I have the chance to get a very good price on these following eotechs. I know some about them but was looking for some more advice. Im unable to get a aimpoint so please stick to just these models. the 512 552 and XPS. Now ive heard about the 512 being their solid model. I also don't need NV but thought it might be something neat to have. Lastly Im looking for co-witness. Thanks for the help

Between those 3, go with the XPS model as it has the transverse battery compartment and is supposed to be more reliable. They are still too new to tell if that'll be the case in the future.

XPS is the latest and greatest. I just got an XPS 2-0 and sold my 512.

XPS-2. Love it, leaves room on the rail for BUIS and with the right mount, LaRue, it co-witnesses with font sight

I prefer an absolute co-witness rather than spending the money and adding the weight of a secondary mount for a lower 1/3 co-witness, but that's just me.

on the xps 2 without the mount is it 1/3 co- witness ?

Only get the 557 if you get a magnifier behind it as the BDC dots are only usable under magnification.

well might as well add in the 552 ? This is the one i was leaning towards as long as its reliable

I like the 552. It is what I have on my ERB.

Look at the 517. Same as the 557 but no NV and no magnifier oriented BDC.
