| Is the 512 the best bang for the buck...know there is better...but for the average shooter with limited funds? |
| I liked the 512 I had. Another inexpensive sight I enjoyed owning is the Millet DMS1-4 scope. It's got a true 1x setting, glass is decent. Only downside is the reticle isn't bright enough to show up red in really bright sunlight, so you aim with a black donut. Probably a more cost effective option than adding a magnifier down the road to the Eotech, although I had good experience with a LaRue Poboy magnifier for my eotech, but I don't think LaRue has it available now. But if you don't see a need for magnification, definitely go with a 512, they are cheap and work great. |
| I've been running a 512 on my Rock river for about 4 years now....the only problem was the mounting peice that grips the rail got knawed up after a few years so i just emailed L3 and they sent me a new one about 3 days later. Its affordable but not cheap holds its zero well and I like the 1 MOA dot and I actually have faster target aquisition with it than with any of my aimpoints.....I guess its just my eyes. With the 3x magnifier I have shot it out to 400 yards with very good results and would recommend that as an option aswell. good luck. |
