I second your motion, I got my very first Eotech (a 512) a few weeks ago from the SKD group buy. I have yet to mount it on a rifle because it is to go on a SBR whose paperwork is pending, but it is by far the best optical sight I've ever seen. Neat how the reticle just seems to superimpose itself on whatever you are looking at, regardless of the distance to the target. I've had trouble with some other sights due to an astigmatism, but the Eotech looks clear as a bell with no distortion. BTW, if anybody out there is looking to buy an Eotech, SKD (look at the top right of this page) is great. They have a user-friendly website and their shipping and prices are top notch. |

Agreed. Works well with my old eyes. One thing I found interesting...the superimposed reticle remains the same size (relative to the target) regardless of eye relief. Try it! I know some guys will dogpile on the battery issue...I guess if you're a covert operative or you believe the holocaust is coming that may be an issue. I shoot for fun, and just keep an extra set in my range bag. |
As for prices--shop around. I bought one from a local for $389. This is the 552.65. (NV). I have seen them advertised for much higher BTW. I love it. My opinon is it is the most well rounded of them all. None are perfect but decide what you need it for and then choose. I like it most for the 1MOA dot. |
