I'm considering purchasing a EOTech sight but was wondering what the difference was in these two types of reticles; Factory pre-mounted with 2D Standard reticle pattern (511.A65) Factory pre-mounted with 1MOA Dot reticle pattern (511.D1) I'm interested in the shorter "N" battery powered hooded version, who has the best prices? Thanks! |

A65 is the standard 2D reticle, it has a 65MOA outer circle and a 1MOA inner dot, it is in my opinion the best available reticle for CQB to 200 yards. D1 is just a simple 1MOA dot, it is only good for precision shooting. There is a group buy for the EOTEch on this board, check out the thread posted below. the price for a 511 is 260.00 [url]http://www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=3&f=18&t=155728[/url] |

As SMG has covered the reticle question, suggest ya check my ramblin "aside" to this post and bear in mind that the "N" version has even less battery life.....[url]http://www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=3&f=18&t=156098&w=myTopicPop[/url] It's not too ramblin, but something to consider IMHO, when looking at purchase of a "red-dot" type optic.

Mr Wilson is correct on the battery life, but I had my 551 for an year, I had chamged the battery only twice. the newer revision have increase the battery life on the 551 to about a 100-150 hours, and the 552 to about 500-800 hours. Only thing going for the Aimpoint is the battery life. [:)] If you want to read some more rumbling, here is a little review I did.
