Headquartered in Mansfield, Texas, and also operating a European headquarters out of the Bulgarian capitol city of Sofia, Sightmark is one of the premium sources of quality sport and tactical optics on the international market; law enforcement officers, competition shooters, dedicated hunters and others have long learned to gain confidence in Sightmark's optics and accessories, from riflescopes and binoculars down to night vision technology and red dots.

New for 2018 from Sightmark is the RAM line of reflex sights – an upgrade of the already vastly popular Ultra Shot line. Finally available after several months of waiting, having been originally announced in late 2017, the RAM line of reflex sights includes four entries, four resilient close-range optics perfect for everything from target shooting to law enforcement and military operations on both AR platform firearms and shotguns.

All RAM series sights are now powered by a CR123A battery, which provides superior battery life (200-2,000 hours) over other red dots and reflex sights. A wide lens quickens target acquisition while helping to maintain a wide FOV.  

Quick-detach models include an improved QD lever allowing a low profile to keep the sights from snagging on gear or unlatching during the heat of the moment. All models are designated to turn up the heat on your range time, provide you the best shot against running prey or give you the edge when lives are at stake with ultra-fast target acquisition and seriously long battery life.

The Ultra Shot R-Spec, A-Spec and M-Spec reflex sights are available in four different variants.
