Part 1 of 2: Sightmark Mini Green Dot Reflex Sight Model SM14011 Review

Here's a review of Sightmark's Mini Green Dot Reflex Sight Model No. SM14011. I purchased this optic for use on a Midwest Industries SKS Mini Dot Mount for my Russian SKS. The mount is designed for use with the Burris Fastfire II or "clone". The Sightmark optic is a Burris Fastfire II clone and fits the MI mount perfectly.

How is the midwest mount holding up? any troubles?

[@diananable8454]

The MWI mounts are solid. They do have little querks about them that can be bothersome, however. I have two of these mounts: One for my Russian SKS; the other for my Saiga AK47. As I mentioned in part 2 of my review, the MWI mount blocks the gas tube locking lever so removing the gas tube is a pain.

How durable is the sight itself? And what is the battery life like?

[@Kaneguy]

I wouldn't take it into battle but it seems durable enough for the weekend warrior. Dunno about the battery life because I returned it.

Waterproof/resistant is not rust proof/resistant--hence the desiccant.
