Compare the specs.

You will find the only thing EO does that Aimpoint doesn't is a 65 MOA ring around the red dot.  If that is what you need then go EO.

All else tips towards Aimpoint IMHO.

Some guys are very protective of their choice, so you will not find a shortage of very strong opinions on this topic.  I have both and I like them both.  I like the reticle that the Eotech offers for some specific purposes, but I like the Aimpoint for others.

Bottom line is, you can't go wrong either way, they both have plenty of positives.  Good luck.

They will both do the job good.

The EoTech is a little faster.

The Aimpoint has a lot longer battery life!  I really like the Micro.

The 65moa ring on the Eotech is GREAT for fast target acquisition, especially at lower powers when the aimpoints dot at the same power and MOA can be harder to find quickly but they are both great sights

Me personally, I am a Eotech man

You may want to check out the new trijjicon Tri-power, I think it will go great on my ACR when I get it.

I've owned and used both. Like some others I prefer the Eotech's reticle but not enough to offset the Aimpoint's ruggedness & KISS battery life (leave it on 24/7 for literally years... nothing to turn on, no auto-shutoff to worry about, just pick it up and go!) To prevent Aimpoint reticle washout under the brightest conditions (or when using a taclight at night) I took the advice of a sandbox user and run w/the ARD killflash and discovered it improves reticle contrast when you need it but doesn't interfere w/rapid target acquisition/engagement (I did take it off when sighting in, though, to improve precision aiming). Both are combat proven, try them both if you can and pick the one that best suits your needs & budget!...

So scrolling thru to page 3 was too much trouble?

Same question, different day
