| i am at the point in my AR build where i need to decide on a optic, I'm setting it up for QCB, and trying to decide between Aim point or Eotech ANY SUGGESTIONS |
|
Quoted:
^read it.. then buy an EoTech.  I disagree.. buy an aimpoint, zero it, leave it on, put in safe. |

You have credit card, no? A.) Find Eotech and Aimpoint you like, buy both from Amazon, return one. B.) Learn some Google-fu and find one of the existing 27,540 (or so) threads on this subject. Then decide for yourself....  Eotech: Highly Reliable Larger window, but some people don't like the blocky hood. Ring and dot reticle is faster for some. Battery life is less than Aimpoint Aimpoint: Smaller sight window Ridiculous battery life (years) Even more reliable Lighter than an Eotech If you have any sort of astigmatism or require corrective glasses/contacts you should probably look through both before you buy one. The appearance of the reticles/dots become very subjective once you introduce eye problems, i.e. Guy 1 with an astigmatism prefers an eotech, but Guy 2 prefers the Aimpoints. Also, it's been reported in threads here and elsewhere that the dots are a little better formed (dot is actually a defined red circle vs a point of light.) in the Comp and other large-format Aimpoints than in the Micros (T1/H1/R1). |
