Three Questions:

 1)  Has anyone used a Sightmark Mini Red Dot Sightmark Mini Red Dot (Sightmark's Website)?
 2)  Has anyone mounted the above to one of the Docter, Burris or JPoint " On-Scope" or Quick Disconnect mounts?
 3)  If you own one of these ( Sightmark ) what type of Battery life?

  I know, I know..... " They're not as good" criticism and I would go with a Docter, Burris, or Jpoint if someone will send me one free or a Money Order for the cost, I'd even send back the receipt after I bought one!!! LOL.... Hey maybe BO can fix that too....That's Change I can't believe in LOL

Thank you.

I mounted one to my TA01NSN to see how I liked the setup.  I think it uses the same mount as the j-point.  I can't remember but I called SWFA and they knew.  I didn't really like the setup so I took it off.  I don't know about real battery life but the cheap battery that came with it was dead after a few months with little to no use.  I have not replaced the battery or used it since.   Overall it didn't seem that bad but I have nothing to compare it to.

Not that bad?? Didnt like the set up and battery life of 2-3 months with little or no usage pretty much qualifies as at least bad to real bad. Real bad would be battery going dead during hunt, SHTF scenario etc.

Too funny!  I didn't like the setup on the NSN.  I would not have liked a $300-$400 optic any better.  Battery life- well that was with the cheap China battery that came with it.  I have had these type of batteries only last a short time in my Aimpoints.......    lol
