What do ya'll think about an Eotech 512 on my Bushy M4?
Just to be sure - this will line up on an A2 post and can be co-witnessed with the MBUS, righhhtt? $409 + shipping from Midway - fair deal? Any place better? Is there a better model Eotech at a similar price? |
| I am a big fan of the 512, I've had mine for several years and haven't found a cqb sight I like better. My only complaint is it chews through alkaline batteries prety quick, lithiums are alot better. And yes it is one of the few EO's still made that will absolute co-witness. |

No prob.....kicking myself in the ass....got the 512 from sportsmansguide for like $370 but now I want the mount and will have to pay full price. Cant beat the GGG deal when it has the cover too! Make sure you check the EE, gunbroker, auctionarms and ebay. I bought my Accucam for $66 shipped. Sending you an IM. |

i had a 512 on my last gun and loved it. Im tempted to try something smaller though this time or one of the ones with the 7mm rise for less of a chance of seeing the front post with a magnifier behind it. The 517 (my fav Eotech) has the 7mm riser, control buttons on the side so they're still accessible when using a magnifier and it has a stronger & better-designed mount crossbolt. HTH... Tomac |

I was looking at the 517, but think I might do the 516 this time maybe. Possilbly a little smaller? I read diff things on diff sites so its hard to believe the specs I read. The 516 is supposedly .6" shorter than the 517 according to Eotech's website but I prefer AA battery useage since everything else in my kit uses AA's as well (YMMV). Keep us posted!... Tomac |
