M1 V2. In 2019, we introduced Version 1. Let's take a look at what has changed in the last 7 years.

The box that contains everything. But before we show you the contents, for all the fact lovers, here are the technical specifications:

• Magnification 1x
• Reticle: 3 MOA dot, 32 MOA circle, or both simultaneously
• Objective lens diameter 24 x 19 mm
• Adjustment range: side 160 MOA, height 120 MOA; 1 MOA per click
• Parallax 45.7 m
• Material 6061-T6 aluminum
• Maximum recoil .308
• IPX7 – waterproof up to 1 m for 1 hour
• Battery type CR1632
• Battery life up to 50,000 h (dot, low setting)

Here are the contents hidden in the packaging. You get the Red Dot, a low mount, a high mount, a rubber cover, two wrench keys, extra screws (M3 and #6-32), a user manual, and of course, a cleaning cloth is included.

The low mount of the Mini Shot M-Spec M1 V2 Red Dot. The mounting pattern is the same as the Docter/Burris pattern, so you can also use mounts from other manufacturers with this screw pattern.

The Mini Shot M-Spec M1 V2 Red Dot is designed to be mounted on a pistol but can also be easily attached to Picatinny rails thanks to the included mounts. So, let’s put it on the AKM.

On the left side of the Mini Shot M-Spec M1 V2, you will find only the button for adjusting the brightness of the dot beside the label.

On the right side, you have the control button for darkening the dot and the side adjustment of the aiming point. To turn it on, you only need to press one of the two buttons; to turn off the Mini Shot M-Spec M1 V2, both buttons must be pressed for about three seconds.

On the top, as is common with many mini red dots, is the battery compartment. You will also find the height adjustment here, as well as the brightness sensor for automatic adjustment. Personally, I’m not a fan of such automatic adjustments, but with the Mini Shot M-Spec M1 V2, it works well.

The dot is 3 MOA in size and is very clear. Compared to its predecessor, you can now choose your reticle. In addition to the 3 MOA dot, there is also a 32 MOA circle, and both can be used simultaneously.

Since the camera had a bit of trouble, here is a better picture of the reticle. Overall, you have eleven brightness levels available, nine daytime levels, and two night vision levels. The viewing window, with its 24 x 19 mm, is very well chosen and larger than on the predecessor model. The edge also covers very little of your field of view and can quickly be overlooked.

Looking through the glass is a true pleasure, with no noticeable distortions, and the dot is clear even at the very edges. That's how it should be.

The white vertical line on the back of the Mini Shot M-Spec M1 V2 serves to quickly determine if you are holding the weapon, whether rifle or pistol, angled. With the pistol, it also makes it easier to "find" the dot. A practical feature.

Conclusion

The Mini Shot M-Spec M1 V2 from SIGHTMARK offers you very good value for money. You can tell that a lot has happened since Gen1 of this optic. We find all the improvements very useful and good. The mount is stable and lives up to its promises. The reticle can be changed and provides sharpness all the way to the edge.
