What the diffrent model EOtechs are? There seems to be many models now. I have a brand new CompM2 that I will trade with someone for 1 week, you send me your EOtech and I will send you my Aimpoint to play with for 1 week. Anybody up for that? EOtech freaks here is your chance to show me the light. This way I don't waste my cash on something I may or may not like. If I break it you get a brand new one, You guys know my word is good for it. It's been 2 years since I played with one, maybe they have improved. What do you say? |
Ok, since everyone else is too busy to answer your question  , here is some stuff from my archives.------------------------------------------------------ Reply Posted - 01/14/2004 : 16:47:23 SMGLee Team AR15.Com Registered: Jun 2001 Posts: 3127 of 3364 CA, USA User Info Email User Reply Quote Send IM Message -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A: Bushnell’s Holosight is build by EOtech to sell under the Bushnell banner and for civilian use only. This is why the new EOTech 510 and 550 series has the military and LE use only etched on the side of the hood. A: EOTech makes the 500, 510 and the 550 series holographic sights. Those model numbers denotes the option and capability of each model. The 500 series is the civilian sight, this is the same unit as the Holosight Bushnell sells through their distributors. Only difference in those two sights is the marking on the side to differentiate the different company. The 510/550 series is the law enforcement sight that has a one-piece aluminum protective hood. Within the 510 line up, there are 511 and 512, 511 is the N battery model, and the 512 is the AA battery model that was released early 2003. The difference between the 510 and the 500 series is some electronics, and the protective hood. The 550 series also come with the extruded aluminum hood but it is also NV compatible and has the latest raised rubberized buttons. The new 550 military sight is also rated for 33ft for 24 hours under water. The 551 is the N battery model and the 552 is the AA battery model. This is taken from the EOTech FAQ i have not had time to complete yet. ----------------------------------------- Optics, Mounts, and Sights • EOTech "E" vs. "F" question Author Posted - 03/08/2004 : 18:03:51 MEH92 Member Registered: Sep 2003 Posts: 151 of 153 OH, USA User Info Email User Reply Quote Send IM Message -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Has anyone talked to EOTech reps about the actual difference in battery life between the E and F versions? I've heard it's substantially longer in the new F's but what does that translate into in actual hours? The chart on the EOTech website doesn't say which version it measures. I like the idea of having to keep only one battery type around (I have a Surefire M500 forend) but am not at all impressed with it's limited battery life of the older EOTech E's. I'm interested in the more affordable tactical models (511,512) and don't need NV compatibility Thanks [ Edited By MEH92 on 3/8/2004 6:05:37 PM ] Reply Posted - 03/08/2004 : 18:22:38 CSGunWorkscom Dealer Registered: Aug 2003 Posts: 667 of 671 CA, USA User Info Email User Reply Quote Send IM Message -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The 552 and the 512 have the longest life of 930 to 1000 hours. The 511 I think I was told in the high 600's low 700's. www.csgunworks.com [email protected] Here’s some testimonials about CS GunWorks for AR15 Board www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=3&f=18&t=169925&page=1 ________________________________________ It’s all about customer service! www.csgunworks.com 1-877-585-2342 1-916-670-1103 to my desk 1-916-290-2749 cell Reply Posted - 03/08/2004 : 18:41:22 SMGLee Team AR15.Com Registered: Jun 2001 Posts: 3371 of 3374 CA, USA User Info Email User Reply Quote Send IM Message -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- AA battery version has a factory claim of 700 hours on the Rev F vs. the 350 hours on the Rev E. FActory claim on Rev F running on Lithium batteries are running up to 1000 hours vs. the 500 hours on the older Rev E. N cell battery version has a factory claim of 200 hours on the Rev F vs. the 100 hours on the Rev E. I have been told EOTech reduced the actual battery life claim because of the battery manufactures' qulaity difference. Rev F is capable of reaching 1500 plus hours of operatiing life on setting 12. That is pretty impressive. All this plus more brightness adjustment and a bit sharper reticle. ________________________________________ Fly Low, And Avoid The Radar.

With that kind of battery life I think the 512F is the way to go for me. AA's can't be too much hassle to find. I'll just have to keep a few extra in my A1 stock.

Is it marked on the sight somewhere?

It should also be stamped on the bottom of the box...

Just a FYI Eotech is working a a QR mount that Crane is working on for them or some type of spacer for the Eotech to properly Co-Witness...No news if or when that's going to happen. Also it will not be as high as the one that ARMS currently makes...

W-W, that is correct, #39 and EOTech = no worky worky....
