so i've been looking to get an ar for quite a while now. finally just sealed a deal w/a seller on here for this rifle.

http://ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=7&f=21&t=478420

now i've got a few questions i'm hoping ppl can give some input on.

i'm definitely wanting a scope of some type but:

1) not sure whether to go with eotech (or similar) vs aimpoint (or similar)

2) was wondering if there's a big difference between actual eotech/aimpoint vs clones and knockoffs (such as bushnell's holosite or their mp trophy 1x32 acog clone)

3) as far as eotech goes, what's the big difference btw the 511, 512, 551 and 553 models?

4) was wondering what type of mount/accessory i would need to mount onto the rifle

5) what i'd have to do in order to be able to co-witness w/the flip up sights

any input would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance.

now i've got a few questions i'm hoping ppl can give some input on.

i'm definitely wanting a scope of some type but:

1) not sure whether to go with eotech (or similar) vs aimpoint (or similar) I prefer the aimpoint (not look a likes but a real one and only aimpoint) I had two Eotechs they are good optics ,but had too send both of them for warranty service.
2) was wondering if there's a big difference between actual eotech/aimpoint vs clones and knockoffs (such as bushnell's holosite or their mp trophy 1x32 acog clone) yup, short explanation "buy cheap ,buy twice"
3) as far as eotech goes, what's the big difference btw the 511, 512, 551 and 553 models?  check this , but do a price research before you buy Eotech can be found for less than the listed price in SWFA  http://www.swfa.com/c-624-eotech-military-holosights.aspx
4) was wondering what type of mount/accessory i would need to mount onto the rifle If you go the Eotech way you dont need any additional mount unless you want 1/3 cowitness with your BUIS. If you go the aimpoint route the LaRue TActical Lt-150 can not be beat.
5) what i'd have to do in order to be able to co-witness w/the flip up sights both the aimpoint and EO will cowitness with your BUIS
any input would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance.


ETA:LaRue tactical offers good prices on aimpoint or EOtech plus mounts combos.
