| Okay so I'm getting my next build together I'm thinking about going with the Eotech 511 that opticplanet has for $359.99. It looks like a good price. Anybody find them cheaper and any experience with this praticular model good or bad? |
| the only problem you will find with that model is the lack of battery life... the n battery models are no longer being manufactured which is why the price has come down quite a bit. but if battery life is not what you are looking for i think that you would be more than happy with this or you could spend another 50 bucks and get the new xps 2 series, either way you will definitely enjoy an eotech i recently purchased the xps 3-0 and love it so far |
| I would say it truly depends on what your needs are. If you are not concerned about co-witnessing your iron sights with your optic than the 512 is a very affordable model to go with. If co-witnessing is a concern than I would look at either 517, 516, or the newer models in the XPS series which have a built in 7mm riser which will allow for co-witnessing. Having the riser already built into the optic will save you money. Also check your email for more info. |
| I'm not going to sell my 511, but I certainly wouldn't buy another one due to the limitations of the "N" batteries. I'm planning on moving it over to a range gun that can have the batteries removed when in the case and buying an XPS or two for my serious social guns. |
