A reflex sight gives you the benefit of both accuracy and rapid target acquisition which you cannot get from a closed sight or a scope, but your optic has to be robust enough to withstand any punishment that might be dished out on it without producing perfect results.
Let’s face it, most of us can’t spend a thousand dollars on an optic. It fits the demand for affordable, high-quality optics for rifles, carbines, and shotguns. Though it is priced for any budget, you get plenty of value in this optic.
In all honesty, you won’t find another optic in the same class with the Sparc 2 at the same price. It is durable, easy to use, and maintains its accuracy just like the higher priced units, but doesn’t include all of the bells and whistles which add to their price. It is light, it doesn’t add bulk to your weapon and is easy to install at various heights to suit your preference with its adjustable height installation feature.

PROS
CONS
Compared to other sights in its class, the Sparc 2 is very much worth the investment. Take a look at a few of the characteristics which add value to this optic:
You will have no problem mounting this sight on rifles, carbines or shotguns.
It is especially suited for carbines but will withstand the higher strength recoil of a shotgun without damaging its accuracy, even when you are shooting magnum shells.
Being a primary unit without the bells and whistles makes it great for getting it set up, sighted in and ready to use in no time.
For the price you are paying, you are getting a pretty substantial quality optic.
You could pay a whole lot more for the same quality optic as this product, but why would you? To even come close to its optic quality, you would be looking at a Trijicon RX34-C-800112, which will cost you more than twice as much. Let’s see what makes it so unique.
