| was thinking of putting one of these on my DPMS AP4.308 or is it just for close quarters?how far out is it good for? |
I should have gotten the 552 doggone it...
I personally have used an EOThingy to hit man-sized targets at 400 yards using a Bushmaster Shorty-AK ( AR-15 sporting a 11.5" barrel w/ a stupidly long AK-style break ), so I would guess that your proposed platform could do at least that good and probably better. Would I expect 1/4 MOA performance? Probably not, but definitely good enough for .gov work. |

It doesn't have an effective range for say. However the 1 MOA dot tends to wash out objects far larger then the dot size indicates ,especially when you mount the optic closer to your eyes. At around 400 yards a 12 inch gong is completely obscured by the dot when mounted as far forward as possible on my FAL . (DSA Extended mount ,and my eyes) With it sighted in at 200 yards,I find that if I put the dot above the gong as if making a figure 8 out of it and the dot with a space between equal to the dot I can bang that gong at 400 . At 300 ,I barely cut the top of the gong. Past 400 is possible,but more like morter fire for me .  I've used it to 600,but even with knowing my bullet drop, the wash out of the human eye makes it guesswork. I haven't had the chance to see if the new magnifyer reduces the wash out tendancy of the human eye. (Someone ,anyone,reviews of the magnifier ?) |
You have good eyesight. I wear glasses and Im good out to about 100 yds w/ my eotech. I have a friend that is ex-Marine and he sighted in for me and could shoot it more accurately... I bought it for targets within 100 yds. |
