Shield Elcan Spectre Mount for SMS/RMS

• Elcan Spectre interface: This mount is made to place a Shield SMS or RMS footprint sight on an Elcan Spectre, giving prism-scope users a compact way to add a fast secondary aiming point.
• Shield RMS/SMS footprint: Compatibility with the Shield RMS/SMS mounting standard supports a wide range of Shield mini red dot sights, making it easier to match the mount to an existing optic.
• Aluminium construction: The aluminium body keeps the mount light while providing the rigidity needed to hold a miniature sight securely on a hard-use rifle setup.
• Low added weight: At 50.00 g, the mount adds only modest mass to the host optic, helping preserve the balance and handling of a carbine or tactical rifle.
• Purpose-built fixed design: As a dedicated fixed mount, it offers a straightforward installation for users who want a stable, repeatable platform rather than a universal clamp-on solution.

About the Shield SMS/RMS Series

The Shield SMS/RMS series covers a broad family of miniature reflex sights and mounting solutions built around the company’s compact optic footprint. Within Shield’s lineup, this range serves shooters who want a small, lightweight red dot system that can move across pistols, rifles and shotguns with the correct adapter or mount. The series includes not only optics, but also dedicated interface parts for slide cuts, Picatinny and Weaver rails, and scope-mounted applications.

SMS and RMS-compatible mounts are designed around practical integration rather than bulk. The range includes options for 30 mm and 34 mm scope tubes, Picatinny and Weaver adapters, and firearm-specific plates, which makes the system useful for both sporting and professional setups. That design approach gives the series its defining character: a compact sighting platform with multiple mounting paths, allowing users to place a Shield mini sight where it best supports fast target acquisition and close-range engagement.

About the Shield Elcan Spectre Mount for SMS/RMS

The Shield Elcan Spectre Mount for SMS/RMS is a dedicated interface for fitting a Shield miniature red dot sight to an Elcan Spectre prism scope. Its role is simple but useful: it lets a shooter combine the magnified capability of the host optic with the speed of a compact reflex sight. On rifles set up for mixed distances, that arrangement can make transitions quicker when moving from a magnified sight picture to a close-range aiming solution.

Because it uses the Shield RMS/SMS mounting standard, the mount is suited to Shield optics built around that footprint. This gives the user a consistent mounting pattern across compatible mini sights and helps keep the overall setup compact. The design is especially relevant on tactical optics and practical rifle builds where an offset or auxiliary red dot can reduce the need to work through magnification at short range.

The mount is made from aluminium, which gives it the stiffness needed for a secure optic interface without adding unnecessary bulk. With a weight of 50.00 g, it keeps the package relatively light, an important detail on rifles that already carry a substantial primary optic. Finished in black, it visually matches most modern sighting systems and maintains a clean, integrated appearance on the host scope.

About Shield Sights

Shield Sights traces its roots to Great Britain in 1983, when Shield International was formed. The company focuses on the design and manufacture of firearm sights for military, law enforcement and civilian use, with product lines that include mini red dot sights and rifle sights. Shield’s work in miniature reflex optics goes back decades, with its original mini red dot sight design dating to 1996.

That long involvement in compact sighting systems is especially relevant to products such as the SMS and RMS mounting ecosystem. Shield mini red dot sights have also appeared under names including Firepoint, Tasco Optima, Trijicon RedDot and JPoint, reflecting the company’s early role in this segment. Shield later developed the Close Quarter Battlesight for the UK military and introduced the civilian-oriented Close Quarter Sportsight in 2011, reinforcing its reputation for compact, practical firearm optics.
