I can get an aimpoint ML2 for $365 or a demo Eotech 551 A65 rev.F for $330. Even though the Eo is cheaper, with all of the bad press it is getting I kinda am unsure about how good of a deal it is. The sight will be going an A2 w/ a scout type mount. It seems like the more open Eo or even a bushnell holosight would be beter then an ML2 in this set-up. Hell it's not like I am LEO or going to the sandbox, maybe the spot would be good enough for a range/ tractor gun? I know the ML2 and Eo are bright enough in strong sun, but is the spot even close in brightness and clarity? Is the bushnell holosight even worth looking at? I know it has less batt. run-time and not as bright as rev.F Eo. I was really leaning towards the 551 , but after skimming through all the " my Eotech crapped out" threads it has me a little concerned. |

Everyone's experience is different. I have both and I'm partial to the eotech for what I use the weapon. I have been running the same Rev F eotech for quite a while now and haven't had a single problem. I haven't personally dealt with eotech customer service, but from what I have read, they will take care of you in the event you have a problem. Every manufacturer has its problems. There are a large number of eotechs and aimpoints out there. Will there be problems with some...sure. In my personal experience, I haven't seen any major problems (first hand) with either of them. And I haven't read about any problems that haven't been fixed. Just my 2 cents..
